Maranatha QB Andrew Elffers’ junior season highlight reel … Chris Rix weighs in via Twitter …

Aram’s take: As a sophomore, Elffers lit the world on fire. As a junior, well, not so much. What will we see in 2012? I have a hard time pinpointing where Elffers will enter next season in the quarterback rankings. You’ve got Heyworth back at M-Town. You’ve got Cox back at PHS. Do you put him above either? Most of the teams in the East will be breaking in new starters. So, I don’t know what you do. I watch this reel and see all the great tools Elffers has. Quick release. Good runner. I saw him last year at the SGV Shootout and thought he had great arm strength. To me, he’s a legit college prospect and the scholly he desires will likely be there at the end of the day. But for now, a lot of peeps are haunted by what happened last season, the San Gabriel game especially. Some people have quietly questioned a tweak in the Minutemen offense and used that as the culprit. As a junior, Elffers threw for 1,300 yards and 15 TDs LESS than he did in his sophomore campaign. My vibe is that this will be one hungry kid eager to go out with a bang. After Monrovia, the Mid-Valley is anybody’s for the taking. I’ll be very interested to see what kind of summer Elffers has.
