With school records within his reach, Juneau-Douglas High School signal caller Phillip Fenumiai has a goal.
Except it is not the goal one would expect.
“Records,” Fenumiai said dismissively. “Records are not something I
am about. If I am playing in the last game of the year with my
teammates, now that would be special.”
The JDHS Crimson Bears’ football team has lost a lot of size on the
offensive line in the last three years, which would be unnerving for a
quarterback.
Not Fenumiai.
“In some ways it is good and in some ways it is bad,” Fenumiai said.
“It is bad in that you don’t have that size you want in o-linemen, but
this year it is good because our o-linemen are a lot more mobile.”
Mobile is good for a quarterback like Fenumiai who stands
six-foot-three and weights just over 200-pounds and is one of the
fastest players in the Rail Belt Conference.
“Our o-linemen can do a lot more things,” Fenumiai said. “They can
run with me, they can run with the backs and they are more athletic so
we have more downfield blocking. We are really conditioned, and some of
them play both ways.”
Fenumiai is on pace to break a number of Crimson Bears records this season.
With 4,620 yards in the air and 52 touchdowns, Fenumiai is second on
the JDHS career list behind Chris Hinkley (5,132 yards and 71
touchdowns).
