re: SC-NC All-Star Shrine Bowl

What were his official stats this season? Rushing and passing? And how did he win Mr. Football with unimpressive stats?

I have no idea how he won Mr Football. My best theory right now is that UGA just got trojan horsed. This was all a brilliant ruse orchestrated by none other than Steve Spurrier. He used his network to inflate the ranking of Jacob Park to the point that UGA Coaches were going to be chomping at the bit to get him in the fold. Then Spurrier sat back while Park had a Sr Season including (15 games):

246-461, 53.4% completion, 34 Passing TD's...
Jacob Park Stats

However, after a dismal 4 INT performance in the state championship and another awful Park performance in the Shrine Bowl, word started catching on that Park might be a bit overrated. So his coach (or whoever was in charge of posting Stratford HS's stats on Max Preps) deleted/omitted both his rushing yard, and INT totals from his MaxPreps profile. He was at about 12 INT's before the state playoffs though, so we just need to find the box scores for those games, and we already know he threw 4 INT's in the championship. So I'm guessing that it's right under 20 INT's total in 15 games.
