All QB.

His leadership and pocket presence at his age are uncanny.

As far as techinque and mechanics, he's def. ahead of Pryor at the same age. Now Pryor has size and speed that are superior to Braxton though.

Like I've said from day 1, the most impressive thing to me is his football IQ......heck, maybe one day he'll be as good as Craig! Avvvv check!

Northmont capitalizes on Wayne's turnovers

More than 30 Northmont players missed practice this week with flu-like symptoms, and Wayne faced its own injury problems, as star junior quarterback Braxton Miller missed his second straight game with a thigh bruise. In Miller?s place, Wayne started freshman Javon Harrison, who completed 17-of-45 passes for 177 yards but threw five interceptions.

Wayne?s Miller improving, could play Friday
By Kyle Nagel | Thursday, October 8, 2009

HUBER HEIGHTS ? Braxton Miller, the Wayne High School star junior quarterback who has missed two games with a thigh bruise, practiced on Wednesday, Oct. 7, and is significantly improving, coach Jay Minton said.

?I don?t know that he?s 100 percent, but he participated in some scrimmage yesterday,? Minton said. ?It?s what he can tolerate now. The injury is not totally cleared up but it?s getting there.

?He looks good, a lot better than he did this time last week.?

Miller suffered the injury against Trotwood-Madison in Week 4, and Wayne has lost two straight without Miller, against Troy and Northmont. The Warriors travel to Fairmont on Friday.

With junior back at helm, Wayne rallies past Fairmont

Quarterback Miller missed two games with thigh bruise, but scored twice in fourth quarter.

KETTERING ? On his first play in three weeks, Braxton Miller, the Wayne High School junior quarterback, lined up at receiver.
The long pass to him from freshman backup Javon Harrison sailed wide out of bounds.

?I would?ve caught it,? Miller said with a smile afterwards in his dressing stall, ?if it was inbounds.?

Miller would get more chances to make plays. In at quarterback from the fifth series onward, Miller scored two fourth-quarter touchdowns to help Wayne top Fairmont 21-14 on Friday, Oct. 9.

Does anyone have any kind of season stats for him?

They don't look too good from what I've seen.

Not including last night's game:

Passing: 93-40-6 518yds 5 TD (43% passing)

Rushing: 54 for 184 (3.4 ypc) 6 TD 4 FUM

I wouldn't really worry about high school stats. They're not as important as other things. I've watched a good amount of high school prospects have mediocre stats and have very good college careers.

Wayne finds clutch relief in freshman QB against Beavercreek

Harrison sparks comeback, Miller scores with 3:38 left to edge Beavers.

By Joseph Stueve, Contributing Writer
1:26 AM Saturday, October 17, 2009

BEAVERCREEK ? With his team facing a 5-3 fourth-quarter deficit, Wayne High School head coach Jay Minton decided to plug in quarterback Javon Harrison on Friday, Oct. 16.

With starting quarterback Braxton Miller at receiver, Harrison led the come-from-behind victory as the Warriors defeated Beavercreek 9-5 at Frank Zink Field in a Greater Western Ohio Conference showdown.
. . .
Near the end of the third quarter, Minton put the offense on the shoulders of Harrison. The freshman converted two key third-down throws on Wayne?s go-ahead drive. On fourth-and-goal at the 1, Miller stepped back under center and plunged in for the winning score with 3:38 remaining.
. . .
Miller was 3-of-9 for 22 yards, one interception and 9 yards rushing.

The star and the sub: Wayne?s QB duo is unique

Staff photo by Jim Noelker Wayne freshman Javon Harrison (left) and junior Braxton Miller are sometimes on the field at the same time. 
The Warriors are experimenting with unique plays this season involving both quarterbacks.

HUBER HEIGHTS ? Braxton Miller was driving the cart. Javon Harrison was laughing in the back.

Miller, Wayne High School?s junior quarterback, was at the wheel of the motorized get-around vehicle at the Warriors? Heidkamp Stadium on Wednesday, Oct. 21, transporting Harrison, the freshman backup, in the rear.

They were waiting to discuss their unique relationship.

?As you can see,? Wayne coach Jay Minton said, ?they get along great.?

And they both have become necessary parts of the Wayne offense. Since Miller returned from a thigh bruise injury that caused Harrison to play two full games as a substitute, Wayne has dabbled in using both at the same time, with Harrison under center and Miller using his significant athletic abilities elsewhere.

The experiment has worked. Wayne has won two straight with both Miller and Harrison on the field and enters the Dayton Daily News Game of the Week against visiting Centerville controlling its own playoff destiny.

Miller is still the unquestioned starter, Minton said, but the poise Harrison displayed has given the Wayne coaches an extra option if they need a unique play or formation (which they have).

The statistics haven?t been impressive: the 
pair have combined to complete just 42 percent of passes for an average of 110.5 yards and have thrown 12 interceptions. But Wayne coaches consider them essential to their hopes of winning their final two games and advancing to the postseason.

?Your goal is to have your best 11 on the field,? Minton said. ?Javon?s showing he can make some plays, passing or tucking it and running it, and we know Braxton can make plays, so why wouldn?t you sometimes have them both on the field??

The starter 
and the backup

Miller, who has collected interest from many of the nation?s college powers (including Ohio State) as one of Ohio?s most notable recruits, has been injured before, and it caused Wayne to scramble.

Last season, Miller broke his leg in a Week 6 loss to Fairmont. In the next six games, including two playoff contests, Wayne used four different quarterbacks: former starter Ryan Bitsko, current defensive back Tre Moore, current running back Tony Peters and Shawn Whitehurst.

Miller returned this season and led Wayne to a 3-1 start before suffering the thigh bruise. Harrison provided the Warriors an option they lacked last season: A clear and capable backup.

He had seen the field already, but only as the punter.

The star and the sub: Wayne’s QB duo is unique
Are 2 QBs better than 1 at Wayne?
With Miller back from injury, coaches get more creative.
By Kyle Nagel, Staff Writer
Friday, October 23, 2009

HUBER HEIGHTS — The Wayne High School football locker room is filled with sheets of paper detailing the Warriors’ possible playoff fate.

A printout of the Division I, Region 4 computer points is filled with motivational lines. It alerts the players that No. 9, where the Warriors now stand, isn’t good enough.

“You have to beat Centerville,” Wayne coach Jay Minton said. “That’s the key.”

Wayne (5-3) will get its shot tonight, Oct. 23, when it hosts Centerville (7-1) in the Dayton Daily News Game of the Week. An injury to junior quarterback Braxton Miller in Week 4 has changed the way the Warriors will offensively approach the game.

Miller, often rated as one of the state’s top juniors, suffered a deep thigh bruise in Wayne’s 21-19 defeat of Trotwood-Madison on Sept. 18. The backup is a freshman, Javon Harrison, who subbed for Miller in losses to Troy and Northmont.

Now, with Miller healthy, Wayne coaches are getting creative. Last week against Beavercreek, Harrison relieved Miller (who stayed on the field as a receiver) to jump-start the sputtering offense and help the Warriors to a 9-5 win to keep them in playoff contention.
