News Summary
David Amos transfers from Captain Shreve to Calvary Baptist Academy, affecting both teams ahead of the new season.
Shreveport – A significant shift in the local high school football landscape has emerged as junior quarterback David Amos has announced his transfer from Captain Shreve High School to Calvary Baptist Academy (CBA) in Shreveport, Louisiana. This transition could potentially impact both teams ahead of the upcoming football season.
Amos’s decision to relocate to CBA comes at a time when both schools are preparing for the upcoming season, which begins for Captain Shreve on September 5 against Ouachita and CBA on the same day against Oak Grove. His social media activities further confirm this change, as his profile currently displays the CBA logo and indicates his enrollment intentions.
During his sophomore season with Captain Shreve, Amos made his mark in two varsity games, completing two passes for a total of 67 yards, notably including a 56-yard touchdown pass against Parkway. His performance, albeit limited, showcased potential that CBA could leverage as they seek a new starting quarterback to fill the void left by Abram Wardell. Wardell, who graduated and is currently playing at Mississippi Gulf Coast Community College, left a legacy at CBA with a remarkable record of over 9,600 passing yards and 120 touchdowns.
As Amos prepares to join Calvary Baptist, his eligibility to play this season remains conditional. Should Amos move into the CBA district, he would likely be eligible to participate at the varsity level. Conversely, if he does not relocate within the district, he may have to sit out the season. In such a scenario, CBA would consider junior Matt Brinkman and sophomore Hudson Price for the starting quarterback position.
The dynamics of quarterback transfers in the region have become a topic of interest. Just recently, fellow quarterback Peyton Houston transferred from CBA to Evangel Christian Academy, where he emerged as a standout player, leading the state in passing and achieving a national single-game record of 817 passing yards, notably against Captain Shreve.
Captain Shreve’s loss of Amos is compounded by recent player departures, including starting center Ian Wallace, who has transferred to Loyola following graduation, all of which pose challenges for the team as they head into pre-season preparations. Following the recent trends, Captain Shreve may look to pivot their offensive strategy by converting tailback Jamarcea Plater, who rushed for over 2,000 yards last season, into a quarterback role to fill the void left by Amos.
As the fall scrimmage for Captain Shreve approaches on August 21 against Ouachita Christian, both teams are intensely assessing their lineups and strategies for a competitive season ahead. Coaches and fans alike are eager to witness how these changes will shape the dynamics within high school football in Shreveport.
The community is watching closely as both teams finalize their rosters and prepare to make their mark in the upcoming season.
