MOULTRIE — It is obvious that the Colquitt County High football staff wants to get the ball in the hands of versatile Quin Roberson as many times and in as many ways as possible this season.

Already No. 5 on the Packers all-time receiving list, he is perhaps the best pass catcher in Region 1-AAAAA.

He also leads the team in punts returns — with an average of 24.4 yards a return — and is second in kickoff returns.

He takes snaps in the Packers version of the Wildcat formation and has, in recent weeks, become the team’s designated touchdown-scorer when Colquitt gets inside the 5-yard line.

Think the 6-foot, 180-pounder has any problem with the extra workload?

“Whatever the coach wants me to do, I’ll do,” Roberson said following Wednesday’s practice.

“Hey, he’s the guy with the rings on his fingers.”

Like most of the rest of the seniors, Roberson has been part of a Colquitt County program that went 2-8 two years ago and 4-6 last fall.

In 2008 he eased into the Rush Propst spread offense and led Region 1-AAAAA with 40 catches.

He is on pace to surpass that total when the Packers travel to Warner Robins on Friday to meet Northside.

He is again leading the region with 38 catches for 610 yards and after scoring on two short runs in the 35-10 victory over Houston County last Friday, he leads the region with 12 touchdowns and 72 points.

If Roberson can continue to produce on Friday, the Packers will stand a better chance of pulling an upset and perhaps winning a region title.

“I think we can,” Roberson said, sounding confident, but without a hint of cockiness. “Coach said there are 10 or 11 teams that can win it ( a state championship).

“I think we’re one of them.”

Colquitt County linebackers coach Darius Dawson has compared Roberson favorably to former Packer Sherard Reynolds, who had a fine high school career and went on to become an All-American at Valdosta State.
