Maty Mauk's High School Career Ends in Loss in State Title Game

When I talked with Kenton head coach Mike Mauk and his son Maty in July, all the two could talk about was winning a state championship, not the passing records Maty was on-the-brink of breaking.

Maty got all the record, but not the state title.

Norwayne scored a touchdown with 31 seconds to go in the game to capture Ohio's Division IV championship with a heart-stopping 48-42 win.

Mauk tried to bring his team back with only a half minute to go, but he threw an interception at the goal-line on the last play of his high school career.

The recently-named 2011 Ohio Mr. Football finished his career completing 27-of-50 passes for 421 yards and five touchdowns.  The Missouri-bound Mauk also carried the ball 22 times for 50 yards and a touchdown.

The teams combined for six touchdowns in the fourth quarter and 966 yards in total offense.

Kenton High School's Maty Mauk on High School Football America Radio Show

Maty Mauk of Kenton High School enters his senior season poised to set several new national, career passing records.

Thursday night, he'll join me on the High School Football Football America radio show to discuss his incredible career throwing the ball.  In just 35 games, Mauk has thrown for 13,519 yards and 151 touchdowns.

Those are some incredible numbers that are magnified by the fact that the person he is chasing for the top spot is his brother Ben, who set those marks from 1999 to 2002.

Heading into the 2011 season, Ben and Maty have thrown for an incredible 30,883 yards for Kenton.  The Wildcats pass-happy offense is the creation of the boys' father Mike Mauk, who took over the program in the 80s.

The offense employs, five linemen, five receivers and Maty as the trigger-man of the offense.

Maty needs 3,846 yards to overtake Ben's record of 17,364 passing yards and 4,156 total yards to pass Ben's mark of 19,628 yards.  Maty needs 28 touchdowns to break the national record.

Here are some great family passing notes posted on MaxPreps.com:

Career Passing Yards
Ben and Maty Mauk: 30,883
Josh and John David Booty: 20,174
Ty and Koy Detmer: 16,226
Peyton and Eli Manning: 14,596
