FROM THE EXPRESS TIMES
Nazareth Area High School junior quarterback Dan Harding admitted what's happened so far this season wasn't what he expected.
In the summer, the 6-foot-4, 190-pound quarterback was battling senior Ben Bradley for the starting job after Matt Carhart graduated.
Harding won the gig and hasn't looked back.
Through eight games he is 101-for-170 for 1,349 yards with 16 touchdowns and six interceptions.
"I can’t say I anticipated it," Harding said. "In the beginning of the year, I was fighting for a starting job -- moving a day at a time trying to get better.
"It’s a nice surprise, I guess."
Harding set a Nazareth single-game record with 402 passing yards on Oct. 1 against Central Catholic.
The Blue Eagles (6-2 overall, 5-2 Lehigh Valley Conference) currently rank No. 4 in in the Districts 2-4-11 Class AAAA standings with 97.5 points. Nazareth travels to No. 1 Whitehall (7-1, 6-1) this Friday.
Last Friday in a 35-28 win over Parkland, Harding completed 15 of 23 passes for 191 yards with a pair of TDs and INTs.
Harding is also one touchdown pass away from tying Ryan Fry's single-season program record of 17, set in 1996.
