[LEFT]Dixie Heights quarterback, [URL=”http://rivals.yahoo.com/ncaa/football/recruiting/player-Zeke-Pike-108631″]Zeke Pike[/URL] is a current sophomore and was the latest recipient of a scholarship offer from coach Joker Phillips. Pike is a 6’5 220lbs quarterback from Fort Mitchell, KY. Pike started JV at quarterback and has some varsity experience at tight-end.[/LEFT]
[LEFT]I spoke with his head coach at Dixie Heights, Tom Spritzky, and coach Spritzky had some good things to say about Zeke and his performance last year in JV/varsity action:[/LEFT]
[QUOTE=Tom Spritzky]
[LEFT]Last year, Zeke played sparingly offensively at TE. Obviously, he is big so he is nice target. He has excellent hands and above average athleticism. Furthermore, he was our JV QB. Our JV only lost 1 game. I should say he was a man among boys in JV play.[/LEFT]

[LEFT]Coach Spritzky also talked about Zeke and the attention he will be getting because of the recent offer from Kentucky:[/LEFT]
[QUOTE=Tom Spritzky]
[LEFT]At this point, it is obvious to me that Zeke will receive a full DI scholarship from many schools. I want him to enjoy this process but all of our other players, who are not DI prospects, want to win a state championship. Zeke has a lot of leadership qualities that will make him the leader of this team. But most of all, I want Zeke to be humble about all the attention he will get and lead his teammates where we all want to go.[/LEFT]

[LEFT]Zeke holds offers from Eastern Illinois, Northern Illinois, Purdue, and Kentucky.[/LEFT]
