SANDPOINT — Sandpoint High senior Drew Lehman, starting quarterback of the Bulldogs’ football team, was recently named to a list of top 10 quarterbacks in the state by Idahosports.com.

As a junior, Lehman, who stands at 6 feet and 1 inch tall and weighs 190 pounds, was named the 4A Inland Empire League Offensive Player of the Year.

He also rushed for 192 yards and three touchdowns.

The top 10 list includes eight seniors and two juniors from every corner of the state. In addition to Lehman, these other quarterbacks were named to the list: Mack Jensen, Burley, sr.; Preston Wood, Carey, sr.; Caden Symons, Coeur d’Alene, jr.; Connor Perkins, Dietrich, sr.; Tristan Rea, Filer, jr.; David Kludt, Kamiah, sr.; Zeke Martinez, Meridian, sr.; Noah Velasco, Moscow, sr.; Josh Hardy, Valley, sr.
