If a break-the-mold sports story turns your head the way it does mine, meet Donovan McCoy.
With a name like that, he has to be a quarterback, right? McCoy passed for almost 3,000 yards and 32 touchdowns in his only year as a starter at Fort Thomas Highlands. He ran for 22 more and the Bluebirds finished another perfect season with a Class 4-A title trophy.
