Peter Rose turned in an outstanding senior season while leading Amherst (VA) to a 14-0 record and its second consecutive state championship title, earning AP Group AA Player of the Year honors. The 6-1, 180-pound Rose, a quarterback and safety for head coach Scott Abell, threw for 1,133 yards and 13 touchdowns and rushed for 1,790 yards and 27 scores.
Winning the state title in 2006 was special, but the second title meant more to the Virginia Tech commitment.
