BIG STONE GAP, VA — Union High School senior quarterback Kam Bostic is this week’s Player of the Week after a dominant performance in the Bears’ win over Lee High School.
Bostic, a four-year member of the Union program, accounted for five total touchdowns Friday night — throwing four and rushing for another. His ability to make plays with both his arm and his legs helped set the tone for the Bears’ offense.
Head Coach Travis Turner said Bostic’s growth has been clear from last season to now.
“Kam’s a student of the game his leadership has gotten better this year, and his teammates love him,” Turner said. “He did a great job with his legs and his arm and was able to make some big plays.”
Bostic began his career at Union as a wide receiver before moving under center during his junior year. He says that experience has shaped the way he sees the field.
“The first two years I was playing receiver, that helped me learn concepts and coverages,” Bostic said. “Having that season at quarterback last year, plus more reps in practice, has made the transition smoother.”
Now in his senior season, Bostic is focused on big-picture goals.
“Our first goal is to win the district championship, then compete for the region, and hopefully play for a state title in December,” he said.
Union will host Daniel Boone this week for its first home game of the season, a highly anticipated matchup expected to draw a big crowd. Turner said the Bears will need to be prepared for Boone’s size, speed, and variety of looks on both sides of the ball.
With his athleticism, leadership, and command of the huddle, Bostic is ready to guide Union through a promising senior campaign.
