VYPE Athlete of the Week: Dax Dupire

Fort Smith Northside quarterback Dax Dupire completed 30 of 43 passes for 425 yards and 3 touchdowns while also rushing for 75 yards and 4 touchdowns in a 59-38 victory against Rogers Heritage. For his performance, the Grizzlies' senior has been named the VYPE Athlete of the Week for the week ending Sept. 27. Dupire has put up awesome statistics this season while running a no-huddle offense for the first time. "Last year we ran a Spread, but we huddled," said Northside coach Darrell Henry. "We're doing some of the same things, but the main thing is we're doing them much, much quicker. "Dax has done an excellent job with it. He gets more comfortable every week and we're really really pleased with the way he's picked it up both mentally and physically." Through four games, Dupire has passed for 1,413 yards and 11 touchdowns while completing 107 of 158 passes.
