Grant Gunnell of St. Pius X (Houston) became the all-time career passing yardage leader in the state of Texas on Friday night.

At the time of a lightning delay with 7:39 remaining in the third quarter, the 6-foot-6, 220-pound senior had completed 19 of 29 pass attempts for 467 yards and four touchdowns, helping St. Pius X take a 34-14 lead over Concordia Lutheran (Tomball).

Hunter Lile of Booker held the record, throwing for 14,408 yards between 2011 and 2014. Familiar names like Garrett Gilbert (Lake Travis), Graham Harrell (Ennis) and Drew Tate (Baytown Lee) also dot the state's all-time Top 10.

At the time of the delay, Gunnell was up to 14,577 career yards and 178 touchdown passes. He needs just six touchdown passes to equal the career record in that category.

Committed to Arizona since April, Gunnell is regarded as a Top 10 prospect at his position by 247Sports.
