Hart High quarterback Ryan Connors left his mark on the record books during his two-year career, which ended Saturday night with a 37-23 Southern Section Division III semifinal loss to Los Alamitos.

Connors, who completed 32 of 56 passes for 398 yards and two touchdowns against Los Alamitos, threw for 4,144 yards this season to lead all passers in the state. The total was the highest single-season performance in Southern Section history and the second-highest in state history behind that of Carson’s John Walsh, who passed for 4,223 yards in 1990. Connors eclipsed Franklin’s Santiago Alvarez, who passed for 4,019 yards in 1989.

In addition, Connors finished as Hart’s career leader in attempts (824), completions (478), completion percentage (58%), yards (6,959) and touchdowns (65). He tied Jim Bonds (1986) with 39 touchdown passes this season and six touchdown passes in a game.

Connors also set the school record for passing yards in a game with 480.

Connors has attracted the attention of Hawaii, Nevada, Nevada Las Vegas and Pacific.
