After transferring from Edna Karr to Bonnabel for his senior year, quarterback Jayce Romain has turned three seasons as an understudy into a fast start as the Bruins’ leader. His poise and playmaking have helped Bonnabel’s young offense surge as it pursues another district title.

By the Numbers
  • Romain has started 5 games; Bonnabel is 4-1 in that stretch.
  • The Bruins are averaging 28.8 points per game with Romain at quarterback.
  • Against John Ehret, he completed 14 of 21 passes for 329 yards and 3 touchdowns, adding 35 rushing yards.
  • Bonnabel is 5-3 overall and 4-0 in district play, with 4 straight district wins.
Yes, But

Romain’s transition came with a learning curve: he had to adjust to a new team and missed Bonnabel’s first 3 games of the season. He also threw an interception on his first drive against Ehret, but avoided further mistakes and helped power the Bruins to a 44-29 win.

State of Play
  • Romain brings experience and leadership to a young group of Bonnabel skill players.
  • The Bruins have won every district game since his debut and are trying to defend their district championship.
What's Next

Bonnabel faces Higgins in Week 9. A win would set up a likely Week 10 district-title showdown with Warren Easton.

Bottom Line

Romain’s transfer has given Bonnabel a confident, capable quarterback at a pivotal point in the district race—and his connection with the young offense could determine whether the Bruins repeat as champions.
