DEL.ICIO.USBoise State coach flying in to meet with QB Michael Tamburo

North Gwinnett’s Michael Tamburo officially finished his high school career on Monday, playing in the GACA North-South All-Star game in Columbus.
Tamburo and his North teammates lost 17-0, as Lowndes’ Greg Reid, the AJC all-classification player of the year, returned two punts for touchdowns.
Tamburo, committed to Boise State, rotated with two other quarterbacks and completed three or four passes. Tamburo said the speed of the defensive backs and their ability to break on the ball made things difficult. Their speed reminded Tamburo of Newnan, the team that knocked North out of the playoffs in the state quarterfinals.
“The defense was pretty fast. We weren’t able to move the ball that much,” he said.
Tamburo said his longest pass was about 15 yards and that he was able to scramble and make some plays with his feet. Tamburo threw for nearly 2,200 yards and 18 touchdowns this season and, excluding yards lost on sacks, ran for 915 yards and 10 touchdowns.
Boise State offensive coordinator Bryan Harsin visited the Tamburo family earlier this month and head coach Chris Peterson is expected to visit sometime in January, Tamburo said.

Actually, the weather “up here” is pretty good for most of the season. It gets a little cold in December and January, but not anything like it gets in other northern states or the midwest. Boise and the “Treasure Valley” sit in a relative banana belt on the Snake River plain. It ain’t Florida, but some seasonal weather and a little snow never hurt anyone. It’s 44 degrees right now - not bad for January 7. And Boise is a great community and loves its football team!
