Mater Dei's Dash Beierly voted top quarterback in the CIF-Southern Section

Chaparral, which was able to score a lot for forward-thinking Washington commit Dash Beierly in three seasons as the team’s center. 
 
While a Puma he passed for 361 of 584 for 4,782 yards and 41 TDs and rushed for 929 yards and 16 TDs, having 12 of the latter in his final season there alone. In what would turn out to be his last two years with the team Chaparral had two of its most impressive seasons in recent history coming from nowhere; in both cases to second place in one of Southern California’s most respected leagues, the Big West – Upper Division – in what was at the height of the CIF-SS Division 2 selection. 
 
In his final regular season game there, Beierly guided the Pumas to a 59-57 victory over Roosevelt (Eastvale), likely the shootout of the year, as he completed 21 of 28 passes for 306 yards and five touchdowns while rushing for 158 yards and three touchdowns. 
 
Notably, Beierly achieved all that as an underclassmen, and has still two more yeas of high school level soccer before he can pen down his epitaph. This time, he’s going up against what quite possibly is the toughest schedule in the land, this with Mater Dei, the defending national champion.

Beierly could be the next signal caller to lead one of the most decorated programs in the country to more titles. It is indeed possible to strongly argue that he possesses all it takes to step into the shoes of such guys as Matt Leinart, Matt Barkley, J. T. Daniels, Bryce Young, and Elijah Brown. Even more so when accompanying him are other huge-name skill position players like running back Jordon Davison (Oregon), and wide receivers Marcus Harris (Oklahoma), Chris Henry (Ohio State), and Kayden Dixon-Wyatt. 
 
analyst Greg Biggins describes him as "one of the nation’s top dual-threat quarterbacks" and broke down his game as follows:analyst Greg Biggins describes him as "one of the nation’s top dual-threat quarterbacks" and broke down his game as follows: 
 
The kid is well built and has a lot of snap on his passes. Naturally endowed at 6-1, 215 pounds, he has the build of a catcher and even the demeanor. . . The ball has great bounce off the hand of the thrower. He’s equally willing to pull from a straightforward drop or from within the pocket rolling to the right or left. Off-platform throws don’t pose a problem for he can make them with a great deal of ease thanks to his solid lower body. He is dangerous when a threat to run and when doing so looks like a fullback as opposed to a quarterback. He’s also very tough and will not hesitate to place himself in front of a blocker to make the catch of a football. He is very much a team player, loves to compete and has the build and skills of a Power 5 starter and a guaranteed national recruit.

Beierly and the Monarchs get things started Thursday in what is arguably the game of the year with title implications facing off against Corona Centennial, the No. 1 vs. No. 8 team in the SBLive preseason national rankings. It’ll be the SoCal juggernauts’ nearly-annual tradition of opening the season against each other – a quirk in an era where championship heavyweights are not prone towards scheduling non-League showdons – that’ll certainly enthral scouts and fans from across the nation. Superimposed to its standard importance, Thursday’s match-up shall also mark the game in which Mater Dei branding begins with new head coach Raul Lara.
