STATESBORO ? Quarterback competition.

Lee Chapple and Antonio Henton probably didn?t know what the phrase meant coming out of their respective high schools.

Chapple started at quarterback for Greater Atlanta Christian since his sophomore season. Henton won the Peach County quarterbacking job midway through his junior year.

Differing collegiate tracks brought the two prep stars to Georgia Southern. Now, with Saturday?s season opener against Georgia in sight, they are neck and neck in competition to take the first snap.

?If we were at home, I?d have the stadium announcer introduce both of them as starters,? Hatcher said this week.

Four weeks of preseason practice haven?t settled anything. Chapple and Henton display spurts of good play, sometimes followed by head-scratching decisions.
