Eastern Alamance High v. Roxboro Person High Defensive Standouts

I stood on the sideline and watched a competitive game between two teams that went back and forth for four quarters.  It was good to be back on the sideline for the high school football season and scout college prospects.  I will give an overview of the offense highlights and defense highlights for the game:  Eastern Alamance High 21 – Roxboro Person High 12 &nbsp; <strong><u>Defense Highlights</u></strong> &nbsp; The majority of the first half was a defensive battle ending with Eastern Alamance taking a 7-0 lead.  Eastern Alamance D lead by <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="108954" first="Evan" last="Powell"], DB, 5’10” 180</strong> stopped Roxboro Person in the red zone several times.  Roxboro Person did not have much success running the ball in the first half.  Eastern Alamance defensive linemen were able to control the line scrimmage to their advantage.  <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="108954" first="Evan" last="Powell"]</strong> and defensive back teammates were able to knock down several passes.  Eastern Alamance D made several bruising tackles causing Roxboro Person to fumble the football in the first half.  Missed defensive assignments led to scores by Roxboro Person in the second half.  Roxboro Person defense held Eastern Alamance high – scoring offense to seven points in the first half.  <strong>Preston Carr, DL, 6’3” 245</strong> was the most dominant player on defense.  He is quick out of his stance, often unblocked to make stops for losses.  <strong>Preston Carr</strong> is difficult to block one-on-one.  Roxboro Person D made several bruising hits that caused Eastern Alamance to fumble the football and recovery by Roxboro Person, leading to scores.
