Summer 7v7: Brother Martin, Edna Karr, Hahnville, McDonogh 35

Cross-river rivals Destrehan and Hahnville welcomed several New Orleans area high schools to St. Charles Parish each Wednesday during June for summer 7-on-7 action. The latter hosted Brother Martin, Edna Karr and McDonogh 35 in the fourth week of action. Here are a half dozen of the most notable performances, including at least one from each team. <strong>Donovan Friloux — 5-11, 165 QB — Hahnville (2023)</strong> [player_tooltip player_id="136510" first="Troy" last="Kendrick"] was back in the mix this past week for the Tigers, and the boost for Friloux and the offense with that rising senior on one side and tall, talented rising junior [player_tooltip player_id="138444" first="Dakota" last="Williams"] on the other was noticeable. Hahnville moved the ball effectively in each contest with the 2023 quarterback able to spread targets around between the two Division-I talents and many of his other weapons running free underneath and across the field. <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="136634" first="Corey" last="Lambert"] Jr. — 6-1, 195 DB — Brother Martin (2022)</strong> The rising senior may end up growing into more of an outside linebacker or hybrid role at the next level, based on some of his recent college visits, but his speed and instincts at his size currently make him one of the state’s best ball-hawking safeties patrolling the back end of the Crusaders’ defense and snatching interceptions, as he did in this outing. <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="138282" first="Torey" last="Lambert"] — 6-0, 190 ATH —  Brother Martin (2023)</strong> The younger Lambert brother is transitioning more into his more likely long-term role at running back after working more heavily at cornerback as a sophomore this fall. And the smooth, speedy athlete looked great doing so this past Wednesday as a clear weapon out of the backfield comfortably and surely catching passes and then exploding upfield for big yards after the reception even in the touch setting. <strong>Tyrus Morris — 5-10, 165 WR — McDonogh 35 (2023)</strong> Another good week from the Roneagles’ standout pass-catcher. The previous week, Morris garnered his biggest reaction from the sideline on a jump-ball to the end zone he out-positioned and out-battled a defensive back to haul in for a score. This time around, the big moment came on a juke and quick cut after a shorter catch that shook the cornerback off his foot and onto the turf. <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="138319" first="Michael" last="Richard"] — 5-11, 165 DB — Edna Karr (2023)</strong> The rising junior hasn’t grabbed as many headlines or offers as teammate and classmate [player_tooltip player_id="138313" first="Ryan" last="Robinson"] Jr. — or their friend [player_tooltip player_id="139491" first="Wallace" last="Foster"] IV the grade behind them at rival Warren Easton — but he’s a reliable, intelligent defensive back (likely a nickel), who plays in position and tends to make the most of opportunities to capitalize on quarterback mistakes as he did on one early interception and came maybe just one more step from doing so on another. <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="138488" first="AJ" last="Samuel"] — 6-0, 170 QB — Edna Karr (2023)</strong> With [player_tooltip player_id="63553" first="Destyn" last="Hill"] signed off to Florida State and [player_tooltip player_id="128242" first="Aaron" last="Anderson"] resting the week, the rising junior quarterback was still able to spread the ball around to his other receivers and keep drives moving. And perhaps just as impressive was his work with his backup when the Cougars spent most of the final matchup trying to provide some experience. Samuel looked like a coach on the field following the group and helping position the passer, the running back and their receivers.
