Height’s Football Scrimmage: Offensive Standouts

On August 20th, 2021 <strong>Heights</strong> high school played a scrimmage against <strong>Elsik</strong> at Elsik high school. Heights specialty this season is equipped with a depth in offense. Here are the offensive standouts: <strong>#5 Xavier Neal WR Senior</strong> Xavier Neal was definitely the fastest player on the field. Xavier had opportunities and open space to run the ball and it was almost impossible for anyone to catch up to him. He excelled on the short slant route. Height’s offensive coaches knew how to properly use Neal’s speed and get him the ball when the situation called for it. <strong>#2 Christian Logan WR Senior</strong> Height’s offensive MVP was obviously wide receiver Christian Logan. Although, Christian Logan had a shorter stature compared to everyone else he was definitely the biggest force on the field. From the very first play I could tell Christian was a player to keep an eye on. He’s fast, quick, aggressive, tenacious, and elusive. Christian Logan is definitely a player to look out for on both offense and defense. <strong>#3 Zachary Menefee RB Senior</strong> <span style="font-size: 1rem; -webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;">Height’s had a focus on the passing attack and therefore Zachary Menefee didn’t get to run the ball majority of the time. However, when Zachary did receive the ball he gave his team the necessary yards to give the advantage they needed. I wish I got more opportunities to see Zachary run with the ball to be able to give him a better evaluation and ranking. From the limited amount of time I viewed of Zachary I can be safe to say he will be a great offensive weapon for Heights. </span> <strong>#7 [player_tooltip player_id="60802" first="Jalen" last="Morrison"] QB Senior</strong> One of the things I noticed from [player_tooltip player_id="60802" first="Jalen" last="Morrison"] was that it took awhile for him to  get warmed up. He had a few bad passes and decision making errors early on but once he started getting into his groove, Jalen was able to throw accurate passes as well as utilize all his wide receivers to their best potential. I started to notice as the game went on Morrison was improving and he was making Xavier Neal, Christian Logan and the rest of his passing options better as well. <strong>#6 Allen Rainey QB, WR Junior</strong> Allen Rainey is the only player that is not a Senior on this list and that is for good reason. I saw Allen start as a wide receiver and then play as the second string quarterback. Allen was able to play both positions extremely well especially the quarterback position. Playing QB, Allen was able to properly communicate with his other teammates and made the necessary decisions and passes to move the ball and score points. I believe Allen has the potential to be a better quarterback than Jalen and a great starting quarterback his senior year next season.
