The Portland Red Raiders head into the game 5-0 with a massive win over DeWitt in week 2. These are a few of the key players from both sides to watch for in this highly anticipated contest.
Bo Poljan Bo Poljan 6'3" | 240 lbs | DL Lansing Catholic | 2022 State MI | DL | Lansing Catholic | Hudl
Poljan is as disruptive as they come in high school football. For a defensive lineman, that is exactly what you want to be known as. The Hudl clip above against Eaton Rapids shows him quickly getting off the block and getting to the quarterback for the sack. The next clip is Poljan showing his strength to take defenders to the ground.
Joey Baker | QB | Lansing Catholic | Hudl
Baker has already thrown for 1,170 yards passing and 12 passing touchdowns through the first five games this season. Baker looks very calm in the pocket. He does a good job of not panicking when faces pressuring in the pocket. Joey Baker throws the football accurately and is able to hit guys in stride. Look for a big-time throw from him Friday night.
Caden Galey | RB/CB | Portland | Hudl
Galey will definitely be a player to watch for Portland. Galey is a terrific athlete who has very fluid hips at the cornerback position. Galey showed off his ability to make open-field tackles with ease against Ionia. Caden Galey has great speed to break the long game-changing runs at the running back position. Galey would love to make more plays in this game and keep his team undefeated.
Haden Getchell | QB | Portland | Hudl
Getchell will be leading offense Friday night for Portland. Getchell is a dual-threat quarterback who really shined in the win over Ionia. Getchell was 5 out of 8 passing for 76 yards and a touchdown pass. He also carried the ball 5 times for 80 yards and a rushing touchdown. Getchell played good football last year for Portland as a Junior. He is so good at carrying out his fakes and freezing defenders. Getchell’s command of the offense will be critical for Portland to move the football against a tough Lansing Catholic defense.
Alex Watters Alex Watters 6'0" | 185 lbs | WR Lansing Catholic | 2022 MI | WR | Lansing Catholic | Hudl
Alex Watters Alex Watters 6'0" | 185 lbs | WR Lansing Catholic | 2022 MI is so good at getting yards after the catch at the wide receiver position. On-screen passes, he is so good at letting his blocks get set up and then finding the space to run. Watters rarely ever lets the first guy bring him down. Baker and Watters seem to have a tremendous connection. Watters seems to have a good feel for the game and is good at getting open. Watters will likely be covered by Caden Galey in the game. This will be an incredible matchup to watch and is a big reason high school football games are so fun to watch. Two great players competing against one another for 4 quarters.
