Week 2 Game Balls: York County and Musings From Around The State

<span style="font-weight: 400;">This week’s Game Balls in York County and around the state</span> <span style="font-weight: 400;">feature multiple positions and a 2023 prospect who can play on both sides of the ball and is lightning quick. One prospect in the Midlands has kept his interception streak going heading into Week 3. We also have commitment news.</span> <ul> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><b>2022 Nation Ford OL Marcus Romec </b><a href="https://twitter.com/marcus_romec"><b>(@marcus_romec)</b></a> <span style="font-weight: 400;">had a solid outing in a 28-21 win over River Bluff this past Friday. Romec is solid in using his hands in run blocks and can get to the second level. He can also help out with double teams.</span></li> </ul> <a href="https://www.hudl.com/video/3/11100242/6134e7c468903109889a7758"><span style="font-weight: 400;">HUDL link from this past Friday</span></a><b></b> <ul> <li aria-level="1"><b>2023 Northwestern RB Qua Howard </b><a href="https://twitter.com/qua4k"><b>(@qua4k)</b></a> <span style="font-weight: 400;">has shown in the first two games that he has a solid combo of speed and power, especially running in between the tackles. Once he turns the corner on outside zone runs, for instance, he can get you a quick five to ten yards. </span></li> </ul> <a href="http://www.hudl.com/v/2FjAxZ"><span style="font-weight: 400;">HUDL link</span></a> <ul> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><b>2023 Barnwell ATH [player_tooltip player_id="124455" first="Clay" last="Pender"] </b><a href="https://twitter.com/clay_pender"><b>(@clay_pender)</b></a> <span style="font-weight: 400;">had an active night last Friday in a 40-8 win over Saluda.

He lined up on the outside and let the ball fall right into his hands on a touchdown catch, but what was even more impressive was his ability to make plays in the slot, displaying his shiftiness in space. He earned an offer from Wheaton College on August 30.</span></li> </ul> <a href="https://www.hudl.com/video/3/11238798/6132efb4b3d302034895c1c9"><span style="font-weight: 400;">HUDL link from this past Friday</span></a> <ul> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><b>2025 Chapin ATH [player_tooltip player_id="141077" first="Clayton" last="Sondgeroth"] </b><a href="https://twitter.com/claytonsondy"><b>(@claytonsondy)</b></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> made an interception for the second straight week in the 56-28 win over Lugoff Elgin on Friday. <a href="https://prepredzone.com/2021/08/week-1-game-balls-york-county-and-around-the-state/">We noted that he made an interception last week.</a></span></li> </ul> <a href="https://www.hudl.com/video/3/13313278/613362120c5de30d242a4100"><span style="font-weight: 400;">HUDL link from this past Friday</span></a> <span style="font-weight: 400;">Commitment update - </span><b>2022 Ridge View QB [player_tooltip player_id="153263" first="Andre" last="Washington"] </b><a href="https://twitter.com/andrewash7ngton"><b>(@andrewash7ngton)</b></a> <span style="font-weight: 400;">committed to South Carolina State University on Saturday, September 4.</span> https://twitter.com/andrewash7ngton/status/1434175201282043907
