Class B Team MVPs: B-2

Every Class B team’s MVP. In this article, we will look at a gritty B-2 district featuring the reigning Class B champion and storied Skutt Catholic. Ralston, Mount Michael, and Elkhorn North have tons of great players who could find themselves on college rosters after their prep careers. <hr /> <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Elkhorn:</strong></span> RB [player_tooltip player_id="193815" first="Henry" last="Kroger"] - 2022 5’10" 190 lbs | <a href="https://www.hudl.com/profile/13133863/Henry-Hank-Kroger" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Hudl</a> If I had to choose a word to describe the Elkhorn Antlers, it would be: punishing. Kroger is the perfect embodiment of this with his playing style. Kroger is a bruising running back that makes you earn your tackles on him.  He is tough, smart, shifty, and does not get tired. Along with being tough to bring down, Kroger is just as hard to catch. He can take any play to the house with his breakaway speed. <iframe src="//www.hudl.com/embed/video/3/13133863/616ec2e9386e090ef4076414" width="640" height="360" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe> <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Elkhorn North:</strong></span> QB Easton Mains - 2022 6’1" 180 lbs | <a href="https://www.hudl.com/profile/14356756/Easton-Mains">Hudl</a> Mains is a dangerous dual-threat QB for Elkhorn North. Mains has accounted for over 500 passing yards and 1,100 yards on the ground. He has kept defenses guessing which way Mains is going to make them pay. He has excellent vision and can find open rushing lanes. When he hits open field, he is tough to chase down. <iframe src="//www.hudl.com/embed/video/3/14356756/6158f3b623479f023cce8ead" width="640" height="360" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe> <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Mount Michael Benedictine:</strong></span> LB/OL - [player_tooltip player_id="193808" first="Raoul" last="Djidjoho"] - 2022 6’1" - 215 lbs | <a href="https://www.hudl.com/profile/12875162/Raoul-Djidjoho" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Hudl</a> Raoul is an underrated LB prospect who has consistently racked up tackles and stops for the Benedictine defense. He can sneak past linemen and make tackles behind the line of scrimmage (7.5 TFLs). Djidjoho could be a very great pickup for collegiate coaches. <iframe src="//www.hudl.com/embed/video/2/1275/5f908c0a4206360a441aaf7b" width="640" height="360" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe> <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Omaha Skutt Catholic:</strong></span> TE/DE [player_tooltip player_id="216517" first="Brandt" last="Pickrell"] - 2023 6’3" 225 lbs | <a href="https://www.hudl.com/profile/16515586/Brandt-Pickrell" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Hudl</a> Pickrell is a player that the Sky Hawks should be excited for next year. Pickrell is a big-bodied player that creates mismatches on both sides of the ball. As a TE, his height and size give him the advantage over DBs and less-athletic LBs. He plays physically and makes it hard for players to jam him at the line or throw him off his routes. He is an emerging defensive end that can play both the run and rush the passer on defense. He has 5 sacks on the year, and it seems he is only starting to scratch the surface of his pass rush talents. <iframe src="//www.hudl.com/embed/video/3/16515586/613e9ac8688ed70910e40efb" width="640" height="360" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe> <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Ralston:</strong></span> RB [player_tooltip player_id="147819" first="Rashad" last="Madden"] - 2022 5’8" 175 lbs | <a href="https://www.hudl.com/profile/11652310/Rashad-Madden" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Hudl</a> Madden continues to put up Madden-like numbers on the field. He is fresh off a Class B single-game record with 412 yards and 4 rushing touchdowns. Madden had previously had 224,184, 216-yard efforts in the 3 games prior. Madden has been a pivotal part of Ralston’s offense and keeps and grinds out defenses. With defenses having to pay extra attention to Madden, he opens the offense for other players. <iframe src="//www.hudl.com/embed/video/3/11652310/615da4ca5797a2061863ee98" width="640" height="360" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe>
