<span style="text-decoration: underline;"><em><span style="font-size: 14pt;"><strong>PRATTVILLE</strong></span></em></span>
<strong>[player_tooltip player_id="126051" first="Albert" last="Taggart"]- RB </strong>|5’10 190|
Throughout his career at Prattville, [player_tooltip player_id="126051" first="Albert" last="Taggart"] has consistently been one of the team’s most valuable and reliable offensive weapons. So far his senior season, Taggart has not let off the gas, as he continually terrorizes defenses in the 7A. Taggart has great speed, vision, elusiveness, and instincts that have always helped his offense, defensively, Central is going to have to heavily focus on him.
<strong>Kameron Shanks- WR </strong>|5’10 170|
Kameron Shanks has exploded this year for Prattville. Shanks possesses incredible 4.3-4.4 speed, hands, and route-running ability, opening up the Prattville passing game tremendously. Obviously, this has all been on display this year, as he regularly catches massive passes from quarterback <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="125942" first="EJ" last="Ousley"]</strong>. Shanks is a great deep threat option for his offense and is only going to get better.
<strong>Carmelo Smith- DT </strong>|6’3 287|
Carmello Smith is a large reason why the Prattville defense has performed as well as it has this year. Smith is massive, using his size and power to his advantage on the interior, constantly stuffing the run and gaining interior pressure in pass rush. Smith also has a great motor, he seemingly doesn’t feel much if any fatigue in the way that is able to make plays all around the field.
<span style="text-decoration: underline;"><em><strong><span style="font-size: 14pt;">CENTRAL</span></strong></em></span>
<strong>[player_tooltip player_id="125530" first="Tomarrion" last="Parker"]- DE </strong>|6’4 250|
Parker is one of the best defensive end prospects in the state and country, garnering national recruiting attention the last two seasons. Parker is an absolute game wrecker, using his natural pass-rush skills, power, speed, and size to penetrate into opposing offensive backfields. Parker is close to as good as it gets at defensive end and should be a large factor in Central’s defensive attack in this game.
<strong>[player_tooltip player_id="125428" first="JQ" last="Hardaway"]- CB </strong>|6’3 190|
[player_tooltip player_id="125428" first="JQ" last="Hardaway"] is a gigantic playmaker for this Central defense. Hardaway has terrific size, length, speed, hands, and ball skills that have turned him into a ball hawk no one should throw towards. Currently, Hardaway has grabbed 4 interceptions this season, tied for best in the state. Hardaway is a fantastic man-to-man corner that is going to be a massive contributor to Cincinnati’s defense next fall.
<strong>Karmello English- WR </strong>|6’0 185|
English is another nationally renowned prospect on this Central team, as he has received offers from just about everyone. English and quarterback <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="125943" first="Caleb" last="Nix"]</strong> have a great chemistry they have built, and it shows on the field. English is always open and will catch just about anything thrown his way, which has led to massive play after massive play from the high-powered Central offense. Prattville is definitely going to have to look out for English, cause if he gets an opportunity, he is going to take it.
