Scouting Report: Grand Island Northwest vs. Scottsbluff

<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>Overview:</strong></p> This Class B matchup featured two physical defenses that love to hit and offenses that can control the clock with balanced attacks. [player_tooltip player_id="147835" first="Sam" last="Hartman"], GI Northwest's QB, is one of the top gunslingers in the state and has continued to look dominant in his senior year. Weapons like Jensen, Harring, Richardson, and Douglass certainly make Hartman's job a little easier to do. However, pass-rush demon [player_tooltip player_id="147852" first="Chance" last="Symons"] was looking to hold Harman &amp; Co. at bay. A defensive front featuring Symons (Chance &amp; Cord), [player_tooltip player_id='227079' first='Jayce' last='Wilkinson'], [player_tooltip player_id="157650" first="Trevor" last="Schwartz"], [player_tooltip player_id='227081' first='Josiah' last='Mobley'], etc. looked to shut them down. Offensively, Scottsbluff boasted a junior dual-threat QB [player_tooltip player_id='227066' first='Braeden' last='Stull'], who was gashing the defense at will, and 2024 RB [player_tooltip player_id='245849' first='Sebastien' last='Boyle'] who was the workhorse back. This was one of the more exciting games I've had the privilege to watch this season. The two teams battled all night exchanging touchdowns, delivering bone-crushing tackles and showed lots and lots of guts. Two touchdown receptions from Harring, a rushing touchdown by Hartman (where he lowered the shoulder on a defender and laid him out), and clutch receptions from their playmakers helped the Vikings keep pace with Scottsbluff. In the end, the rushing attack of Boyle and Stull was too much for the Northwest defense to contain (especially with [player_tooltip player_id="163117" first="Aidan" last="Davies"] sidelined due to injury) and fell behind Boyle's 3 touchdown effort. <p style="text-align: center;"><strong>Final</strong><strong>: </strong>Scottsbluff 43 - GINW 36</p> &nbsp; <iframe src="//www.hudl.com/embed/video/2/725/614f6ec84207250efc5d44ce" width="640" height="360" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe> <iframe src="//www.hudl.com/embed/video/2/915/614f8cdc3deb11082c52f929" width="640" height="360" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe> <hr /> <img class="wp-image-210160 alignright" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/redzone/uploads/2021/10/SB-Boyle-e1633071261899-822x1024.jpg" alt="" width="374" height="466" /> &nbsp; <p style="text-align: center;"><strong>MVP: [player_tooltip player_id='245849' first='Sebastien' last='Boyle'] </strong>(Class of 2024 - Scottsbluff)</p> <p style="text-align: center;">RB | <a href="https://www.hudl.com/profile/15029872/Sebastien-Boyle" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Hudl</a></p> <p style="text-align: center;">6'0" 195 lbs</p> <ul> <li>He carried the ball 23 times for 169 yards and scored 3 touchdowns.</li> <li>I'll start by saying that Boyle is going to be a monster for Scottsbluff in the next couple of years.
