Michigan’s Semifinal Standouts pt.1

The semifinals have concluded and the state championships are set. It was a very surprising week of football as we had lots of blowouts, though this means we had many players who showed up and showed out. Let’s take a look at 4 athletes who made it look easy. <strong><span style="font-size: 14pt;">Detroit Martin Luther King QB [player_tooltip player_id="30316" first="Dante" last="Moore"]</span></strong> Moore made it look easy as he won his team the game without playing a single second-half snap. Totaling over 190 yards passing and 3 TD’s while going 7 for 8, he torched the Mason defense and left the game early to ensure his health for the state championship. Right after this game, Moore received an offer from the University of Cincinnati. Moore currently has dozens of division 1 offers as he’s one of the top quarterbacks in the nation. <span style="font-size: 14pt;"><strong>Rochester Adams DB <a href="https://www.hudl.com/profile/11569423/Christian-Schomer">Christian Schomer</a></strong></span> Schomer came out of nowhere and shut down the high-octane passing game of Grand Blanc. My postgame tweet exemplifies just how dominant he was https://twitter.com/alex_pallone/status/1462164710288236560 <span style="font-size: 14pt;"><strong>Grand Rapids Catholic Central WR/LB [player_tooltip player_id="30137" first="Nolan" last="Ziegler"]</strong></span> The Notre Dame commit impressed in his team’s 35-0 blowout against 12-1 Frankenmuth. As a receiver, it’s no secret that Ziegler has blazing speed and amazing hands and he showed it yesterday totaling 167 yards on 10 receptions. Defensively, he was a nightmare to deal with as he was able to cover multiple reads at once against the veer offense. The speed, block shedding, awareness, etc were just way too much for Frankenmuth. <strong><span style="font-size: 14pt;">Grand Blanc RB [player_tooltip player_id="30201" first="Elijah" last="Jackson-Anderson"] </span></strong> Jackson-Anderson came out of the gates red hot totaling over 180 yards in the first quarter. On Grand Blanc’s first drive, Jackson-Anderson had a sensational 93-yard touchdown rush with an 80+ yard touchdown off a screen the very next drive. He then scored another late touchdown, as he was responsible for every point Grand Blanc scored. Adams shut down the #1 running back in the state last week, so it’s even more impressive that Jackson-Anderson was able to do so much damage. https://twitter.com/alex_pallone/status/1462161182668824583
