The season is over and we're back at it with the All-State Awards for 8A-1A to highlight these student-athletes accomplishments this season. It was a grueling 9 Week Regular Season and one heck of a road to IHSA State for those that made the playoffs. After reviewing the film of the Top 40 teams in the class of 1A, we're diving into the 1A All-State Offensive Edition. Without further ado, let's dive into it. <hr /> <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><em><strong>1st Team</strong></em></span> <em><strong>QB [player_tooltip player_id="155053" first="Easten" last="Schisler"] 5'10 150 22' Abingdon-Avon <a href="https://twitter.com/EastenSchisler">Twitter </a></strong></em> Mr. Schisler can get the ball out quickly when running RPOs and runs the option showcasing his mobility as his legs are a legit threat to the defense. When working in platform, he can get the ball off under pressure and make level three throws where he adds a touch on the deep ball. When scrambling, he weaves in and out of defenders while he changes his gears quickly. He can burst through the line of scrimmage and uses his lateral quickness to turn the corner where he isn't afraid to lower his shoulder. If the play breaks down, he can make something out of nothing by pulling the ball down to scramble to keep the chains moving. <em><strong>QB Carson Hoffard 6'2 175 23' Sesser-Valier</strong></em> Mr. Hoffard gets the ball off under pressure and makes level 3 throws adding a touch on the deep ball when working in platform. When working out of platform, he can escape pocket pressure and finds his man downfield to keep the chains moving. This goes hand in hand with his ability to extend plays as he keeps his eyes downfield once he's flushed out of the pocket and can pull the ball down to scramble if nothing is open downfield. He runs the option as his legs are a legit threat to the defense giving us a chance to see his ability to change gears quickly. <em><strong>RB [player_tooltip player_id="20869" first="Aidan" last="Laughery"] 5'11 186 22' Gibson City <a href="https://twitter.com/AidanLaughery">Twitter </a></strong></em> Mr. Laughery has the vision to find running lanes quickly between the tackles where he bursts through the line of scrimmage and has that next level gear to outrun pursuit angles as well as blow by 2nd level defenders. He uses his lateral quickness to turn the corner and finds cutback lanes showcasing his good change of direction as he plants his foot into the ground and goes quickly. This young man keeps his feet driving fighting for extra yards, once he's in open space he weaves in and out of defenders. In the return game, he gets vertical quickly to get into the endzone for touchdowns. <em><strong>RB [player_tooltip player_id="264087" first="Rahmareon" last="Roby"] 5'10 165 22' Lena Winslow <a href="https://twitter.com/mareyroby43">Twitter </a></strong></em> Mr. Roby has the vision to find running lanes quickly between the tackles as he burst through the line of scrimmage and has that next level gear to outrun pursuit angels as well as blow by 2nd level defenders.
