Team Preview: Maiden Looking for Revenge in 2022

I have begun team previews of some of the top teams in the Raleigh/Durham region.&nbsp; There are a lot of talented players throughout the region.&nbsp; The previews will highlight the recruits on the teams featured.&nbsp; A high level of competition is expected as the high school season starts in late August. <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="355008" first="Wesley" last="Thompson"] (6'4" 185, QB)</strong> will direct a high-powered offensive unit in the Fall.&nbsp; He finished the season at Ashe County HS with 1,939 passing yards and 16 passing TDs.&nbsp; Wesley's primary target of his passes, <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="44984" first="Chris" last="Culliver"] (6'2" 175, WR)</strong> will be difficult to defend in man-coverage.&nbsp; <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="355011" first="Alec" last="Hall"] (6'2" 195, WR) and [player_tooltip player_id="355012" first="Jacob" last="Sigmon"] (5'10" 165, WR)</strong>, both are good route runners who will get their shares of catches.) <strong><span style="font-size: 1rem;">Daniel Spring (6'0" 245, OL), [player_tooltip player_id="355032" first="Jackson" last="Hensley"] (6'4" 220, OL), and [player_tooltip player_id="355033" first="Quinn" last="Rembert"] (6'2" 230, OL) </span></strong><span style="font-size: 1rem;">are all technique-sound offensive linemen who use upper body strength to control defenders while opening lanes for the running backs and protecting the quarterback.&nbsp; <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="355028" first="Ben" last="Gibbs"] (5'9" 165, RB)</strong> displayed good footwork and speed to accelerate past defenders in the open field to gain yardage.</span> <strong>Daniel Spring (6'0" 245, DL) and [player_tooltip player_id="355032" first="Jackson" last="Hensley"] (6'4" 220, DL)</strong> both use their upper body strength and good technique to control blockers and make stops.&nbsp; Daniel and Jackson will anchor the defensive line.&nbsp; <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="355011" first="Alec" last="Hall"] (6'2" 195, LB) and [player_tooltip player_id="355033" first="Quinn" last="Rembert"] (6'2" 230, LB)</strong> both run well in the open field and displayed good lateral movement.&nbsp; Alec and Quinn will anchor the second level of defense.&nbsp; <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="355028" first="Ben" last="Gibbs"] (5'9" 165, DB) and [player_tooltip player_id="355012" first="Jacob" last="Sigmon"] (5'10" 165, DB)</strong> both are technique-sound defensive backs with good speed in the open field.&nbsp; Ben and Jacob make it difficult for receivers to complete catches.&nbsp; Maiden High School is expected to defend its conference crown and compete for a state crown.
