His recent performance against Foley may have been one of his best games this season. While going 15/19, he generated 242 yards and four touchdowns- showing an extremely live arm and an ability to dissect a defense from the pocket. Mechanically Lacey is fundamentally sound and possesses a rapid-fire release that produces great velocity consistently. He also has elite arm strength and accuracy on the deep ball and dropped the ball in the bucket with ease. On intermediate and shorter throws, Lacey displayed solid enough athleticism to get out of the pocket and make accurate throws on the run without sacrificing accuracy and power. As the season continues, look for Lacey to be a significant factor in the 6A playoff picture.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/kjlacey7/status/1573814870906224647?s=20u0026t=-7V43Vve5K4y0V3ZYGc3xA","type":"rich","providerNameSlug":"twitter","responsive":true} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/kjlacey7/status/1573814870906224647?s=20&amp;t=-7V43Vve5K4y0V3ZYGc3xA </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Jordan Woolen&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"id":"block_63326e43ba19f","name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"Jordan Woolen ","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"2024","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"6'0u0022","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"2410","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"Hoover ","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_0_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"align":"","mode":"edit"} /--> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Woolen proved to be a bonafide No.1 option who can be a threat at all three levels. His performance against Mtn. Brook included a diverse skill set of a future impact player at the next level. Woolen is extremely fast and wisely uses this to his advantage. He can take the top off the defense, sell vertical and create space with routes, or operate as a dynamic run after the catch guy. Though speed is the foundation of his game Woolen has elite ball skills and is excellent at adjusting to different throws - giving him a bigger catch radius than his listed size. When the ball is in his hands, he's explosive with great change of direction, straight-line speed, and lateral quickness- making him an elite threat in space. With a broad skill set and elite speed, don't be surprised if Woolen can creep into power five offers.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/jordanwoolen6/status/1573687439360655360?s=20u0026t=-7V43Vve5K4y0V3ZYGc3xA","type":"rich","providerNameSlug":"twitter","responsive":true} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/jordanwoolen6/status/1573687439360655360?s=20&amp;t=-7V43Vve5K4y0V3ZYGc3xA </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"id":"block_63326eabba1a0","name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"Kamori Hollis ","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"2023","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"6'1u0022","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"2410","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"Pelham","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_0_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"align":"","mode":"edit"} /--> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Hollis is a receiver who will make something happen with the ball in his hands. With tremendous speed allows him to be a scoring threat and turn screens, slants, and drags into game-shifting plays. This straight-line speed, coupled with his ability to shift gears, enables him to maximize plays and get yardage most receivers cant to generate. When running routes against zone coverage, he did an excellent job of finding the soft spot and giving his QB a target to throw. Hollins also did a nice job of working the sidelines and keeping himself in bounds.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/k3_wun/status/1573805824639639552?s=20u0026t=-7V43Vve5K4y0V3ZYGc3xA","type":"rich","providerNameSlug":"twitter","responsive":true} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/k3_wun/status/1573805824639639552?s=20&amp;t=-7V43Vve5K4y0V3ZYGc3xA </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"id":"block_63326f95ba1a1","name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["433150"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"align":"","mode":"edit"} /--> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Though he isn't a household name, Kendrick did a great job making the plays that needed to be made. He showed he could make a variety of throws and can be effective in most situations. He has enough arm strength to stretch defenses vertically, Shows excellent ball placement and touch when working intermediate games, and can get to his check-downs when needed. Kendrick also has enough to be a legitimate threat with his legs. He did a great job keeping the defense honest on option plays, designed runs, and scrambles. With a natural wiggle to his game, he consistently made plays in the open field and picked up a lot of crucial first downs to continue drives.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/elijah_kendrick/status/1574101699006005248?s=20u0026t=4eaIms0tIBmg8ldkF-nM4A","type":"rich","providerNameSlug":"twitter","responsive":true} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/elijah_kendrick/status/1574101699006005248?s=20&amp;t=4eaIms0tIBmg8ldkF-nM4A </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"id":"block_63326fc6ba1a2","name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"Jalen Williams ","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"2024","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"5'10u0022","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"2408","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"Bessemer City ","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_0_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"align":"","mode":"edit"} /--> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Williams showed flashes of brilliance in his performance against Shades Valley. He showed efficiency as a workhorse and turned 167 yards and a touchdown in 19 carries. Williams consistently showed good vision and knew how to cut off blocks and find angles for yardage. This allowed him to get most of his yards before contact and constantly get to the second level of the defense. On longer runs, Williams ran with smooth and long strides, displayed solid breakaway speed, and was a scoring threat whenever he got into space.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/LiJman2/status/1574175078966763521?s=20u0026t=wc6Bk_bA48trmA6D4nGmDw","type":"rich","providerNameSlug":"twitter","responsive":true} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/LiJman2/status/1574175078966763521?s=20&amp;t=wc6Bk_bA48trmA6D4nGmDw </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed -->
