In this article:

<p>Even though we had a crazy, high-scoring game between these two talented teams - we had some players standout on defense. Let's take a look at them: </p>

<p>Parkwood - DB Jordan Samuels - Samuels made an impressive interception in one on one coverage to stop a Providence drive in the 1st half. This was important because Parkwood had to commit a lot of resources to stop the Panther's running game, which left one on one coverage on the outside against the Providence wide receivers. </p>

<p>Providence - DB [player_tooltip player_id='374354' first='Logan' last='McIlveen'] - Mcilveen is a defensive leader on a team that lost a ton of experience to graduation last season. He was among the team leaders in tackles and passes defended during this game, showed well throughout the offseason in camps, and should be a player with some offers at some point this season. </p>

<p>Providence - FS Evan Kakavitsas - Evan had a huge interception late in the 1st half that gave Providence another possession in which [player_tooltip player_id='50901' first='Luke' last='Bailey'] scored a rushing touchdown - it's conceivable to believe without that play that Bailey may not have broken the state record for TD rushes in one game. </p>

<p>Providence - LB [player_tooltip player_id='126931' first='Billy' last='Wilkes'] - Younger brother of former Providence star Jack Wilkes, Billy had a ton of tackles against the Wolfpack and played fast and physical. A 2024 prospect, Billy will be one to keep an eye on as time goes on to see how he develops physically and on the field as well. </p>
