Reeths-Puffer vs. Union Standout Athletes

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>One of the best games of the 2022 season happened last Friday Night between the Reeths-Puffer Rockets and the Grand Rapids Union Red Hawks. RP came away with the 35-29 OT victory, but not without major controversy in the end. At the end of the day, it was an amazing matchup showcasing two programs quickly rising in the ranks. Today, I'll be going over 6 athletes that stood out!<br></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"id":"block_63267f618c87f","name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["253315"],"_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":"Brody played great last night, and he's been on a tear all season.rnrn162 yards on 14 carries and 2TDs.
