11AA Players to watch in the Second Round

[player_tooltip player_id='273693' first='Karson' last='Carda'] - RB, Aberdeen Central   Carda has been the bell cow for his team and I do not see that stopping any time soon with the playoffs in full swing. Aberdeen has a very run-heavy offense that Carda has now seemed to thrive, where he can go off for big runs where can be an elite power back who can plow over anyone. He has shown to be on another level these last few weeks and he is showing that he can put the team on his back when he needs and now he is in a position to do it again. They will be facing a tough team in Tea that has a tough run defense that can stop even the best of runners and I think Carda will be more than up to the challenge to face it, watch for him to fill up the stat sheet this week.     Jackson Smythe - MLB, Tea Area   Smythe has been a great piece for his defense all year and with the season on the line, I think he will step up to counite to the role of the field general that he has shown to be the entire year, He can take control of an entire defense, in this case, his, by leading them with his energy and big hits that can shift the monument of any game into their favor. Smythe can make some great reads where he can fill up any of the gaps to not allow any holes to form and can also point out where his teammates can adjust to make even more defensive stops overall. Smythe is someone that brings so much to his team that goes beyond his ability on the defensive side of the ball and can truly lead his defense, hoping for a win.     [player_tooltip player_id='160937' first='Griffen' last='Schnider'] - DE/G, Tea Area   Schnider has been playing great the entire year and has been a multifaceted settle of a defensive frontman who can rush the passer and also be an elite run stuffer. The main thing that Schnider does well is stifling the running game of any team that he faces, and making any runner regret coming up his zone. He uses some great moves to fill gaps and can shift anywhere on the line to make his usefulness two-fold, being able to fit any defensive tackle role. On the offensive side of the ball, he is a great interior run blocker who can allow for gaps to form, he can allow for any of his running backs that he has on his team, and have them play great. Schnider will be needed for his team to win and I see him as a key piece if his team wants to win.     [player_tooltip player_id='56566' first='Rugby' last='Ryken'] - QB, Yankton   Ryken and the bucks will be looking to make a big impact in a tough game and that will be needed out of their QB who will be needed to take down the monster in Pierre. It will be no easy task to try and take down the tough foe in the Governers with their offensive output that they can put out on any given night and Ryken will need to match it blow for blow. Ryken has some serious skills at the QB position, he is a truly dual-threat QB who can show off his legs and has a big arm that he can launch down the field and link up with some of his wideouts. He has some great IQ and a just great ability to read the field, making him one of the best QBs that South Dakota has, and Ryken will need to play at a high to try and secure the win.     [player_tooltip player_id='56547' first='Tyler' last='Sohler'] - WR, Yankton   Sohler is one of the more underrated wideouts that South Dakota has, and I think with the lights shining the brightest, he will show up when it matters most. He has some of the best route-running abilities and can easily be seen as some of the best that South Dakota has to offer, while his stats might not pop off the page like others, he has some of the highest potential for college and might be one the highest ceiling prospects. With this in mind, I see making some big noise for his team and he will be needed to try and secure the victory against a very tough team, and Sohler will be seen as the main target, and with his elite talents as a wideout, I think we could see an all-out performance from him in this upcoming game.     [player_tooltip player_id='289598' first='Jett' last='Zabel'] - TE, Pierre   Zabel will the X-Factor for his team and if they want to win, I think we will need to see him with a big game for Pierre to move onto the next round. Pierre has an elite receiving core that has some top wideouts and Zabel has shown time and time again to be a safety blanket if a play breaks down, Zabel is there to make a play and secure a catch. He is a natural playmaker who can make something out of nothing, and he is a threat anywhere on the field. For Pierre to make the impact that they need, Zabel will need to make some big plays and will be seen as a target to help his team get the win.
