Boerst has the speed and acceleration to get to the outside in a hurry and create big gains on toss plays. His running early in the game really set the tone that Bedford was going to run the football well all night. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>#88 Thomas Huss | TE/DE | 2023</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The big play touchdown catch was crucial for Bedford. Even though Farmington did a good job of coming back and making this game interesting you had the feeling that with the running game going and Huss as a threat through the air a comeback win would be tough. Huss did a good job defensively at the defensive end position. He does well against the run and has shown great ability to rush the passer. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Farmington Players That Stood Out</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>#4 Cameron Pettaway | RB | 2024</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Pettaway has legit breakaway speed and that was on full display Friday night. He does a great job of running between tackles and picking up tough yardage. I love how he quickly gets open and can create big plays in the open field. Pettaway kept the Bedford defense on their toes all night and was a guy they definitely needed to be aware of. Pettaway is only a junior and will be a key returner for the Farmington team next season. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>#1 [player_tooltip player_id='411888' first='Dominic' last='Pesci'] | QB | 2023</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Pesci has key physical traits that you look for in a quarterback. He stands at 6-6, 215 lbs, and has a solid muscular build. He throws a beautiful deep ball and is not afraid to sit in the pocket and take a hit. I thought he played very composed in this game and did not panic when his team fell behind early. He is a guy who has gained college attention and was recently offered by Lawrence Technical University which he made public via <a href="https://twitter.com/pesci_dominic/status/1581105885471944704?s=20&amp;t=Bx_ULaxP9Gcg6yyqTSgSFw">Twitter</a>.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
