Brian’s Best – Robbinsdale Armstrong vs. Chanhassen

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>All I can ask is for a game to be in doubt for as long as possible. For the third time this year, a game I was at delivered. Chanhassen's comeback came up just short as a pass fell harmlessly to the ground in the end zone as the clock showed all zeros – giving Robbinsdale Armstrong the victory on their home field and winning this battle of undefeated teams 34-29. Here were the individual performances that stood out in another stand-out game.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"id":"block_633e69bcc6109","name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["105374"],"_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":"Although he wouldn't get the win, Woods was the most impressive player on the field. He should have been stopped on a sweep but made two guys miss to turn a loss into a short gain. Then, he took a kick return out to the forty. On a later run, he showed his speed to get to the corner. Woods showed his quickness when Armstrong got immediate penetration, but Woods spun out a tackle and turned a loss of three into a three yard gain. He is a threat in the passing game too. He caught a swing pass and got up the sidelines for a 25 yard touchdown. On a later run, he used his speed to the outside and then made a pair of cuts in the open field. On a designed run up the middle, Woods bounced to the outside for a first down. He bounced another run to the outside and got up the sidelines for a forty yard touchdown. He showed his speed around the corner one more time for a 37 yard touchdown run.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_1_player":["312934"],"_player_evaluations_1_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_1_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_1_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_1_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_1_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"Tucker cut outside and ran the opening kickoff back for a touchdown.
