The junior was remarkably efficient through the air, completing 14 of 17 passes for 236 yards and five touchdowns. He was also lethal on the ground with 74 rushing yards on just six carries. A terrific athlete who can take what the defense gives him and execute in the biggest moments, Garvin has all the tools and confidence to lead the Estill Gators on a memorable journey this November. u003c/spanu003e","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_1_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_1_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_1_player_details_selected_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_1_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_1_player_details_player_name":"Jaiden Jones","_player_evaluations_1_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_1_player_details_graduating_class":"2023","_player_evaluations_1_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_1_player_details_height":"5'9u0022","_player_evaluations_1_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_1_player_details_position":"2408","_player_evaluations_1_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_1_player_details_school":"May River","_player_evaluations_1_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_1_player_details_club_team":"","_player_evaluations_1_player_details_club_team":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_1_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_1_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"u003cspan style=u0022font-weight: 400;u0022u003eThe sparkplug of a dynamite May River rushing attack, u003c/spanu003eu003cbu003eJaiden Jonesu003c/bu003eu003cspan style=u0022font-weight: 400;u0022u003e dominated on the ground Friday in a key region win over Colleton County. The senior and recently named Touchstone Energy Cooperatives bowl participant ran for 123 yards and three touchdowns on 14 carries while adding a tackle and sack on defense. His tenacious energy on the field has been instrumental for a May River team that has the talent and experience to surprise in the postseason.

Dobson excelled on the ground against an elite Woodland defense, rushing for 121 yards and two touchdowns on 26 carries. His quick feet and excellent balance have allowed him to zoom through open running lanes and make tacklers miss. An explosive back with the ability to make plays in the open space and thrive as a pass catcher, Dobson will need to produce in big spots for the Red Devils to make a run this postseason.u003c/spanu003e","_player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_4_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_4_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_4_player_details_selected_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_4_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_4_player_details_player_name":"Christian Tilton","_player_evaluations_4_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_4_player_details_graduating_class":"2024","_player_evaluations_4_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_4_player_details_height":"5'10u0022","_player_evaluations_4_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_4_player_details_position":"2409","_player_evaluations_4_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_4_player_details_school":"John Paul II","_player_evaluations_4_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_4_player_details_club_team":"","_player_evaluations_4_player_details_club_team":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_4_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_4_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations_4_evaluation":"u003cbu003eChristian Tiltonu003c/bu003eu003cspan style=u0022font-weight: 400;u0022u003e is becoming a budding star at John Paul II, and he came up aces again in a methodical win over Northwood Academy. The junior quarterback showed off his electric running again, racking up 185 yards and three scores on just eight carries while completing 3-of-5 passes for 92 additional yards. His speed to the outside is difficult to contain and has the power to shake off tacklers. If he can improve his ability to hit the deep pass and make good decisions under pressure, Tilton could be a force in the latter stages of his SCISA career.u003c/spanu003e","_player_evaluations_4_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_5_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_5_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_5_player_details_selected_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_5_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_5_player_details_player_name":"Tucker Tevepaugh","_player_evaluations_5_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_5_player_details_graduating_class":"2024","_player_evaluations_5_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_5_player_details_height":"5'10u0022","_player_evaluations_5_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_5_player_details_position":"2495","_player_evaluations_5_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_5_player_details_school":"Hilton Head Christian","_player_evaluations_5_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_5_player_details_club_team":"","_player_evaluations_5_player_details_club_team":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_5_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_5_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations_5_evaluation":"u003cspan style=u0022font-weight: 400;u0022u003eOne of the most underrated transfers to come to the Lowcountry area this year,u003c/spanu003eu003cbu003e Tucker Tevepaughu003c/bu003eu003cspan style=u0022font-weight: 400;u0022u003e has shined with his versatility for Hilton Head Christian Academy. Stepping into a big role on defense, Tevepaugh delivered a key play against Pee Dee on Friday, returning an interception for a score to bring his team back in the game. He doubles as a quality punter for the Eagles averaging 35.5 yards on two attempts. A phenomenal hustle player on defense with the ability to flip the field position with his legs, Tevepaugh will be an invaluable component for Ron Peduzzi's Eagles down the stretch.u003c/spanu003e","_player_evaluations_5_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":6,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"align":"","mode":"edit","anchor":"acf-block-66cd193556818"} /-->
