On defense, he was displaying great coverage and coming up with good tackles on a regular basis. He had one play that he had a great hard hit on the offensive player and he came up with several other tackles. This was just the icing on the cake compared to  what he did on the offensive side of the ball. He showed speed and elusiveness, time and time again. There were multiple times that he juked out two or three defenders on a single play. My favorite play  came with 3:37 left, where he ran the ball up the middle of the field, avoiding two defenders and then juking out a third defender. This was not all he did, as he showed off athleticism by hurdling a defender as the defender went for the tackle. There were several times that he gained 10,20,30, or even 50 yards on a play. A big thing that helped with this is he excellent field vision. He finished the game with 23 carries for 141 yards. This is a player with a high engine that will produce on ends of the field. He does not appear to be the biggest guy, but what he lacks in size, he makes up with heart.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_1_player":["38793"],"_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":"[player_tooltip player_id='38793' first='Chaz' last='Bradley'] was impressive throughout the game tonight. On the opening kickoff, he returned in for a touchdown. The touchdown did not count, because of a penalty that he teammate drew. He made an impact quite a bit in the short passing game, but his biggest impact came on the defensive side of the ball. As the other team drove down the field, his team found themselves clinging to a 20-14 lead. On 3rd and Goal from about the five yard line, Collinsville tried to run a trick play. Bradley was not having any of it, as he intercepted the ball and returned it 98 yards for a pick-six to seal the game. He followed that up by coming up with another interception with about four seconds left. There was a different play earlier in the game that he came up with a big swat. He played great coverage all game. His impacted was massive in this game, as his team pulled off the win on the road over Collinsville, who was 9-1 going into the season.","_player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_2_player":["446439"],"_player_evaluations_2_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_2_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_2_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_2_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_2_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"[player_tooltip player_id='446439' first='Kaden' last='Rush'] had a great game on the ground, especially for a quarterback. He executed the mid range game well, passing the ball 10-15 yards down field on a regular basis. This helped open up the run game a little bit. There was one play that he ran a QB Sweep for around 50 yards, showing off good field vision and juke moves. Multiple times, they ran QB Draw's for him, to where several times he would use an explosive quick first step to gain 10-12 yards. He had multiple touchdowns in this game, in which one of them was because of a QB Iso from two yards out. Another one of his touchdowns was him hitting his open receiver from five yards out. He had a ton of impressive plays throughout the game, but I would say that the most impressive passing ones are that he fired a 40 yard bomb down the field that hit his wide receiver in the hands, but the receiver dropped it. Another one is that he took a low snap and immediately fired a 17 yard bullet to his receiver. In the closing minutes of the game, he was not fazed by the pressure of trying to lead a game-winning drive. He was cool, calm, and collected and he moved his team down the field. He did throw an interception from five yards out that would have possibly given his team the lead, but that was a great play on the defender's part, not necessarily his fault.","_player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_3_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_3_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_3_player_details_selected_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_3_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_3_player_details_player_name":"Eli Chatman","_player_evaluations_3_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_3_player_details_graduating_class":"2024","_player_evaluations_3_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_3_player_details_height":"null","_player_evaluations_3_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_3_player_details_position":"2410","_player_evaluations_3_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_3_player_details_school":"McAlester","_player_evaluations_3_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_3_player_details_club_team":"","_player_evaluations_3_player_details_club_team":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_3_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_3_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"Eli Chatman contributed on both ends of the field, but mainly on the defensive end. He came up with a nice interception in the endzone. Throughout the game, he had a few good tackles and showed the ability to break blocks. There was one play in which he broke through the blocker, read the screen pass, and tackled the catcher as he caught the ball. On the offensive side, he caught the ball and fought through the defenders for about a 10-yard gain.","_player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_4_player":["406182"],"_player_evaluations_4_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_4_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_4_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_4_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_4_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_4_evaluation":"[player_tooltip player_id='406182' first='Ethan' last='Watkins'] made a big impact on both sides of the ball.

There was another play to where he took the handoff on 4th and 7, in which he gained seven yards for a touchdown. He did that by breaking the edge and fighting through two defenders. On the defensive side of the ball, he came up with big plays, too. The most notable thing he did was having a pick-6. He has speed and power, in which he showed this by delivering a massive hit on 3rd and goal from the one-yard line. Great production on both ends of the field to help his team win.","_player_evaluations_4_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":5,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit"} /-->
