He finished with four passing touchdowns and 301 passing yards. Some of his touchdowns consisted of him threading the needle from 20 yards out and him throwing a 45 yard bomb. He played with poise in the pocket, never showing that he was fazed, as well as passion. Not only did he get it done through the air, but on the ground as well. There were a few times that was able to break the edge and get a step on the defense to gain 5-8 yards. On one play, the pocket broke and so he scrambled and barely gained the six yards needed to pick up the first down. He reflected good accuracy and solid power with his passes, as well as the ability to occasionally scramble. His prolific play in this game resulted in his team giving Coweta their first loss of the season, while he was playing on the road.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_1_player":["51871"],"_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='51871' first='Mike' last='Taffe'] had a great game, getting it done on the ground and through the air. On the ground, he constantly fought through defenders to gain extra yards, as well as showing elusiveness by juking, stiff arming, or side-stepping defenders. He ended the game with 24 carries for 104 yards. Coweta made him earn every yard too, as they have several ranked defensive players. If he can eclipse 100 yards on the ground against Coweta, I believe that he can do it against any team in 5A in the state of Oklahoma. He showed why he is the #4 ranked running back in the state. Not only did he have a great game on the ground, he contributed with a 40 yard receiving touchdown, as well. He was flat out impressive and a treat to watch.","_player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_2_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_2_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_2_player_details_selected_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_2_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_2_player_details_player_name":"Will Kilgallon","_player_evaluations_2_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_2_player_details_graduating_class":"2024","_player_evaluations_2_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_2_player_details_height":"null","_player_evaluations_2_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_2_player_details_position":"2441","_player_evaluations_2_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_2_player_details_school":"Bishop McGuinness","_player_evaluations_2_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_2_player_details_club_team":"","_player_evaluations_2_player_details_club_team":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_2_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_2_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"Will Kilgallon was reliable and efficient for the Irish on extra point attempts.

He only completed 12 of 30 passes, but his athleticism is something that shows how versatile he can be. He is someone that can translate to wide receiver or running back, as well as playing quarterback.

He broke away with his speed for 16 yards and then again with 10 yards. On special teams, he showed off his breakaway speed, by having a burst out of the endzone for a quick 30 yards. He has a quick first step that makes him hard to cover, to go along with some craftiness.
