Names To Know In The 6A Championship

<p>Styles make fights, and this is lined up to be a classic between these two teams. With Saraland being one of the most explosive offenses in the state and Mountain Brook being an old-school/ rugged run-first offense, it'll be interesting to see who can come out on top. Here are some names you have to know before this heavy-weight matchup!</p>    <p>Lacey has been one the best QB's in the state despite being in the class of 2025. With an extremely live arm, Lacey's rapid fire release generates velocity regardless of arm angle, platform, or time allotted in the pocket. This, in addition to his ability to maintain accuracy, ball placement, and win with touch, enables him to be effective at all three levels of the field. Though he can pick apart defenses from the pocket, Lacey is fully adept at working out of moving pockets or tossing dimes on the run. With a near perfect season on the line it'll be interesting to see if Lacey can pull a rabit out his hat again in the biggest game of the year.</p>   <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/kjlacey7/status/1571538750492000260?s=20&t=eNA-VGafaohlKaK3tEdiqw </div></figure>    <p>Colvin an opportunistic QB who can make winning plays consistently. His propensity to take and make plays downfield forces the defense to account for every blade of grass and opens up everything underneath. With a strong arm, Colvin can place the ball wherever it's needed when working the deep region of the field. He can drop it in the bucket or thread the needle while pushing it through tight windows. Though he's primarily a pocket passer, Colvin shows excellent pocket mobility and navigational skills when avoiding the rush. This allows for even more opportunities for deep throws. However, for a gunslinger, Colvin is highly effective in the red zone- which is rare for QB's his age. His decisiveness and quick reading skills enable him to cash in frequently. Look for Colvin to step up to the challenge of facing an elite QB and show he can compete at a high level during Friday's matchup.</p>   <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/john_colvin_/status/1587505611746467845?s=20&t=eNA-VGafaohlKaK3tEdiqw </div></figure>    <p>Williams has an argument of being the best receiver in the state. As one of the rare players that is truly a threat to score whenever he touches the ball, Williams is an elite playmaker who can change the course of the game in one snap. With track star speed, top-tier quick twitch/ burst, and the natural elusiveness, it's no wonder why whenever a play is needed, Williams's number is called. He can return kicks to the house, take the top off defenses, turn screens into highlight reel touchdowns, and take a jet sweep into a house call if he sees daylight. As the ultimate offensive chess piece, it'll be interesting to see how he impacts Friday's game.</p>   <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/Ryanwms1/status/1583882243998507008?s=20&t=eNA-VGafaohlKaK3tEdiqw </div></figure>    <p>Though the state is filled with elite running backs, Gamble is still among one of the better running backs in the state and has an opportunity to prove it on the biggest stage come Friday afternoon. As one of the most elusive backs in the state, Gamble shows excellent acceleration and burst when attacking gaps in the defense and enough breakaway speed to finish off plays in the endzone. His exceptional vision and anticipation for gaps, cut-back lanes, and openings make him a constant threat to gain yardage even if the defense stops the initial play. With this high-level skill of toting the rock, Gamble has forced defenses to stack the box and opened up the play-action pass down the field- making him a valuable asset to the offense and a key factor in Friday's matchup.</p>   <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/_colegamble/status/1582916531545333760?s=20&t=eNA-VGafaohlKaK3tEdiqw </div></figure>   <h2>Mountain Brook's Offensive Line </h2>   <p>I would be remised if I didn't mention the team's strongest unit as the biggest X-Factor in the game of the year. The cohesion, grit, effort, and physical size of the unit make them one of the best collectives in the state. The beauty of Mountain Brook's offensive line is that they're strong enough to move guys off the spot with traditional man-man power blocking, which was the biggest factor in Cole Gambel's two thousand-yard seasons. However, this group of big fellas can move and work laterally to work zone blocking schemes and create mismatches against more dominant defenders at the line of scrimmage.</p>
