Here are the top performers from those games as Iona Prep, St. Anthony's, Archbishop Stepinac, and Chaminade all move to the semifinals this weekend. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"id":"block_636a7fbadd5cc","name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["436227"],"_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":"With over 180 all purpose yards and 3TDs [player_tooltip player_id='436227' first='Colin' last='O'Garro'] was incredible in Iona Prep's first round playoff matchup against Cardinal Hayes. What is so impressive about O'Garro's night was that he was able to do it on only 9 touches. O'Garro just picked up his first offers from Colgate and Bucknell and after this performance could start to see more offers come in.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_1_player":["241877"],"_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='241877' first='Dante' last='Torres'] had an incredible game in a thrilling victory over Christ The King. The Senior threw for 369 yards and 5 touchdowns and added two more touchdowns on the ground. Torres was locked in all game completing 19 of 20 passes for an average of 19 yards per attempt. Not only is Torres playing with ridiculous efficiency but he is doing so while pushing the ball vertically down the field at an elite level. Torres was also able to do this without relying on his top two receivers; Korey Duff Jr and [player_tooltip player_id='231157' first='Ian' last='Strong'] who each had only one reception.","_player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_2_player":["405116"],"_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":"Tim Longo was the most reliable target all day for [player_tooltip player_id='241877' first='Dante' last='Torres']. Longo had a team high 8 receptions and 97 yards adding two scores. In such a high powered offense loaded with national recruits Longo has become the reliable guy in the slot who can really make plays for Torres. Longo's ability to get open is impressive and while he may not be known for huge plays his skillset is necessary to compliment the skillset of [player_tooltip player_id='241877' first='Dante' last='Torres'].","_player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_3_player":["237045"],"_player_evaluations_3_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_3_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_3_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_3_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_3_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"[player_tooltip player_id='237045' first='JT' last='Krivinskas'] with yet another elite performance. The leader of the Archbishop Stepinac defense; arguably the best in the state was incredible in a shutout win against Monsignor Farrell. 1o Tackles and 2 TFL in addition to stopping Monsignor Farrells patenting running attack is why Krivinskas was a top performer. The linebacker is consistently all over the field making plays and was one of the main reasons for the shutout. Krivinskas has one offer from Lock Haven but if he continues to perform like this through the playoffs he should be given some more oppurtunities.","_player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_4_player":["437244"],"_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":"Another huge performer from the Archbishop Stepinac defense [player_tooltip player_id='437244' first='Wayne' last='Coleman'] was integral in stopping the Monsignor Farrell run game. Raking up 7 tackles from the DT position is impressive. Coleman also made his presence known in the backfield with a sack and a couple hurries of [player_tooltip player_id='450891' first='Christian' last='Pinto']. Coleman has an offer from Central Connecticut State but has the athleticism that would garner more attention from a higher level.

Sheppard is pretty much always the best athlete on the field and it shows in his performances. The best part of this game? No turnovers and Sheppard spread the ball around to six different receivers. A huge matchup against a really good Archbishop Stepinac defense next week should bring out the best in Sheppard.","_player_evaluations_6_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_7_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_7_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_7_player_details_selected_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_7_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_7_player_details_player_name":"Benjamin Mann","_player_evaluations_7_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_7_player_details_graduating_class":"2023","_player_evaluations_7_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_7_player_details_height":"6'4u0022","_player_evaluations_7_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_7_player_details_position":"2496","_player_evaluations_7_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_7_player_details_school":"Chaminade","_player_evaluations_7_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_7_player_details_club_team":"","_player_evaluations_7_player_details_club_team":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_7_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_7_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations_7_evaluation":"11 Tackles, 3 TFL, 2 Sacks against a really good Kellenberg offense is one of the best performances of this past weekend.
