<li>[player_tooltip player_id='110153' first='Chris' last='Arviso'] II, QB, Mountain Pointe <br><br>Mountain Pointe matches up against a very high flying offense in Mountain Ridge, who is averaging over 30 points a game. Completing over 60% of his throws and going for 2,100 yard, Arviso needs to control the game and score points and keep Mountain Ridge off the field. Riding a 4 game win streak, Mountain Pointe can turn some heads.<br><br><!-- wp:list -->

<li>[player_tooltip player_id='110146' first='Aiden' last='Herring'], Defensive End, Perry <br><br>Perry coming into the playoffs at a #15 seed have to travel to Highland, who many think got the short end of the stick in the rankings. Now, the Hawks are angry and looking to roll anyone in their way. With a high end rushing attack, Herring needs to play the best game of this season in order for Perry to stop them. 8 sacks on the year, Highland will be game planning for this game wrecker. <br></li>

<li>[player_tooltip player_id='42949' first='Duce' last='Robinson'], Tight End, Perry<br><br>Pinnacle was written in the Open Playoffs basically all year, until they weren't. They went on a losing streak and now find themselves #4 in the 6A playoffs. This game has to be a [player_tooltip player_id='42949' first='Duce' last='Robinson'] game. The best player in the state and one of the best in the country, they need to rely heavily on Robinson and get him going, and the entire offense will open up after that. </li>
