Show-Me State Stat-Monsters – Week 12

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Here is a look at some of the top performers who led their teams deep into the Missouri state high school football playoffs in week 12.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:separator --> <hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity" /> <!-- /wp:separator --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Marvin Burks | 6'2" 190 | RB/S | Cardinal Ritter</strong><br></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":440129,"sizeSlug":"full","linkDestination":"none"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/redzone/uploads/2022/09/Cardinal-Ritter-Practice-8-23-22-039.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-440129" /></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The super-talented Ole Miss commit Burks continued to be a monster on both sides of the ball for his Cardinal Ritter Lions at both running back and safety to help them advance with a win. Marvin ran the ball 12 times for 141 yards and 3 touchdowns, while also contributing 9 tackles as well. He never seems to leave the field and never seems to tire.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:separator --> <hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity" /> <!-- /wp:separator --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='103779' first='Jeremiyah' last='Love'] | 6'0" 190 | RB | CBC |</strong><br></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":527044,"sizeSlug":"full","linkDestination":"none"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/redzone/uploads/2022/11/CBC-vs-Liberty-North-116.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-527044" /></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The St. Louis speedster and Notre Dame commit Love seems to be firing on all cylinders in the playoffs for his Cadets.

Ross, who is being heavily recruited nationally, looks ready to have a huge senior season in 2023. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:separator --> <hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity" /> <!-- /wp:separator --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>OTHERS OF NOTE</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='172248' first='Sam' last='Van Dyne']</strong> QB 2023 Liberty North - 12 of 202 passing for 220 yards and 2 touchdowns.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='185373' first='Elijah' last='Leonard']</strong> QB 2024 Lee's Summit North - 6 of 9 passing for 105 yards and 2 touchdowns.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>David Leonard</strong> QB 2024 St. Mary's - 6 of 13 passing for 168 yards and 3 touchdowns.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='319626' first='Waylon' last='Anders'] </strong>QB 2025 Hannibal - 15 of 28 passing for 181 yards and 2 touchdowns.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Casen Murphy</strong> QB 2024 Park Hills Central - 15 of 29 passing for 189 yards - 19 carries for 128 yards.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>J<strong>amal Roberts </strong>RB 2023 St. Mary's - 20 carries for 214 yards</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='101700' first='Luke' last='Gall'] </strong>RB 2023 Carthage - 161 yards and 2 touchdowns</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Hunter Bailey</strong> RB 2024 Adrian - 21 carries for 111 yards and 3 touchdowns.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1112502' first='Jamarion' last='Smith']</strong> RB 2024 Portageville - 39 carries for 155 yards and 2 touchdowns.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='101687' first='Jamond' last='Mathis']</strong> RB 2023 Duchesne - 17 carries for 141 yards and a touchdown.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='177938' first='Isaiah' last='Mozee']</strong> WR 2025 Lee's Summit North - 3 catches for 84 yards and a touchdown.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='101698' first='Larenzo' last='Fenner']</strong> WR 2023 Ft.
