After a back-and-forth state championship thriller against Florence Christian, Spivey prevailed in overtime with a title-clinching rushing score. One of the most prolific and successful quarterbacks SCISA football has seen, Spivey developed to become a skilled and accurate passer with the confidence and poise to make timely plays. His quickness and strength on the ground added to his exceptional repertoire, and his leadership skills and commitment were noticeable especially in his senior year. Spivey will finish his Eagle career with an astounding 8,113 passing yards and 103 touchdown passes. u003c/spanu003ernrnu0026nbsp;","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_1_player":["202734"],"_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":"u003cspan style=u0022font-weight: 400u0022u003eA two-way star on the line for First Baptist, u003c/spanu003eu003cbu003eRoy Maybanku003c/bu003eu003cspan style=u0022font-weight: 400u0022u003e was an irreplaceable anchor for the Hurricanes in 2022. Maybank registered 55 tackles and a whopping eight sacks this season. A terrific athlete with the physicality to wrap up tackles and a commitment to excellence in all three phases, Maybank was the most valuable presence on the field this season for First Baptist. The edge rusher and center was dominant in swallowing up the run and pressuring quarterbacks and will be a major loss for the Hurricanes next season. u003c/spanu003e","_player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_2_player":["263158"],"_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":"u003cspan style=u0022font-weight: 400u0022u003eA veteran on the offensive line,u003c/spanu003eu003cbu003e Logan Locklearu003c/bu003eu003cspan style=u0022font-weight: 400u0022u003e finished his high school football career with an exceptional season for Cardinal Newman.

Helmadollar reads the snap especially well and displays a high motor to fly to the football and finish off tackles. He recorded 50 tackles, four sacks, and forced a fumble to go with an interception while also excelling on the offensive line. His veteran leadership and production were invaluable to the Falcons this fall. u003c/spanu003e","_player_evaluations_5_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":6,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-63c1b6c303399"} /-->
