Being a running, receiving, and throwing threat, Louis will catch teams off guard with all of the positions he excels at. Rushing for 302 yards and 4 touchdowns, Louis complemented Joey well with his quickness and agility. And with 145 receiving yards and 2 passing touchdowns, you can never be too sure with what Louis will do when he is on the field.rnrnOn defense, Louis was one of those lockdown players that rarely let big plays go his direction. With 3 interceptions and 35 total tackles, Louis commanded an impressive secondary effort that prevented teams from scoring any big points on the season. Louis played a big part in Caldwell's success last season, and I expect an even bigger role in 2023.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6481f0817dabb"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/hudl {"name":"acf/hudl","data":{"embed_code":"u003ciframe src='https://www.hudl.com/embed/video/3/14632644/637a7ac30c53d30c6c065010' width='640' height='360' frameborder='0' allowfullscreenu003eu003c/iframeu003e","_embed_code":"field_62daf7995fd8c"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6481f0817db1c"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"[player_tooltip player_id='1021082' first='Joey' last='Marinello']","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"2024","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"null","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"2411","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"Caldwell","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_0_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"An all around phenom for Caldwell, [player_tooltip player_id='1021082' first='Joey' last='Marinello'] had one of the most impressive statistical seasons in the state in 2022.

Offensively, Joey ran all over the field with 1134 yards and 13 rushing touchdowns. You do not want to get in Joey's way when he picks up speed, he will steamroll the defender and keep on trucking.rnrnDefensively, Joey again made a huge impact with 108 total tackles, 3 interceptions, a forced fumble, and 1 sack.

He is a smart football player, and truly attacks the ball every opportunity he gets. With 60 tackles, 30 of those for a loss, 2 sacks, and 2 interceptions, you can see how big of an impact he had for his defensive unit.

With 32 tackles and 1 interception on the season, Jake always seemed to get to the ball just in time to break up the pass. Sometimes falling out of position,  Jake had the speed to catch back up with a receiver. I'm sure that is something he is working hard on this off season. Always finding a way to get in front of the ball, it will be interesting to see if Jake is also utilized on the offensive side of the ball in 2023.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6481f0817dd39"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/hudl {"name":"acf/hudl","data":{"embed_code":"u003ciframe src='https://www.hudl.com/embed/video/3/15893275/6392b9bc386e27091c35306d' width='640' height='360' frameborder='0' allowfullscreenu003eu003c/iframeu003e","_embed_code":"field_62daf7995fd8c"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6481f0817dd5e"} /-->

13-0 and an absolute dominant season; 2022 was everything you could hope for if you played, coached, or supported Caldwell. This was a team that wasn't truly challenged until deep into November. And while a lot of talent will move onto the next level, some of the stars still remain for Caldwell and will look to run it back in 2023. If there is any team in New Jersey that could go undefeated in back to back seasons, this is the one. And here are five players that could make that dream happen.
