He only had 174 total tackles last year! Aiden led all juniors in Indiana in total tackles last season. This young man is a ball-seeking missile with 100 solo tackles and 74 assists. With these statistics, Aiden earned All-Conference and 1A Junior All-State LB honors. All of these tackles came with physicality and violence. Aiden will make you pay for having the ball in your hands. He is a great mold for a middle linebacker at the next level with his height and frame. [player_tooltip player_id='541907' first='Aiden' last='Beadles'] is the real deal and will be determined to surpass his previous season with a tremendous senior season.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_1_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_1_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_1_player_details_selected_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_1_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_1_player_details_player_name":"[player_tooltip player_id='972103' first='Lamar' last='Moore']","_player_evaluations_1_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_1_player_details_graduating_class":"2024","_player_evaluations_1_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_1_player_details_height":"6'2u0022","_player_evaluations_1_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_1_player_details_position":"2411","_player_evaluations_1_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_1_player_details_school":"Greencastle","_player_evaluations_1_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_1_player_details_club_team":"","_player_evaluations_1_player_details_club_team":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_1_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_1_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"[player_tooltip player_id='972103' first='Lamar' last='Moore'] is a versatile two-way player for Greencastle. It is hard to choose what position he is better at, because he plays both very well. At running back, he had 122 carries, 741 yards, and 12 TDs. One word to describe his running style: resilient. Lamar does not give up on a run or even think about running out of bounds. He does a great job at hitting the right gaps and finding the open green grass. Lamar's speed and short-area quickness show up on defense as well. At linebacker, he had 34 solo tackles, 23 assists, 57 total tackles, 3 TFLs, and 6 sacks. When Lamar lines up at the line of scrimmage, he becomes an issue for opponents because of his speed off the ball. Expect [player_tooltip player_id='972103' first='Lamar' last='Moore'] to cause issues for opponents on both sides of the ball next season.","_player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_2_player":["825390"],"_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":"[player_tooltip player_id='825390' first='Tyson' last='Bridges'] is a diamond in the rough from Cloverdale. A two-way player who plays WR and DB. At WR, he is very reliable and shows to be a burner at times. Tyson is relentless to get open and make a big play. At DB, he has a good feel and awareness of the position. Tyson does a great job being disruptive when the ball comes his way and makes it difficult for his opponents. I like his ability to reattach quickly to receivers that beat him on a route and still come up with a pass breakup. Give [player_tooltip player_id='825390' first='Tyson' last='Bridges'] a watch and keep up with him this season!","_player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_3_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_3_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_3_player_details_selected_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_3_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_3_player_details_player_name":"Tim Harden","_player_evaluations_3_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_3_player_details_graduating_class":"2024","_player_evaluations_3_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_3_player_details_height":"5'10u0022","_player_evaluations_3_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_3_player_details_position":"2495","_player_evaluations_3_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_3_player_details_school":"Owen Valley","_player_evaluations_3_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_3_player_details_club_team":"","_player_evaluations_3_player_details_club_team":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_3_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_3_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"Tim Harden from Owen Valley is a must-watch player. This young man plays and contributes in all three phases of the game. Tim is a dangerous return man! Last season, he had 428 punt return yards and 3 punt return TDs. His speed and change of direction are the two attributes that make him such a great returner. These two attributes carry over to the defensive side of the ball. Tim's speed gives him the advantage to close the ground between him and his opponent in the open field quickly. Do not throw the ball in the middle of the field because Tim will be there to lay out his opponent.

When Gunnar blitzes, he looks like he was shot out of a cannon.
