Scouting Report: Ankeny vs. Centennial

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Ankeny, Iowa –&nbsp;</strong>This rivalry dates back to 2013 and is perhaps one of the best in the state. The visiting Hawks came all the way back to win an overtime thriller against the Jaguars. While the Jaguars control the overall record, the Hawks are starting to narrow down that gap with another win over their crosstown rival. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Here are some of the names that were impressive from Friday: </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["401669"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":["override_image"],"_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":970329,"_player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":"field_62f141137ead9","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"Larmie may only be a sophomore but the skillset he showed on friday was veteran like. He is quick in his cuts, shows good burst and knows how to use patience when reading his blocks.  Rushing for 122 yards he was a huge reason why the Hawks were successful late in the game. Larmie rushed and caught a touchdown both at key times within the game. The young back shows a lot of potential and should continue to be a huge impact for the Hawks this season.rnrnu003ca href=u0022https://www.hudl.com/profile/18039868/daniel-larmieu0022u003ehttps://www.hudl.com/profile/18039868/daniel-larmieu003c/au003e","_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":971136,"_player_evaluations_1_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_1_player_details_player_name":"Connor Kayser","_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":"6'4u0022","_player_evaluations_1_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_1_player_details_position":"2496","_player_evaluations_1_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_1_player_details_school":"Ankeny ","_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":"Kayser was active all over the field against the Jaguars. The UNI commit showed versatility, whether it was rushing for two touchdowns as a wildcat QB or having 7.5 tackles while lining up at middle backer or off the edge. Kayser has a motor that is tough to stop once he gets going and it is fun to watch him fly around.

Irlmeier can find the holes within defenses and can create seperation like no other. Not to mention he is a willing pass catcher that finished the night with 8 receptions for 107 yards and a touchdown.
