He showed pure 3-down back ability with his playmaking out of the backfield and physicality as a pass-blocker. He's a strong, balanced runner that can generate downhill power and finish through contact. Manu and Spring Valley travel to Gilbert, AZ to face Perry on Friday. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/TipisoneManu/status/1696734659508568325?s=20","type":"rich","providerNameSlug":"twitter","responsive":true} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/TipisoneManu/status/1696734659508568325?s=20 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- 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":"Keimarion Taylor ","_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":"5'6u0022","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"2408","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"Durango","_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":"","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-64f1928b96eb7"} /--> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Taylor totaled 163 rushing yards and 1 TD on 23 carries in Durango's 27-13 win over Desert Oasis. He's a smaller back (5'6”/155) with fluid speed, agility, and explosion. He's slippery at the LOS using his low pad-level and center-of-gravity to his advantage. Taylor will look to build off a productive game 1 when Durango hosts Coronado on Friday night. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/DHSTBFB/status/1695895448601727161?s=20","type":"rich","providerNameSlug":"twitter","responsive":true} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/DHSTBFB/status/1695895448601727161?s=20 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- 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":"Kobe Craig","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"2025 ","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"5'8u0022","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"2408","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"Damonte Ranch","_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":"","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-64f1928b96f8a"} /--> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Craig and senior RB <strong>DJ Gonzalez-Brown</strong> combined for 240+ rushing yards and 2 TDs in Damonte Ranch's 42-7 win over North Valleys. Craig totaled 142 yards and 1 TD on 14 carries for an average of 10 ypc. He's a shifty back that can make defenders miss around the edge and find space at the second level. Damonte Ranch hosts Truckee on Friday in a matchup of two 2-0 teams. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/KobeCraig23/status/1695505630956568608?s=20","type":"rich","providerNameSlug":"twitter","responsive":true} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/KobeCraig23/status/1695505630956568608?s=20 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["811156"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-64f1928b97007"} /--> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Burrell showed why he's one of the best RBs in the state with 104 yards and 3 TDs in Desert Pines' 38-13 win over Faith Lutheran. He flashed great vision and contact balance as a runner and played with effort and physicality in blocking situations. Burrell and Desert Pines host St. Louis (Honolulu, HI) who's coming off a loss to Liberty last week.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><a href="https://www.hudl.com/video/3/16264403/64ea0b4da018a80a748afcae">Week-1 Highlights</a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["817756"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-64f1928b9707d"} /--> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Worthen and fellow senior RB [player_tooltip player_id='819544' first='Jackson' last='Sellers'] combined for nearly 300 yards and 3 TDs in Reno's 35-10 win over Northgate (Walnut Creek, CA). Worthen showed his tough, physical running style totaling 122 yards and 2 TDs on 17 carries. He runs with churning leg drive and great balance through contact. Reno faces a tough test on the road against Grant this Friday, one of the better teams in Sacramento. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Other Top Performers</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul><!-- wp:list-item --> <li><strong>DJ Gonzalez-Brown (RB / 2024 / Damonte Ranch): </strong>13/105/1 TD</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul><!-- wp:list-item --> <li><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='819544' first='Jackson' last='Sellers'] (RB / 2024 / Reno): </strong>33/174/1 TD</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul><!-- wp:list-item --> <li><strong>Malachi Johnson (RB / 2024 / Somerset Academy Losee):</strong> 19/191/2 TD</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul><!-- wp:list-item --> <li><strong>Elias Aguilar (RB / 2025 / South Tahoe): </strong>25/141/2 TD</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul><!-- wp:list-item --> <li><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='819533' first='Connor' last='Jackson'] (RB / 2024 / Douglas): </strong>24/111/1 TD</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul><!-- wp:list-item --> <li><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='817731' first='Isaiah' last='Lauofo'] (RB / 2024 / Liberty): </strong>22/129/1 TD</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul><!-- wp:list-item --> <li><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1112655' first='Evan' last='Cannon'] (RB / 2024 / Shadow Ridge): </strong>29/179/1 TD</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list -->
