The senior punting extraordinaire showed off his strong leg and pinpoint accuracy, knocking two punts over 60 yards including one inside the 5-yard-line. A top performer in Kohl's Kicking national punting competitions, Tevepaugh also serves as a quick and athletic safety for Ron Peduzzi's Eagles. He's a veteran with many skills who will prove crucial to his squad the rest of the way. u003c/spanu003ernrnu0026nbsp;","_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='1395087' first='Reid' last='McCollum']","_player_evaluations_1_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_1_player_details_graduating_class":"2026","_player_evaluations_1_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_1_player_details_height":"6'3u0022","_player_evaluations_1_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_1_player_details_position":"2495","_player_evaluations_1_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_1_player_details_school":"Hilton Head Christian","_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":"u003cspan style=u0022font-weight: 400u0022u003eThe Eagles were looking for an extra spark on defense against a strong Ben Lippen squad, and sophomore u003c/spanu003eu003cbu003e[player_tooltip player_id='1395087' first='Reid' last='McCollum']u003c/bu003eu003cspan style=u0022font-weight: 400u0022u003e answered the challenge for the Eagles. McCollum put up a monster game on Friday night, making six tackles with two sacks with his high energy and quick pursuit to the backfield. He also dominated in pass coverage, picking off two Ben Lippen throws and returning one to the house for six points. McCollum has emerged as a key versatile piece of an Eagle defense that is starting to find it midway through the season. u003c/spanu003ernrnu0026nbsp;","_player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":2,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6501bd29402be"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/hudl {"name":"acf/hudl","data":{"embed_code":"u003ciframe src='https://www.hudl.com/embed/video/3/17862849/64fc73732348af12cc7f9ab7' width='640' height='360' frameborder='0' allowfullscreenu003eu003c/iframeu003e","_embed_code":"field_62daf7995fd8c"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6501bd294031d"} /--> <!-- 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":"Alex Williams","_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":"5'8u0022","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"2406","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"Beaufort Academy","_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":"u003cspan style=u0022font-weight: 400u0022u003eWe've talked a lot about Beaufort Academy's high-octane offense so far in 2023, but the defense is getting it done too.

He's an aggressive player who shows an extra level of strength and footwork to get into the backfield and make timely stops each game. He'll need to be a leader and producer to shut down the ground game if the Eagles want to finish on top in SCISA 2A this November. u003c/spanu003ernrnu0026nbsp;","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_1_player":["267473"],"_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: 400u0022u003eTrinity Collegiate's scorching-hot offense kept it up on its home field Friday sparked by electric athlete u003c/spanu003eu003cbu003eCourtlyn Brunsonu003c/bu003eu003cspan style=u0022font-weight: 400u0022u003e.

He totaled 231 yards and three touchdowns on 17 carries while going an efficient 5-of-8 through the air. Expect O'Banner to be the driving force of a Thomas Heyward offense looking to keep up in an improved SCISA 1A field. u003c/spanu003ernrnu0026nbsp;","_player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":2,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6501bd2940522"} /-->
