<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Here is a look at the some of the standouts from last week's Webster Groves vs Ritenour game.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:separator --> <hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity" /> <!-- /wp:separator --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>RITENOUR HUSKIES</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Jayden Barnett QB 2024</strong><br>Burnett does it all for the Huskies on offense and it runs through him with his running and throwing ability. A true dual threat with deadly passing skills for those who don't respect his arm strength and accuracy. He does a good job reading defenses and knows where to put the ball and when to pull it down and take the running lane available to him. He is athletic and has good speed. This allowed him to have a 300 yard passing game and 100 yards rushing while being part of scoring 5 touchdowns on the night. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Percy Childs TE/DE 2024 </strong><br>I was impressed with Childs (6'2" 220} play on both sides of the ball for against the Statesmen. Childs is an outstanding blocker and a big part of the Huskies success on the ground. He also displayed very good receiving skills on his two touchdown catches on the night. Percy has tight end size but runs and has the receiving skills of a receiver. He did a nice job climbing the ladder for his second TD of the night from Barnett. On defense he did a good job applying pressure and playing against the run. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Mike Miller RB/S 2025 </strong><br>The athletic Miller looked good both at safety and running back with his speed and quick twitch athleticism. He has good size, can cover a lot of ground on defense and is physical. He is also a physical running back with quick feet and ability to change direction and hit the gas for big runs. Mike was the leading rusher on the night with 87 yards on 11 carries and a touchdown. On defense he also had two tackles and an interception. He also had a 30 yard punt. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Corey Holmes LB/DB 2025 </strong><br>The 6'0" 190 junior linebacker was the Huskies defensive star of the game leading tackler in their win against Webster Groves with 9 total tackles and 2 interceptions on the night. Holmes is a playmaker who is equally talented against the run and pass. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1128424' first='Yarmon' last='Kirksey Jr']. DE 2026</strong><br>The sophomore defensive lineman did a nice job putting pressure on the opposing quarterback and sniffing out the running game with his six tackles. Kirksey is quick and has a good first step and motor to go along with it. Yarmon had a terrific freshman season and looks like he is on track to do this same in his second year of high school football.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Laron Ramsey WR 2026</strong><br>This sophomore receiver impressed me with his speed and ability to get open. The 5'8" 160 slot receiver did a great job running and getting in space and then making the catch. He also showed some real toughness on the night as well. Laron looks like he has a bright future with the Huskies. He had 4 receptions for 87 yards as the leading receiver. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='360395' first='Billy' last='Hall'] RB 2024 </strong><br>Hall 5'10" 190 has been a tough workhorse with Ritenour during his time with the program and continued to show that against WG. He runs really hard between the tackles and has nice power after contact but also has a nice burst to get outside or pick up big yards up the middle when he hits an opening. He's a physical runner who had 69 yards on 13 carries during the game.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Yehosha Magwood LB 2024 </strong><br>Magwood had a very good game tying for the leading tackler stat on the night with 9 total tackles. He's a very active and physical linebacker who runs well. He seemed to catch my attention on most plays.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1128422' first='Fate' last='Finley'] LB/S 2026 </strong><br>Fate did a nice job in his first game as a Huskie after just getting clear to play at Ritenour after transferring in the offseason from Duchesne, where he was among the top freshmen defensive players in the area. Fate recorded 6 tackles on the night using his instincts, speed and skills to do so in his first action of the year. He will be a real asset for the Huskies defense. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
