The senior dominated in the ground game and out wide, totaling 147 all-purpose yards and three touchdowns. He brought some energy defensively, making two tackles including a sack. A quick and agile athlete who has the stamina and grit to shine in all three phases, Brunson is becoming a valuable weapon for an up-and-coming Titans squad.u003c/spanu003e","_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":"Landen Newman","_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":"5'11u0022","_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":"Trinity Collegiate","_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: 400u0022u003eIt was a stellar outing for u003c/spanu003eu003cbu003eLanden Newmanu003c/bu003eu003cspan style=u0022font-weight: 400u0022u003e to lead a strong Trinity Collegiate defensive and special teams performance on Friday. Newman's high intensity and pursuit helped him rack up seven tackles and one for loss while adding an interception return for a touchdown. His quickness and anticipation defensively were noticeable on every snap, and his unending hustle showed up on special teams with both a field goal block and a punt block. He's a monster playmaker who can do it all no matter where he's put on the field, and he went above and beyond on Friday to power his squad to a big night. u003c/spanu003e","_player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":2,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-64f671b5ed458"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/hudl {"name":"acf/hudl","data":{"embed_code":"u003ciframe src='https://www.hudl.com/embed/video/3/17954967/64f397702ab1560a80dfe00c' width='640' height='360' frameborder='0' allowfullscreenu003eu003c/iframeu003e","_embed_code":"field_62daf7995fd8c"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-64f671b5ed4df"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["322302"],"_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":"u003cspan style=u0022font-weight: 400u0022u003eA defending state champion in SCISA 2A, u003c/spanu003eu003cbu003eTeague Wardu003c/bu003eu003cspan style=u0022font-weight: 400u0022u003e delivered a strong game for the Williamsburg Academy Stallions on both sides of the ball in a hard-fought win over Florence Christian. Ward was the difference-maker to move the chains, turning 13 carries into 133 yards and two touchdowns while adding two catches for 15 yards. He was a menace on defense too, using his quick mobility and physicality to notch four tackles for loss and a quarterback hurry. An elusive playmaker out in open space who always shows up with an extra edge on defense, Ward might be the most complete player in SCISA 2A this year. u003c/spanu003e","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-64f671b5ed578"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/hudl {"name":"acf/hudl","data":{"embed_code":"u003ciframe src='https://www.hudl.com/embed/video/3/14688467/64f2d4b39a9c59089c6477dc' width='640' height='360' frameborder='0' allowfullscreenu003eu003c/iframeu003e","_embed_code":"field_62daf7995fd8c"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-64f671b5ed5b5"} /--> <!-- 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":"Hugh Fairey","_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":"null","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"2409","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"Patrick Henry 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":"u003cbu003eHugh Faireyu003c/bu003eu003cspan style=u0022font-weight: 400u0022u003e chose a great time to have his best game so far as a Patrick Henry Academy Patriot. He was unbeatable against defending SCISA 1A champ Lee Academy, throwing for 264 yards and three touchdowns through the air and adding 143 rushing yards and a score on top. An electric playmaker with the ball in his hands who has that extra compete level no matter the sport, Fairey rose to another level on Friday night and took what the defense gave him while making a few dazzling improv plays of his own. He's got quite a connection with brother u003c/spanu003eu003cbu003eForest Faireyu003c/bu003eu003cspan style=u0022font-weight: 400u0022u003e, which was lethal all night long to the tune of 253 of those passing yards and all three scores. If the Fairey brothers can stay this dominant, it could be a dominant run through SCISA 1A for the Patriots. u003c/spanu003e","_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":"Jammall Fludd","_player_evaluations_1_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_1_player_details_graduating_class":"2025","_player_evaluations_1_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_1_player_details_height":"6'1u0022","_player_evaluations_1_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_1_player_details_position":"2408","_player_evaluations_1_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_1_player_details_school":"Porter-Gaud","_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: 400u0022u003eA terrific two-way player for the Porter-Gaud Cyclones, u003c/spanu003eu003cbu003eJammall Fluddu003c/bu003eu003cspan style=u0022font-weight: 400u0022u003e brought it on Friday in a shutout victory over Camden Military. Fludd was effective on the ground, making defenders miss to total 87 yards and three touchdowns on 11 carries. He added an interception to his big day defensively and set the tone for his unit with his hustle and anticipation. He'll be a constant threat on the ground and an underrated corner for the still-undefeated Cyclones. u003c/spanu003e","_player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_2_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_2_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_2_player_details_selected_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_2_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_2_player_details_player_name":"Blake Bost","_player_evaluations_2_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_2_player_details_graduating_class":"2024","_player_evaluations_2_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_2_player_details_height":"null","_player_evaluations_2_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_2_player_details_position":"2495","_player_evaluations_2_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_2_player_details_school":"Ben Lippen","_player_evaluations_2_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_2_player_details_club_team":"","_player_evaluations_2_player_details_club_team":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_2_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_2_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"u003cspan style=u0022font-weight: 400u0022u003eBen Lippen picked up a gutsy win over Pinewood Prep on Friday to stay unbeaten, and u003c/spanu003eu003cbu003eBlake Bostu003c/bu003eu003cspan style=u0022font-weight: 400u0022u003e was a big reason why. Bost's hands and elusiveness out wide sparked the offense, catching five passes for 93 yards and a touchdown. His alertness defensively was also noticeable, pouncing on the football to recover a forced fumble. He makes a bunch of little plays add up, and he can turn on the jets when he gets the ball in space. Bost will be the featured target of an efficient Falcon offense this fall. u003c/spanu003e","_player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_3_player":["463121"],"_player_evaluations_3_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_3_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_3_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_3_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_3_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"u003cspan style=u0022font-weight: 400u0022u003eThe legend of u003c/spanu003eu003cbu003eAustyn Grady u003c/bu003eu003cspan style=u0022font-weight: 400u0022u003eand Northwood Academy got even better on Friday night, as the Chargers won their third straight game to open the season. Grady sparked his team with a sensational showing at quarterback, completing 19 of 29 passes for 284 yards and a pair of touchdowns. He's an efficient passer and has developed a strong chemistry with budding sophomore receiver [player_tooltip player_id='1734610' first='Aydan' last='Hogan'].
