Brian’s Best: Minneapolis North vs. Fridley

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Minneapolis North put on a display of almost perfect smash-mouth football Wednesday night to close out the regular season with a road, shutout win over Fridley. The Polars dominated the game, and they dominate this story. Check out who stood out to me in the <a href="https://prepredzone.com/2023/10/minneapolis-north-vs-fridley-football-can-be-a-simple-game/">34-0 victory</a>. Here is a hint – a whole lot of Polars' big guys.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Minneapolis North O line [player_tooltip player_id='1201991' first='Anaise' last='Dotson'], [player_tooltip player_id='105385' first='Azrie' last='Yeager'], Donnell Ellis 5'9 SR, LaMarcus Osborne 6'2 SR, Malachi Tolliver 6'2 FR</strong> </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>This group dominated the game from the start. The offense had early success behind Dotson and Yeager. Later, they ran to the other side of the line, and then they ran to the other side, and Dotson and Yeager pulled across the formation to lead the runner. The Polars' first touchdown run was behind Yeager, Ellis, and Osborne. Dotson also contributed on defense with a quarterback sack.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["105385"],"_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":"Yeager was a force on both sides of the line of scrimmage, so he gets a second mention.

Later, he fought off a block and made a big hit at the line of scrimmage. Yeager, Dotson, Osborne, and Devin Lay, who would rotate in, dominated the game. They were so much more athletic than the Tigers' offensive line. One of them was in the backfield much of the time.","_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":"Tykeilan Hy Shaw-Moore","_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":"null","_player_evaluations_1_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_1_player_details_position":"2411","_player_evaluations_1_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_1_player_details_school":"Fridley","_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":"Hy Shaw-Moore was the most dynamic player on the Tigers' roster.

Offensively, he made a leaping one-handed catch on an overthrown throw into the flat and picked up a first down.

Later, he exploded off the line of scrimmage, right by his blocker, for a big loss.

An early inside run picked up a first down. His three-yard touchdown run was between the tackles. Brown has a low center of gravity and is a powerful runner. However, based on his build, he has quicker feet than you would think. The senior broke into the clear on a 30-yard touchdown up the middle behind [player_tooltip player_id='105385' first='Azrie' last='Yeager'], Donnell Ellis, and Lamarcus Osborne. He showed good vision with a patient run - picking his way through the line for a first down. He showed his quick feet when he started off-tackle and bounced it outside for fifteen yards. The senior's strength was displayed when he broke three tackles up the middle. Once he broke into the second level, he used his speed for a 42-yard touchdown run. He capped off his day with a 20-yard touchdown run. A two-way player, he was a presence in the middle as a linebacker.","_player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_4_player":["460286"],"_player_evaluations_4_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_4_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_4_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_4_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_4_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_4_evaluation":"Regarding the skill position players, the two teams' talent level was similar. Part of the reason for that was Korti. The senior had little room to operate, but he still showed the athletic ability that has made him one of the better running backs the last two years. On one run, he started right and didn't have any space, so he cut back to the left for a first down. Then, he found room off the left side for a ten-yard run. Then, he showed good speed to the corner. Later, he showed great footwork and vision with an excellent cut to turn a loss into a short gain.","_player_evaluations_4_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_5_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_5_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_5_player_details_selected_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_5_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_5_player_details_player_name":"Stephen Jackson","_player_evaluations_5_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_5_player_details_graduating_class":"2025","_player_evaluations_5_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_5_player_details_height":"5'10u0022","_player_evaluations_5_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_5_player_details_position":"2496","_player_evaluations_5_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_5_player_details_school":"Minneapolis North","_player_evaluations_5_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_5_player_details_club_team":"","_player_evaluations_5_player_details_club_team":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_5_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_5_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations_5_evaluation":"Jackson held the edge against an outside run and made a tackle for a short loss.
