Gar-Field vs. Forest Park Players to watch:

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Looking forward to watching the Gar-Field Red Wolves (2-4, 1-1) travel to Woodbridge to face the Forest Park Bruins (4-3, 2-1), tonight, with three games left both teams have shots at the playoffs. Forest Park is sitting somewhat comfortably for a playoff spot, they dominated the Vikings last week and already have two conference wins. Gar-Field has a lot of work to do after last week's setback against Potomac Senior. The Red Wolves have the talent on both sides of the ball to make a late season run, do not count them out quite yet. Here are a few players to keep your eye on for later:</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["941585"],"_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":"One of the top uncommitted 2024 prospects in the state, [player_tooltip player_id='941585' first='Andrew' last='Perry'] is due for game wrecking performance.

Behind what may be the biggest offensive line in this part of the state, [player_tooltip player_id='1231470' first='Landon' last='Hunt'] is the workhorse for Coach Robinette's run heavy offense. After his game last week here is what I wrote in my game ball piece:rnrnu003cemu003eWatching this game up close, I firmly believe Head Coach John Robinette when he said the Bruins believe they are going to be playing in the playoffs. Forest Park looked like the real deal in their dismantling of cross-town rival Woodbridge and junior running back [player_tooltip player_id='1231470' first='Landon' last='Hunt'] is a big reason why.  About midway through the first quarter, Hunt eclipsed the 1,000 yard rushing mark on the season, but that is not why he is getting a game ball. As many know the Bruins are a power run first offense who may throw 5 times per contest, they also have one of the biggest offensive lines in the region. The reason he is getting a game ball is because he is a team first player, not once when I interviewed post game did he want to give himself any credit. I mean he easily could of, he had over 100 yards rushing and 1 score in their victory over the Vikings, but instead he wanted to give credit to his big man up front. Players like [player_tooltip player_id='1231470' first='Landon' last='Hunt'] are the type of young man you can build a championship squad with, and believe me Forest Park has those aspirations.u003c/emu003e","_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":"Jaiden Mclendon-Parker","_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":"6'1u0022","_player_evaluations_2_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_2_player_details_position":"2411","_player_evaluations_2_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_2_player_details_school":"Forest Park","_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":"A playmaker both at corner and receiver for Forest Park that we have yet to talk about is Senior Jaiden Mclendon-Parker.

This set the tone for Forest Park and if they want to advance in the playoffs they would be wise to call a few more deep shots to this dude.

If this junior can get going early, look out we could have a showdown in Woodbridge.rnrnu003cemu003eThe u003c/emu003eu003cemu003estar of the night was this young man Herman “Action” Jackson as he ran over/under/around and through the Unity Reed defense. Jackson had over 20 carries for nearly 170 yards rushing with two touchdowns. The way he has been working and performing he will be a name to know in the Cardinal district.

Look for Coach Kiehling to mix in both Gillon and Jackson tonight to keep the Bruins defense guessing, these two are an excellent one-two punch.","_player_evaluations_4_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":5,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-65294b279662a"} /-->
