Good Counsel Cruises: 5 Stars of the Game

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The Good Counsel Falcons looked like the team to beat in the DMV over the weekend. They were victorious by a margin of 21 points, and they played flawlessly on both sides of the football. Let's take a closer look at the standout playmakers for Good Counsel in this massive win over a WCAC rival- St. John's College High School.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>2024 6'5 190 QB - [player_tooltip player_id='249086' first='Frankie' last='Weaver'] - Good Counsel - Monmouth</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='249086' first='Frankie' last='Weaver'] started this game off hot from the very first snap. Weaver threw an absolute dart to a streaking receiver which put the Falcons in the RedZone on the very first play from scrimmage. The 3 star recruit and Monmouth commit moved the ball with ease against a stingy St. John's defense, and, with only 1 interception, he took care of the ball quite well. He threw multiple TD passes to one of his go to targets, [player_tooltip player_id='372506' first='Damarion' last='Fowlkes'], and he really made plays when they needed them most against the Cadets. I believe that's a product of his championship experience and maturity, so my prediction is that Weaver will lead this Good Counsel team deep into the playoffs this year. [player_tooltip player_id='249086' first='Frankie' last='Weaver'] and the Falcons play their most important game of the WCAC regular season this Friday against their long-time rival the DeMatha Stags.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Highlights: <a href="https://t.co/COtbeNpoAf">https://t.co/COtbeNpoAf</a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>2024 6'0 190 RB - [player_tooltip player_id='249102' first='Dilin' last='Jones'] - Good Counsel - Wisconsin</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>With more than 100 yards rushing and multiple touchdown scores, [player_tooltip player_id='249102' first='Dilin' last='Jones'] put forth a classic [player_tooltip player_id='249102' first='Dilin' last='Jones'] type performance against a WCAC foe. The future Wisconsin Badger scored his first touchdown on a short run in the RedZone, and the second one he scored on a 55 yard breakaway run. There's simply no denying [player_tooltip player_id='249102' first='Dilin' last='Jones']' greatness, and he has firmly established his dominance in the WCAC up to this point in his career. He plays one of the biggest regular season games of his career this Friday night against DeMatha, and I fundamentally guarantee you that he will be one of the impact players in this rivalry contest.

Fowlkes opened up the scoring and tied the game early for the Falcons with an incredible 80 yard TD catch in the first quarter. Late in the second half, he added another score from 40 yards out on a spectacular all-around play. The Junior pass catcher showcased next level talent in this WCAC clash, so I think it would be very wise for scouts to keep their eyes on [player_tooltip player_id='372506' first='Damarion' last='Fowlkes'] as the season continues. He currently possesses D1 offers from: West Virginia, UNLV, and UNCC. His commitment also remains 100% open at the moment!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Highlights: <a href="https://x.com/gcfootball/status/1710762294454407490?s=20">https://x.com/gcfootball/status/1710762294454407490?s=20</a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>2024 6'3 205 LB - [player_tooltip player_id='172218' first='Aaron' last='Chiles'] - Good Counsel - Florida</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Veteran playmaker and Florida commit [player_tooltip player_id='172218' first='Aaron' last='Chiles'] led the Falcons' defense in an incredible comeback effort on Saturday night, giving up the first TD of the game yet rallying in a dominant 28-7 performance. “I think once they were able to get a beat on it and settle down a little bit…They did a great job all day and that definitely gave us opportunities with our offense”, said Good Counsel Head Coach Andrew Stefanelli after Saturday night's win. Chiles and the Falcons' defense most definitely faces their toughest test of the season this upcoming weekend against a super dynamic DeMatha Stags' offense, in a WCAC battle for the ages. If Chiles and the defensive line can contain DeMatha's quarterback, [player_tooltip player_id='250315' first='Denzel' last='Gardner'], and keep him inside the pocket, then they just might take home the victory under the Friday night lights!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Highlights: <a href="https://t.co/YxPg77Q9r0">https://t.co/YxPg77Q9r0</a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>2024 5'10 170 DB - Garret Jackson - Good Counsel</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Garret Jackson arguably made the Play of the Game in this contest when he secured the game-sealing interception and ran it back all the way into the RedZone for the Falcons late in the 4thQ. This web gem play required extreme focus and tremendous effort to pull-off, and Senior defensive back Garret Jackson did so with flying colors. He ran the ball back a whopping 55 yards to the 5 yard line, giving the ball back to Good Counsel with 3 minutes left and a 28-7 lead. Garret Jackson absolutely displayed D1 potential in this game, and I believe that scouts must have his name on their watchlists if they do not already. His commitment remains 100% open! </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Highlights: <a href="https://x.com/lil5golive_/status/1711052289299878338?s=20">https://x.com/lil5golive_/status/1711052289299878338?s=20</a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
