Billy Roberson | RB/DB | Lake Orion | Hudl
Roberson has very good speed and can break long touchdown runs. Roberson can change direction very well and it helps him to effectively make defenders miss. Roberson has good power and is not afraid to lower his shoulder and run over a defender. I love his relentlessness to finish runs at the goaline for touchdowns. Roberson had some nice runs last year against Saline. The Saline defense will need to defend the run well to prevent Roberson from taking over this game.
Kaydon Degraffenreid Kaydon Degraffenreid 6'2" | 220 lbs | LB Lake Orion | 2024 State | LB/DB | Lake Orion | Hudl
Degraffenreid has very good change of direction and it really helps him to excel in zone coverage. Degraffenreid does a good job of recognizing plays quick and flying up to make tackles. He has good burst and it helps him to explode into the back field and make tackles for loss. Degraffenreid is a physical tackler who does a good job of wrapping up ball carriers. Degraffenreid has good body control and moves laterally very well. Degraffenreid’s ability to make plays defensively will be critical for Lake Orion to come out with a victory.
CJ Carr CJ Carr 6'2" | 175 lbs | QB Saline | 2024 State | QB | Saline | Hudl
Carr has been outstanding this year for Saline. He is tremendous at navigating the pocket. He is a very accurate passer and can put good touch on his throws. He is a good athlete who has the ability to scramble and pick up yardage. Carr loves to shine the brightest in big games and tomorrow he will have the opportunity to do that once again. It has been awesome to watch him play these past few years and I look forward to watching him tomorrow night.
Isaiah Harris Isaiah Harris 6'2" | 205 lbs | DL Saline | 2026 State | DE | Saline | Hudl
Harris is a dominant player for Saline. His play this year has been a key part to why their defense has played so well and continued to keep improving. Harris is a hard-hitter who really gets after quarterbacks. He is very good at timing up his blitzes so he can burst into the back field and pressure quarterbacks. Harris moves laterally very well and it helps him to seal off the edge and not allow running backs to cut inside or outside on him. Harris has been lighting up the stat sheet this year. Through 8 games Harris has 57 tackles and 9 sacks.
I have been really looking forward to this game. I have followed Saline very closely for years now and have a lot of respect for their program. Lake Orion is having their best season since 2019 when they went 9-2. You get the feel that this could be a high scoring game since both teams have talent at the skill positions. I believe the team that wins the line of scrimmage will come out victorious. I am really looking forward to this one and I know many others will be also as it will be one of the top games in the state.
