District play is off to a strong start across the state of Texas. We are going to look at some prospects that had impressive performances on Friday night. The playoffs are approaching, and the level of play continues to rise each week. Here are a few prospects to watch out for over the next couple of weeks.   Keith Guidry-Athlete-Arlington Heights-2024   The Arlington Heights prospect opened plenty of eyes with a strong performance in all three phases of the game. Guidry accounted for 3 touchdowns on the night as a returner, wide receiver, and a defensive back. Each touchdown was of the explosive variety of 60-plus yards. He is having a strong senior season and is a prospect to watch out for this season.   [player_tooltip player_id='371923' first='DJ' last='Lagway']-Quarterback-Willis-2024   [player_tooltip player_id='371923' first='DJ' last='Lagway'] is having a tremendous 2023 football season. He has terrorized opposing defensive secondaries with his accuracy and strong arm. On Friday night, Lagway threw 7 touchdown passes. All of the passes came in the first half. Willis is off to a great start this season and are a team that could make some noise come playoff. Lagway is a quarterback that can hurt you with his arm or his legs and is a prospect to watch out for as the season progresses.   [player_tooltip player_id='584434' first='Bryan' last='Jackson']-Running Back-McKinney-2024   [player_tooltip player_id='584434' first='Bryan' last='Jackson'] is a USC prospect that has no trouble carrying the ball between the tackles. Jackson has the speed to cut it to the outside and can make people miss with no problem at all. On Friday, Jackson returned from injury and had an impressive night in the process. Jackson racked up 113 yards on the ground and found the end zone 3 times on the night. Jackson looks to be healthy and ready to rack up the yardage throughout the rest of the season.   [player_tooltip player_id='688654' first='Jalen' last='Mickens']-Wide Receiver-Willis-2025   The Willis wide receiver has torched opposing secondaries over the past few weeks. [player_tooltip player_id='688654' first='Jalen' last='Mickens']' athleticism causes plenty of problems for opposing defenses. He uses his athleticism to create separation from opposing defenders. He put that talent on display several times on Friday night. The Willis wide receiver found the end zone and, in the process, continues to open eyes every Friday night.   [player_tooltip player_id='628973' first='Michael' last='Hawkins']-Quarterback-Frisco Emerson-2024   [player_tooltip player_id='628973' first='Michael' last='Hawkins'] has the talent to pick opposing defenses apart with the passing game. On Friday, Hawkins put that talent on display. The Frisco Emerson signal caller threw 5 touchdown passes against Creekview. Hawkins does a great job of extending the play and buying time in the pocket. He is having an impressive season and I look for that trend to continue over the next few weeks.
