Sleeper Report: Creekview vs River Ridge

For the past several years, Creekview and River Ridge have been the top two programs in Cherokee County. Usually, this game has playoff implications, and this past game was no different. Creekview was able to outscore the Knights 48-34, but here at Prep Redzone we had eyes on everyone and looked to provide coverage for some sleepers who might've impressed. Here are a few from each team who passed my eye test.   Creekview   Michael Roach - 2024 - TE   Roach is an underrated TE prospect who was the clear go-to threat for Creekview all night. He might not check some of the ideal TE measurables boxes at this point, which is why he might be under the radar as a senior. However, he is big and physical enough to make contested catches and rip the ball away from the defender, which he did a few times on Friday night. To go along with his physicality, he flashes some excellent focus when the ball is in the air and is capable of reeling in the football while falling to the turf and having to contour his body at the last second. Roach is a natural pass catcher with gifted hands and the physical tools to win 1v1s. For that reason, he is worthy of some small-school attention.   [player_tooltip player_id='411240' first='Austin' last='Guest'] - 2025 - QB   It's been well-documented at this point. [player_tooltip player_id='411240' first='Austin' last='Guest'] is one of the most dynamic QBs in Georgia's 2025 class, and he played possibly the best game of his career on Friday. Guest was efficient in the passing game, completing 8 of 10 passes for 150 yards and a TD. He did an excellent job of putting touch on the ball and allowing his receivers to go up and make a play. On the ground, Guest exploded for 164 yards and 3 TDs on over 10 YPC. He has an outstanding grasp of the option game, rarely missing when he has to pull the ball vs when he has to hand it off. In the open field, Guest showcases some excellent vision and has the athleticism to make defenders miss as he trots closer to the endzone. Guest is like glue to the endzone, and he showed why on Friday night.   Mason Munn - 2026 - RB   Munn is playing himself onto the radar as a sophomore and put up his career-best numbers on Friday, rushing for 136 yards and 2 TDs on 21 carries. Munn has a stout lower body and runs with a low center of gravity, which allows him to absorb contact nicely and fall forward to tack on a few extra yards at the end of his runs. Munn isn't necessarily a burner, but speed is relative for the RB position. He is patient and attacks each opening with a plan, he also does a good job of riding his blocks through first and second-level defenders. When he goes to change direction, he does a good job of quickly decelerating his feet and shifting himself into another running lane, where he again quickly shifts his momentum north/south and begins to ascend. Munn is young and improving each week, which makes him a breakout candidate on the recruiting trail.   River Ridge   [player_tooltip player_id='556326' first='Grant' last='Hollier'] - 2025 - WR   Hollier was one of the most physically impressive prospects on the field Friday night, coming in at 6'4 215 with a stout upper body. Hollier showed the ability to impact the vertical passing game in a few different ways. For a bigger guy, he reaches his top speed in a hurry, eliminating cushion and climbing past DBs. He also flashed the ability to run underneath route concepts and sit down to reel in the football. After the catch, Hollier showed that he is capable of shrugging off aggressive tackling attempts from the defense. Unless you gang-tackle or wrap up low, there's a good chance that Hollier will shrug off your tackle and keep his feet churning for extra yards. Hollier is an impressive "traits" prospect who still has a year of growing ahead of him. There's a chance that he ends up growing into the TE spot.   [player_tooltip player_id='1566593' first='Ethan' last='Spector'] - 2025 - QB   Spector stood out to me thanks to his presence and toughness in the pocket. Creekview is an aggressive, havoc-based defense. For the most part, Spector seemed to handle the pressure well and confidently stood tall in the pocket as he delivered passes. He put good touch on the ball and gave his receivers chances to make plays. As the game went on, more and more of those passes started to become completions. When the play broke down, Spector did a good job of getting outside the pocket and scampering for extra yards. At one point, he converted a crucial 3rd and long with his legs. As long as he continues to sit tall in the pocket and confidently get the ball out on time to his receivers, Spector can push the ball vertically.   Camden Cox - 2026 - RB   Running the ball against a stout defense is not easy, but Cox showcased the ability to fight for every yard he could and was able to impact the game in different ways. Cox is a young guy, but he is built well and has the physical edge required to bounce off tacklers, regain his footing, and get north/south. Cox put a different part of his game on display Friday night, taking a wheel route out of the backfield 64 yards for a TD. On that run, he was able to split and shrug off defenders as he ran away from everyone else to the endzone. As he continues to carve out runs and develops as a pass catcher, Cox should continue to raise his stock as a prospect. He is already producing at a young age, so I'm eager to track his future development.
