<p>The defense is taking center stage on this week's Game Balls, especially at the linebacker position as guys are reading their keys and making plays in Week 2 of region play. </p>

<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1012834' first='Malik' last='Clark'] </strong>| WR | Rock Hill</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Clark is a technician at the wide receiver position. He can run routes to the sideline with preciseness and look off defenders in the process. And he can also take the top off the defense, like he did in the 52-26 win over Fort Mill on Friday.</p>

<p><strong>Daniel Range </strong>| LB | Rock Hill</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Range can flat out get after the quarterback, and that was evident in facing the spread option offense of Fort Mill. From his outside linebacker spot, he showed great gap integrity and made great tackles in space on the toss plays, taking good angles.</p>

<p><strong>Trey Wagner </strong>| LB | York<br>Wagner (pictured above) had another strong outing, this time in <a href="https://prepredzone.com/2023/10/what-we-saw-york-39-catawba-ridge-20/">a 39-20 win for the Cougars over Catawba Ridge.</a> He can defeat blocks well and has a motor that is always running – he will give maximum effort on every play. He finished with 3 sacks and 3 tackles for loss.</p>

<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='265222' first='Turbo' last='Richard'] </strong>| RB | Northwestern</p>

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>The Boston College commit continues to put up huge nights as the Trojans have won 6 straight. He ran 138 yards and three touchdowns in a 45-14 win over Indian Land on Friday. </p>

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='605531' first='Will' last='Massey'] </strong>| DL | Northwestern</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Massey is one of the leaders up front for the Trojan defense. And Friday night was just another example of that. He had 7.5 total tackles, including 2 tackles for loss in the win over Indian Land.</p>
