<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Every Sunday and throughout the week following Friday HS Football Game Day, Prep Redzone scout Drew Johnson will highlight some of the standouts and notable performances from the weekend.

Despite some tough matchups, Kavouklis has quickly grown as a leader for CAI after back-to-back weeks closing out opponents in the 4th QT. Kavouklis completed some big-time throws against a talented Lakeland defense, earning the second-half 35-34 comeback win against the Dreadnaughts.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><em>Film: </em></strong><a href="https://www.hudl.com/video/3/17591053/65341f2696760609240aa613"><strong><em>https://www.hudl.com/video/3/17591053/65341f2696760609240aa613</em></strong></a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"style":{"typography":{"fontSize":"17px"}}} --> <p style="font-size:17px"><strong><em>Luke Knight | QB | 2024 | Wiregrass Ranch | @lukeknightqb</em></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Congratulations to the senior for putting together an impressive career where he's had to move around some but made the most of the opportunities.

The Army football commit is a confident gamer who will produce at the next level.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><em>Film: </em></strong><a href="https://x.com/lukeknightqb/status/1715865546153971919?s=46&amp;t=E0s2L9z46AqxWmKm25SmTQ"><strong><em>https://x.com/lukeknightqb/status/1715865546153971919?s=46&amp;t=E0s2L9z46AqxWmKm25SmTQ</em></strong></a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"style":{"typography":{"fontSize":"17px"}}} --> <p style="font-size:17px"><strong><em>[player_tooltip player_id='205703' first='Bjorn' last='Jurgensen'] | QB | 2025 | Bishop Moore | @Jurgensen17</em></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The junior quarterback continues to put up solid numbers for the Hornets who have won their last five games and are now 5-3 on the season.
