He showed his arm strength early with a strong throw to the outside. He was clutch on a fourth and five completion. He has a quick release – highlighted on a short throw to the outside. Then, he showed he doesn't just hurt defenses with his arm. Helder ran the ball for a first down. His arm was highlighted again when he hit a deep post to pick up a first down on third and long. After another quick throw to the sidelines for a first down, the senior didn't see an open receiver, so he tucked the ball away and ran for twelve yards and a first down. After an eight-yard touchdown pass, Helder was perfect on a pair of deep crossing routes. His best throw might have been late in the game – a throw down the boundary for a touchdown.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-65601fd81aa7b"} /--> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Stewartville OL</strong> </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1204366' first='Ridge' last='Hatz']</strong> JR, <strong>Lincoln Dube</strong> JR, <strong>Antony Nelson</strong> SR, <strong>Jamisen Hart</strong> SR, [player_tooltip player_id='704469' first='Caleb' last='Jannsen'] SR </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Early in the game and most of the second half, this group gave quarterback [player_tooltip player_id='1142977' first='Ayden' last='Helder'] a lot of time to find his receivers. Although most of the group's damage was done through the air, the Tigers also found success – especially in the second half – specifically running to the right side behind Hatz, Dube, and Nelson. On the left side, Hart came across the formation to pick up an excellent kick-out trap block. Jannsen's great block on the outside sprung the running back for a first down. Defensively, Dube got off a blocker and made a tackle for no gain on third and short. Also, playing both ways, Jannsen made a tackle on the inside for a short gain and, later, even dropped into coverage to knock down a pass. Hatz played the run well - stuffing an inside run for a loss of two yards.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"[player_tooltip player_id='362306' first='Caleb' last='Johnson']","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"2025","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"6'0u0022","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"2409","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"Dilworth-Glyndon-Felton","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_0_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"Especially in the first half, Johnson was on target with the short passing game.
