Harrisburg has the pieces to do that with Shawn Lee playing as defensive back along with quarterback, Ellias Coke as a defensive back, and [player_tooltip player_id='255741' first='Ryan' last='Epps'] as an edge defender. Lee and Coke are Division One prospects who play at a high level on defense. They both have the coverage skills to slow down the passing game for Manheim Township. Epps had 3 sacks for Harrisburg, so he has the skills to create havoc in the backfield. Harrisburg also has [player_tooltip player_id='402452' first='Kevin' last='Brown'] a stout defensive lineman, [player_tooltip player_id='280353' first='Raytel' last='Bryant'] an all-league linebacker, and [player_tooltip player_id='916999' first='Quincy' last='Brannon'] at defensive back.

They have been running it for a long time. In the era of spread offenses Cocalico's veer offense is a throwback offense that is hard to defend. Cocalico has 3878 rushing this year vs. 289 yards through the air. The problem with trying to defend the veer offense is you do not understand how hard it is to defend until you see it live. Cocalico just controls the ball for long drives which shortens the game for the other team. Led by fullbacks [player_tooltip player_id='827551' first='Sam' last='Steffey'], and [player_tooltip player_id='941159' first='Dane' last='Horning'] they have two tough physical runners that are hard to stop. Add in the wing-back in [player_tooltip player_id='1105939' first='Aaryn' last='Longenecker'] then you got a dynamic trio of running backs. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph -->

[player_tooltip player_id='255045' first='Rico' last='Scott'] and [player_tooltip player_id='377351' first='Chase' last='Regan'] are talented wide receivers who make a ton of plays for McDevitt in the passing game. It is so hard to stop either. Then you throw in dynamic [player_tooltip player_id='402457' first='Maurice' last='Barnes'] at running back. McDevitt is a tough team to beat. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Top prospects Manheim Central</strong>: </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["377418"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-655e8b86b01e3"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["893517"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-655e8b86b021f"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["894757"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-655e8b86b025b"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["377500"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-655e8b86b0295"} /--> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Manheim Central's offense is not to be outdone with [player_tooltip player_id='377418' first='Zac' last='Hahn'] with over 2800 yards passing, [player_tooltip player_id='894757' first='Brycen' last='Armold'] with over 1,000 yards rushing, and [player_tooltip player_id='893517' first='Aaron' last='Enterline'] with over 1,000 yards receiving.
