That is the only way to spin it. The kid is having an amazing season as he helped lead Manheim Township to a 37-27 win to improve to 12-0 on the year. He threw for 283 yards and 3 touchdowns on the night. He also became Manheim Township's all-time leading passer on the night. Johnson can do it all at quarterback. He can sit in the pocket and pick you a part or scramble around and make plays with his legs. Several times on Friday night Cumberland Valley seemed to have him sacked and he escaped to make plays down the field. Johnson next week will try to lead his team to a District Championship against Harrisburg.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-655a0b1c92d7c"} /--> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>5 Questions with Hayden</strong>:</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>1)Describe your connection with [player_tooltip player_id='256168' first='Landon' last='Kennel']. </strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>It has been like that for like 10 or 11 years with Landon.
