QB [player_tooltip player_id='1068557' first='Cason' last='Myers']   Freshmen quarterback [player_tooltip player_id='1068557' first='Cason' last='Myers'] has had himself a great first year as Pike Road's starter and has made some huge plays in their postseason run so far. Myers had himself a great week last week against Spanish Fort where he was able to efficiently move the ball all game long- in total, he completed 14/22 pass attempts for 214 yards, 2 touchdowns, and only 1 interception. Myers has an impressive arm and ability to execute what his offense needs in clutch situations- he's definitely a player lots of teams will have circled before future matchups.   RB [player_tooltip player_id='401112' first='Mike' last='Jones']   In addition to their high-flying passing attack, Pike Road was able to run the ball really well too. Throughout the game, sophomore phenom [player_tooltip player_id='401112' first='Mike' last='Jones'] played extremely well as he was able to carry the ball 14 times for 79 yards. [player_tooltip player_id='401112' first='Mike' last='Jones'] is a seriously talented back with great vision and game-changing speed- he always is able to provide Pike Road with some necessary damage on the ground.   WR Jordan King   [player_tooltip player_id='1068557' first='Cason' last='Myers']' favorite target throughout this game was junior wide receiver Jordan King. King has been really productive all season but had an especially great game last week, consistently being an impactful target downfield for Pike Road's passing attack. Throughout the game, King was able to total up 4 receptions for 138 yards and 2 touchdowns- keep an eye on him going forward, he's been really slept on.     <h2 class="wp-block-heading">CENTRAL</h2>   Central faced off against a tough Auburn squad last week and ended up beating them 49-21 in a huge offensive showcase.   QB [player_tooltip player_id='974922' first='Andrew' last='Alford']   [player_tooltip player_id='974922' first='Andrew' last='Alford'] had an unbelievable performance against Auburn that featured him completing pass after pass all over the field. Alford was able to connect downfield with his receivers repeatedly all game and completed 25/32 attempts for 429 yards, 4 touchdowns, and zero interceptions. Alford has a huge arm and can absolutely launch the ball downfield, in addition to his strength he has a ton of accuracy and can fit some passes into some tough windows.   WR [player_tooltip player_id='719688' first='Dalyn' last='Upshaw']   One of the wide receivers Alford was able to connect with was [player_tooltip player_id='719688' first='Dalyn' last='Upshaw'], an elite sophomore pass catcher. Upshaw was super productive and was able to rack up 9 receptions for 139 yards and 2 touchdowns. Upshaw is a really talented wide receiver who has made himself known a bunch in the last year- he's definitely going to continue to be a big asset for them as time goes on.   WR Cam Coleman   Cam Coleman is another one of Central's extremely talented wide receivers and he was also able to rack up a really good day. Coleman is a dominant force downfield and is regarded as one of the top receivers in the nation- last week he was able to haul in 10 receptions for 208 yards and 1 touchdown, consistently dominating their defense. Coleman is an electric playmaker and will be a problem for any defense he has to line up against.     <h2 class="wp-block-heading">BENJAMIN RUSSELL</h2>   Benjamin Russell has continued to dominate opposing defenses throughout this postseason, with their most recent showing in a 47-27 victory over Hueytown.   QB [player_tooltip player_id='788612' first='Gabriel' last='Benton']   [player_tooltip player_id='788612' first='Gabriel' last='Benton'] is continuing the dominant run he's been on in his junior season, and last week against Hueytown, Benton had one of his best performances yet. Benton had an elite performance in this game and was able to throw for 402 yards and 4 touchdowns, and also totaled up 7 carries for 34 yards and 2 touchdowns on the ground as well.   WR [player_tooltip player_id='562161' first='Malcolm' last='Simmons']   [player_tooltip player_id='562161' first='Malcolm' last='Simmons'], the do-it-all playmaker for Benjamin Russell, had himself a dominant performance as a wide receiver in this game. Simmons was a consistently great target for Benton in this game as he was able to total up 7 receptions for 243 yards and 2 touchdowns. Simmons is extremely athletic and can make plays at every position but he'll be a serious threat at WR for whoever ends up with him at the next level.   WR Chris Foster   Chris Foster was another really productive receiver in this game, helping [player_tooltip player_id='788612' first='Gabriel' last='Benton'] a ton- he's super shifty and can run some terrific routes. Foster had a big impact on this game as well as Simmons, he was able to haul in 6 receptions for 80 yards and 2 touchdowns. Foster is a really impressive playmaker and is going to be a player to watch in their game this week!
