MMHSAA: Players to watch in 2024 from B Division

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The Monsignor Martin High School Athletic Association is comprised of Catholic Schools in the Western New York Area. There are two divisions, with three schools in each. Today, I will focus on players to watch from the B Division: Bishop Timon-St. Jude, Cardinal O'Hara and St. Mary's.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["505854"],"_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":"A two year Varsity starter since his Freshman season in 2022, Anzalone led the Tigers to back-to-back B Division titles. Dominic has a 14-4 record as Timon's starting Quarterback, accumulating 2,673 passing yards and 30 TDs, including a league leading 20 touchdowns in 2023. He possesses great arm strength and a quick release but his ability to throw on the run, whether it is to get away from pressure or a designed bootleg, is remarkable. Given his size (6'1 205 lbs), [player_tooltip player_id='505854' first='Dominic' last='Anzalone'] has the stature to stand in the pocket and take on pressure; with 2 years left to go in his High School career, sky is the limit for this young man.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_1_player":["648835"],"_player_evaluations_1_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_1_override_profile_image":["override_image"],"_player_evaluations_1_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_1_player_featured_image":1109136,"_player_evaluations_1_player_featured_image":"field_62f141137ead9","player_evaluations_1_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_1_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"WR [player_tooltip player_id='648835' first='Gerald' last='McCloud'] was Anzalone's #1 target in 2022 u0026amp; 2023.

Brandon Burr's usage with Cardinal O'Hara has increased over the last two years and with their 2023 roster composed of predominantly Seniors, there will be plenty of opportunities for Burr to shine as a Junior in 2024.","_player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_3_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_3_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_3_player_details_selected_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_3_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_3_player_details_player_name":"Gabe Kelichner","_player_evaluations_3_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_3_player_details_graduating_class":"2025","_player_evaluations_3_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_3_player_details_height":"6'3u0022","_player_evaluations_3_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_3_player_details_position":"2405","_player_evaluations_3_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_3_player_details_school":"Cardinal O'Hara","_player_evaluations_3_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_3_player_details_club_team":"","_player_evaluations_3_player_details_club_team":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_3_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_3_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"As a Left Guard, Kelichner was a massive presence, standing at 6'3 u0026amp; 310 lbs.

Gabe Kelichner has a great get off and blocks to the whistle every play. With excellent footwork, he has the ability to reach the second level and drive opposing defenders down field. Gabe proved to be a force on the Defensive Line as well, making the Western New York All Catholic Team as a Defensive Tackle. He displayed superb aggression, registering 37 tackles (5 for loss) and 2 fumble recoveries in 10 games as a Junior. Kelichner also showed superior athleticism by adding 2 blocked punts to his resume. With his senior year coming in 2024, Kelichner is sure to be in the conversation as a Trench Trophy award winner, given to Western New York's best lineman.","_player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_4_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_4_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_4_player_details_selected_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_4_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_4_player_details_player_name":"Logan Gray","_player_evaluations_4_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_4_player_details_graduating_class":"2025","_player_evaluations_4_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_4_player_details_height":"6'2u0022","_player_evaluations_4_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_4_player_details_position":"2407","_player_evaluations_4_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_4_player_details_school":"St. Mary's High School","_player_evaluations_4_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_4_player_details_club_team":"","_player_evaluations_4_player_details_club_team":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_4_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_4_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations_4_evaluation":"A two-way starter at St. Mary's, Logan Gray showed to to be a bright spot on a team that struggled to win in 2023. Listed at 6'2 190 lbs, Gray looks and plays like he is a lot bigger. As a Tight End and Middle Linebacker, Logan displayed excellent football instincts, good footwork and an undeniable determination to make a play. He made the Western New York All Catholic Team as a TE. His route running was good but his physical stature made it very difficult for defenders to cover or bring him down once he caught the ball. Gray was placed all over the offense; on the line as traditional TE, in the slot to spread out the defense and in the backfield like a Fullback. Wherever he was located, he was sure to be a big target for St. Mary's Quarterback. Hopefully, St. Mary's football team will get on track in 2024 and Logan Gray can get the recognition he deserves as a Senior.","_player_evaluations_4_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_5_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_5_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_5_player_details_selected_featured_image":1111240,"_player_evaluations_5_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_5_player_details_player_name":"Israel Wilson","_player_evaluations_5_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_5_player_details_graduating_class":"2026","_player_evaluations_5_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_5_player_details_height":"5'10u0022","_player_evaluations_5_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_5_player_details_position":"2408","_player_evaluations_5_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_5_player_details_school":"St. Mary's High School","_player_evaluations_5_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_5_player_details_club_team":"","_player_evaluations_5_player_details_club_team":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_5_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_5_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations_5_evaluation":"Another Western New York All Catholic Team member, Israel Wilson led St. Mary's in Rushing, Receiving and Kick Returns as a Sophomore in 2023. Blessed with speed and quickness, Wilson has a unique ability to stop and start in an effort to dodge to defenders, a trait he seemed to perform with ease. Even when the ball did not go to Israel, he displayed great selflessness by running down the field and delivering blocks for his teammates. Wilson will be a Junior in 2024 so he will have 2 more season to prefect his talents and put St. Mary's back in to MMHSAA relevance.","_player_evaluations_5_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":6,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6573300c1076d"} /-->
