Division Returners: Ivy White

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Newark East Side dominated the division in 2023 as they went 6-0 in the division and 7-2 overall. Newark East Side is returning the most talent in the division, so don't be surprised they continue their success. However, creeping up behind them is Dwight-Morrow. Finishing the season with an 8-1 record, Dwight-Morrow's only loss on the season was to East Side. Look for them to redeem themselves in 2024., and also be on the watch for others to emerge within the division. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1022238"],"_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":"The do it all player for Dwight-Morrow's offense, quarterback [player_tooltip player_id='1022238' first='Damani' last='Williams'] earned 1st team all division as he lead a lethal offensive attack.

A true dual threat, Damani threw the ball to the end zone 7 times last season as well as ran in another 8. And with 938 yards through the air and another 740 on the ground, don't be surprised if Damani surpasses the 1000 yard mark for both in 2024.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-65411b575a0be"} /--> <!-- 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":"Jakem Brown","_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":"null","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_weight":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_weight":"field_65b288425ecf6","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"Newark East Side","_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":"A receiver that has the potential to become a top target in the state,  Jakem Brown has all the measurements and skills required to dominate in 2024. The Newark East Side receiver hauled in 320 yards and 6 touchdowns last season, and I would not be the least bit surprised if Jakem put up 10 touchdowns and got close to 1000 yards in 2024. With the height to out jump any defender, Jakem can terrorize defenses in the red zone. What stands out the most is Jakem is not only quick with his agility, but also can truck defenders if he so chooses. Newark East Side will be the most dominate aerial attack in the Ivy White division next year.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-65411b575a169"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/hudl {"name":"acf/hudl","data":{"embed_code":"u003ciframe src='https://www.hudl.com/embed/video/3/16347902/6584812715f60d01dc08a5ec' width='640' height='360' frameborder='0' allowfullscreenu003eu003c/iframeu003ev","_embed_code":"field_62daf7995fd8c"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-656d2413bc520"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1032186"],"_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 quarterback with great statute,  [player_tooltip player_id='1032186' first='Jason' last='Marasciulo'] of Cliffside Park has the potential to elevate his team to the next level.

As a receiver, Malachi can break in and out of cuts with precision, forcing defenders to always trail him.

Xavier really displayed flashes of excellence last season as his mobility and fluidity made it very challenging for defenses to contain him. With a cannon of an arm as well, Xavier has the ability to outthrow the coverage and find his man deep downfield. Xavier will rise on the NJ rankings very quickly, with the possibility of becoming g a top 5 QB in the state very soon.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-65411b575a2cb"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/hudl {"name":"acf/hudl","data":{"embed_code":"u003ciframe src='https://www.hudl.com/embed/video/3/17841558/65a76b18c123eb032c337ba3' width='640' height='360' frameborder='0' allowfullscreenu003eu003c/iframeu003e","_embed_code":"field_62daf7995fd8c"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-656741a275c00"} /-->
