PRZVA Team Preview: Osbourn Park Yellow Jackets

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Last Years Result: 1-9</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>New Head Coach Robert Holland knows the tall task he has on hand taking over for the Osbourn Park Yellow Jackets. His new club is currently on a nine game losing streak and are looking to snap that as soon as possible. Speaking with Coach the past couple of weeks, you can tell he has already embraced the grind and so has Osbourn Park. Coach Holland has a good group of returning starters that may just lead him to a successful season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Key-Returnees:</strong> [player_tooltip player_id='1345930' first='Arbnor' last='Morina'] (Center) JR: 6'3 300lbs [player_tooltip player_id='1298519' first='Derron' last='Danquah'] (WR/DB) JR: 5'11 165lbs [player_tooltip player_id='1345928' first='David' last='Fitzgerald'] (LB) SR: 6'0 210lbs [player_tooltip player_id='1345931' first='Neariah' last='Price'] (RB/LB) JR 5'6 160lbs [player_tooltip player_id='1345932' first='Aaryan' last='Patel'] (QB) JR 5'8 170lbs</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":[1699557],"_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":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-669fb10587262"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">The big man in the middle of Osbourn Park's offensive line is back to command the huddle from his Center position. Morina is 6'3 and 300 lbs., that could really be a nice building block for Coach Holland in his rebuild. His footwork is coming along as he will need to make adjustments with the new offense that is being brought in. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Starting a good big as a sophomore, Morina has the size and strength that you want if you are college coach, once he gets his footwork in order he could be a really good player.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1298519"],"_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":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-669fb105872ef"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">I like [player_tooltip player_id='1298519' first='Derron' last='Danquah'] to have an all-district type of season at both receiver and free safety as he enters his junior campaign. A top 100 ranked athlete Danquah is a good tough route runner at receiver and a fierce no fear tackler at safety.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The Yellow Jackets would be wise to call more deep shots for him on offense, he is one of the fastest kids in the Western District. Running a sub 4.6 40, Danquah is a non-stop competitor at free safety, there are countless times on tape that you can see the heart he plays with. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><a href="[player_tooltip player_id='1298519' first='Derron' last='Danquah'] HUDL">[player_tooltip player_id='1298519' first='Derron' last='Danquah'] HUDL</a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1345928"],"_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":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-669fb10587392"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Middle Linebacker [player_tooltip player_id='1345928' first='David' last='Fitzgerald'] is back in his starting role leading to what should be a significantly improved Osbourn Park defense. He is stout against the run and coverage skills are not too shabby either. Fitzgerald even stepped in to play on the offensive line last year when his squad was decimated by injuries, he is a true team player. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/David_55_5/status/1719814866456764746","type":"rich","providerNameSlug":"twitter","responsive":true} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/David_55_5/status/1719814866456764746 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1345931"],"_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":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-669fb10587400"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Junior to be [player_tooltip player_id='1345931' first='Neariah' last='Price'] is a tough hybrid linebacker/corner who can do a variety of things defensively for the Yellow Jackets. I can see why they line him on the outside as he has the speed and footwork to keep up with skill guys in his pass defense. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>One of the team leaders in tackles, Price will pop you in the mouth and is not one to take lightly when carrying the football.

Based on his tape I could see him being another option at wideout for Patel and defensively he could play linebacker or safety. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A special teams ace Kuhn has good size and speed that should translate nicely with his new team.

The kids have bought in and made enormous strides quickly. If we continue to execute and focus on the details how we stress in practice then the sky's the limit with this group. They have a sense of urgency and aren't afraid of stepping up to the challenge. I'm very excited for the season to begin as I'm sure we'll open some eyes and get the ball rolling.</em> “ Head Coach Robert Holland</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Season Outlook:</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Make no mistake it will be tough sledding for Coach Holland and the Yellow Jackets but you can tell this team is hungry for a change. Getting a victory week 1 against Manassas Park and Hylton week 2 could go a long way. While I would not forecast Osbourn Park as a playoff team in year one of the Coach Holland era, I do think they will be much more competitive. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>If you are looking to subscribe please feel free to use my coupon code Frederick30 for a 30 % discount!</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
