PRZVA Team Preview: Mount Vernon Majors

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Last Years Result: 5-6 (Fell to Lake Braddock in the Class 6 Region C Quarterfinals)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The Mount Vernon Majors snuck into the playoffs last year only to have their season come to a quick halt after a matchup with eventual Region Champion Lake Braddock.

Earning First team all-district selections Moret is the big play threat Mount Vernon will depend upon once again. Head Coach Isaiah Taylor will have to find new ways to get Moret the football with defenses bound to be keying on him. My take on this is that this young man always finds ways to get open and even being double teamed will not slow him down.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/Matthew_Moret27/status/1724098460968690160","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/Matthew_Moret27/status/1724098460968690160 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1396207"],"_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-66c3c0be7780c"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">The center of what would should be a very talented offensive line is [player_tooltip player_id='1396207' first='Austin' last='Meixwell']. Like a number of his returning teammates, Meixwell earned second team all district honors as a junior.
