What impresses me about MacIntyre's playstyle is his ability to quickly adapt to pressure with his solid footwork in the pocket. I also like how MacIntyre can efficiently scan the backfield and complete the deep pass in crucial moments.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><a href="http://www.hudl.com/video/3/16021263/64ef754f4debd309b83dfd99">Tape:</a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["824736"],"_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-66c9013be380d"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">I am additionally impressed with [player_tooltip player_id='824736' first='Owen' last='Cabell'], a wide receiver at Christ Presbyterian Academy. What makes Cabell so explosive on the offensive end is his excellent breakaway speed, showcasing his ability to pull ahead of the defense in the backfield and get in prime position for the deep pass. I also like how Cabell can haul in the short pass from along the edge, proving his strong catching ability.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><a href="http://www.hudl.com/v/2N3NCL">Tape:</a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["219449"],"_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-66c9013be387a"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Claiming the number three spot on my list is [player_tooltip player_id='219449' first='Tamari' last='Hill'], a running back at Brentwood Academy. Hill stands out with his size and electric speed, proving he can punch through the defensive line as well as get open for the pass. I also like how Hill can utilize his strength to bully the defense and quickly get open for the deep pass in crucial moments.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><a href="http://www.hudl.com/v/2LaidC">Tape:</a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["219407"],"_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-66c9013be38df"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Another skilled prospect to watch for is [player_tooltip player_id='219407' first='Kolbe' last='Harmon'], a defensive back at Brentwood Academy. Harmon impresses me with his ability to play both sides, proving he can both haul in the deep pass and be disruptive on the other side of the ball. Harmon also stands out with his physical edge, showing off his ability to stay in front of the ball despite heavy defensive pressure.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><a href="http://www.hudl.com/video/3/16297885/64fb95434deb1d12909750a0">Tape:</a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1269236"],"_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-66c9013be393f"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Coming in at number five on my list is [player_tooltip player_id='1269236' first='Knox' last='McLean'], a tight end at Christ Presbyterian Academy. McLean makes a considerable difference offensively, showcasing his ability to be versatile down the stretch and absorb defensive pressure on his way to the backfield. Another aspect of McLean that impresses me is his ability to elevate off the ground to make the challenging catch.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><a href="http://www.hudl.com/v/2MEKab">Tape:</a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["323140"],"_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-66c9013be399d"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Also worth mentioning is [player_tooltip player_id='323140' first='Brady' last='Smith'], an offensive lineman at Christ Presbyterian Academy. Smith makes a huge difference at the line of scrimmage with his size and strength, showing off his ability to absorb pressure and contain the defense when it matters most. I also like how Smith can knock the defense to the ground, create chaos in the pocket and open up space for his team to run the ball.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><a href="http://www.hudl.com/video/3/16129020/656a7830d469310830f40398">Tape:</a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>I fully expect an explosive matchup between the Eagles and the Lions considering last season's contest came down to the wire. Christ Presbyterian Academy escaped Brentwood Academy 17-16. With [player_tooltip player_id='219419' first='George' last='MacIntyre'] at the helm of the Eagles' offense once again, I predict a strong offensive showing from Brentwood Academy. Another playmaker on the Eagles' roster to look out for is [player_tooltip player_id='219449' first='Tamari' last='Hill'] as he has proven to quickly move the ball and haul in the deep pass. The Lions also have some offensive talent in [player_tooltip player_id='824736' first='Owen' last='Cabell'] as well as [player_tooltip player_id='1269236' first='Knox' last='McLean'], who should both be a challenge to contain down the stretch. Despite a strong offensive performance from the Lions, I predict Brentwood Academy will prevail over Christ Presbyterian Academy in this year's matchup, winning 21-14.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Score: <strong>Brentwood Academy 21 CPA 14</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
