Vellaithambi plays with a level of consistency that may cause some to overlook his weekly dominance but that's why he has numerous D1 programs trying to earn his signature come Signing Day.

Milburn totaled 237 yards passing in the 28-21 win and was happy to have his top target back this week in 2025 WR [player_tooltip player_id='487105' first='Gavin' last='Young']. He's noticeably a year bigger and stronger since the flashes we saw from him as a freshman and is steadily progressing. Milburn looked poised on film with good pocket movement and delivered a pair of impressive corner route throws on film. He also trusted his receivers to go up and make a play on several of his passes which was good to see for a young QB. The Hedgesville schedule is about to become much tougher in the coming weeks and we'll be following to see if he can elevate his game against stiffer competition as the next step in his early career. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/hudl {"name":"acf/hudl","data":{"embed_code":"u003ciframe src='https://www.hudl.com/embed/video/3/17734914/66dd01cc6c13ae72e60d3bf3' width='640' height='360' frameborder='0' allowfullscreenu003eu003c/iframeu003e","_embed_code":"field_62daf7995fd8c"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-66df4a02e1f09"} /--> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='866253' first='Kylan' last='Grace'] - 2026 Hurricane RB | <em>13 carries 119 yards 3 touchdowns </em></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1426797' first='Konnor' last='Ray'] - Woodrow Wilson RB | <em>11 carries 124 yards 1 touchdown</em></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>WEEK THREE GAME OF THE WEEK</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:heading {"level":3} --> <h3 class="wp-block-heading">Parkersburg South at Woodrow Wilson</h3> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The (2-0) Woodrow Wilson Flying Eagles will host (1-1) Parkersburg South on Friday night in what should be one of the best games of the week in Class AAAA. Woodrow Wilson looks to remain unbeaten and move to 3-0 on the season but Parkersburg South will have something to say about that. The Patriots improved from week one to week two with some new pieces this season that just need experience and time to settle in and could end up being a much different and better team come playoff time. On the flip side, Woodrow Wilson returns a lot of senior talent this season and could have one of their best teams in recent memory in 2024. They'll be difficult to prepare for in their Wing-T offense with some big bodies up front and playmakers on the outside when needed. South will be formidable foes in this matchup with the potential to play spoilers on Woodrow Wilson's home field but the Eagles should have the edge at this early stage of the season. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Score Prediction:</strong> Woodrow Wilson 27 Parkersburg South 20</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
