LR Parkview 51 Maumelle 6: Top Performers + Post Game Review

<p>The highly anticipated week one matchup did not end in a close game as most had expected. Parkview was up 9-0 at halftime as both offenses struggled to gain consistency and move the football downfield early on. Parkview's three field goals came from the great field position created by their defense. The defenses were crucial in the first half. In the second half, the Patriots exploded onto the scene offensively and defensively. I lost track of how many turnovers their defense forced. In the second half alone, Parkview only ran ten offensive plays and yet scored 42 points. </p>   <p>This game garnered a lot of attention because of the talented prospects on both teams. Players like Oklahoma commit [player_tooltip player_id='236139' first='Omarion' last='Robinson'], Kansas State commit [player_tooltip player_id='188134' first='Monterrio' last='Elston Jr.'], and Arkansas commit [player_tooltip player_id='865679' first='Cameron' last='Settles'], as well as highly sought-after 4-star recruit [player_tooltip player_id='413517' first='Anthony' last='Kennedy'], were among the notable names involved.</p>   <p>You can check out our pregame preview <em><a href="https://prepredzone.com/2024/09/w1-game-preview-maumelle-vs-little-rock-parkview/">here</a></em>!</p>   <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Top Performers: </h2>    <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='188134' first='Monterrio' last='Elston Jr.'] was all over the field, out wide and in the backfield. Elston's night resulted in three carries for 45 yards (15 YPC) and one touchdown. He also dominated out wide with six receptions for 96 yards (16 AVG) and a touchdown. He displayed good post-snap vision to read the defensive front and locate the running lane to burst through. He demonstrated elusiveness in the open field due to good lateral agility, and fluid movement within his cuts, allowing himself to change direction quickly with control. </p>   <p><strong>COMMITMENT: Kansas State (July 6th, 2024)</strong></p>   <p><em>Offer List: Arkansas, Arkansas Baptist, Arkansas State, Arkansas-Pine Bluff, Central Arkansas, Georgia Tech, Kansas State, Missouri, Memphis & UNLV.</em></p>   <p>Note – 4.4 40</p>   <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/monterrioelston/status/1819501417096159601 </div></figure>     <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='309401' first='Jacob' last='Henry'] was one of the few bright spots for the Hornets' offense on Friday night. Henry gave the Hornets their only points of the night with a 61-yard touchdown in the second half. He finished his night with 11 carriers for 159 yards (14.5 YPC) and a touchdown. He displayed good elusiveness due to his lateral agility, change of direction, and burst, enabling him to make sharp cuts or accelerate upfield quickly. Henry was able to break a variety of tackles due to his good leg drive, balance, and lower body power to create additional yardage. </p>   <p><em>Offer List: Arkansas State & Central Arkansas</em></p>   <p class="text-gray-700">Note – 4.0 GPA</p>   <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/_jacobhenry/status/1829957616543383736 </div></figure>     <p class="text-gray-700">In the first half, [player_tooltip player_id='1425461' first='Salomon' last='Aguilar'] was the star for Little Rock Parkview.

His strong leg, consistency, and ability to get his team points lit a fire under his teammates, who came out and dominated the second half.
