He had 3 receptions in their victory last week and seems to be a player the Bruins can count on as the season progresses. Forest Park knows that teams will be keying on Hunt as they begin district play, if players like Swift can step up and keep the pressure off, look out come playoff time.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/CollinSwift16/status/1835006355440030119","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/CollinSwift16/status/1835006355440030119 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1297914"],"_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-66eb7d87a161d"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='1297914' first='Harry' last='Maltese'] has been everything as the lead back for Fairfax offense, one of the leaders in rushing yards so far, he is playing excellent football. A bruiser back with good speed, coming into the year Maltese was a top ranked linebacker but has stepped up for the Lions offense. In both wins he lead the way with well over 100 yards on the ground and a number of scores. The junior has stepped up when his team has needed him now more than ever.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/HarryMaltese/status/1835075720466313692","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/HarryMaltese/status/1835075720466313692 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1466579"],"_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-66eb7d87a165c"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Wakefield's [player_tooltip player_id='1466579' first='Isaiah' last='Ledbetter'] has true speed which I saw up close a couple weeks ago.

He bulldozed and ran all over Hylton's defense last week with three rushing scores and 125 yards on the ground. Armstead is a tank back their, one of his touchdowns he dragged multiple defenders with him into the endzone. Where he is going to play at the next level is at linebacker in my opinion, but man is he fun to watch carry the football. An old school running back who can beat with both speed and power!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><a href="[player_tooltip player_id='1234389' first='Elijah' last='Armstead'] HUDL">[player_tooltip player_id='1234389' first='Elijah' last='Armstead'] HUDL</a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["853859"],"_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-66eb7d87a16cd"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='853859' first='Ricky' last='Adkins'] can play and there are many reasons he is ranked in class of 2026 top 100, there is not a deep ball that he can't track down. Adkins has elite FBS level speed for North Stafford and last week he showed that with his 2 touchdown, 131 receiving yard performance. Also starring for the track team Adkins is one of the top long jumpers in the state and he has a 3.2 GPA.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/RickyAdkins_/status/1836558169297793387","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/RickyAdkins_/status/1836558169297793387 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1236315"],"_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-66eb7d87a1704"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='1236315' first='Isiah' last='Maxwell'] is off to a torrid start for the Skyline Hawks making himself one of the top priorities for several colleges across the east coast. Maxwell caught some bombs last week and is showing you why Mcdaniel College has made a beeline for his services. He is explosive after the catch and with a new quarterback getting more comfortable in their system, his number should only go up. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><a href="[player_tooltip player_id='1236315' first='Isiah' last='Maxwell'] HUDL">[player_tooltip player_id='1236315' first='Isiah' last='Maxwell'] HUDL</a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1466605"],"_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-66eb7d87a173a"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Going to be covering the Marshall tomorrow night when they travel to face Madison and [player_tooltip player_id='1466605' first='Joshua' last='Paine'] is one of many players the Statesmen have that I am curious to see. Marshall is off to a fast start and are rolling offensively thanks to a number of playmakers and a good offensive line. Paine always seems to standout on tape at both receiver and as a kick returner, he has true game changing speed. Facing a Warhawks defense which statistically is one of the best in the states tomorrow will be no easy task for Paine and company. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1297724"],"_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-66eb7d87a1771"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='1297724' first='Trevion' last='Campbell'] is a star in the making for the Stallions, very impressed with his route running and explosion after the catch. Last week in the first half, South County was struggling a bit offensively which makes sense considering they have just had a quarterback change. When new starter and all-state receiver needed a play, it was Campbell answering the bell for him. He made a couple of key receptions including a 4th down touchdown that helped sparked the Stallions offense. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
