He ripped off multiple big runs and was an issue for DeKalb from the start. He popped a 33-yard TD run and then later followed it up with a 67-yard TD to help the Lions start to really pull away. Martin finished with well over 100 yards and 2 TDs on the night.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["662335"],"_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-671c67d6dafea"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">It was a big and impressive night for Hoeppner. He opened the scoring on the night with an impressive 78-yard punt return for a TD where he stayed patient, got a block, and hit the gas. He also scored from 3 yards out to give them the lead they never lost. The postseason calls for your best and Hoeppner was up to the challenge tonight.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["366867"],"_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-671c67d6db02b"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">In terms of a standard Schott game, Brock was a bit quiet but he still had a 1-yard TD on the evening. Leo was trying to get him the ball and was dialing up a few deep shots for him. DeKalb did not want to get beat by Schott and did everything they could to slow him down. Defensively he had a few tackles and a sack, but DeKalb's offense was shut down most of the night.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1032218"],"_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-671c67d6db069"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">It was a complete night for Keller from start to finish. There was a point in this game where DeKalb was down 1 possession and rolling. You could feel the momentum wanting to shift but Keller made a key interception in the end zone which ended that drive. It didn't just end the drive, but it felt like that moment took away DeKalb's confidence and they never got it back.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["887006"],"_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-671c67d6db0b3"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">DeKalb's offense was shut down most of the night but Hinkle was the bright spot for them. Not only did he rip off their only score of the night, a 75-yard TD where he found a cutback lane, made a man miss, and outran everyone, but he also added a few big plays in the receiving game. Hinkle finished with over 150 scrimmage yards and the TD on the night.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
