Right now, he looks like the top cornerback in the state, showing consistency and impact against elite competition.   <a href="https://twitter.com/SunilSportsNews/status/1850308172013019146">https://twitter.com/SunilSportsNews/status/1850308172013019146</a>     [player_tooltip player_id='343145' first='Delaney' last='Fludd'] was a force on Bergen Catholic's defensive line, setting the tone early and maintaining pressure through both halves. The 6'2” interior lineman made life difficult for St. Joe's quarterback, [player_tooltip player_id='595189' first='Mason' last='Geis'], and his impact was felt right from the start. Fludd's massive sack in the first half swung momentum toward Bergen Catholic, igniting their defense and fueling a dominant performance. His presence in the trenches was a driving factor in Bergen's win, paving the way for their defensive success and setting up a victory over a tough St. Joe's team.       [player_tooltip player_id='475348' first='Jahmir' last='Joseph'] showcased precisely why he's regarded as New Jersey's top cornerback and why Penn State eagerly awaits him. The St. Joe's standout has the full package: size, length, elite movement, and instincts that set him apart. Against Bergen Catholic, Joseph's instincts shone through with two critical interceptions. One came in the red zone, halting a Bergen scoring drive and keeping his team in the game. While St. Joe's didn't secure the win, Joseph's performance was a reminder of his immense skill and the impact he brings to every game.   <a href="https://twitter.com/ByLuisTorres/status/1850247411458884000">https://twitter.com/ByLuisTorres/status/1850247411458884000</a>     A.J. Revella was a disruptive force for St. Joe's, making his presence known early. In the first half, he came up with a pivotal sack deep in Bergen Catholic territory, turning the momentum and energizing the defense. Revella's impact didn't stop there; he came through with a tackle for loss in run defense, halting another Bergen drive and keeping St. Joe's within reach. Though his most significant plays came in the first half, A.J.'s performance as a pass rusher and run defender kept the game tight and underscored his ability to influence the game on both fronts      [player_tooltip player_id='284069' first='Najee' last='Calhoun'] again proved he's Bergen Catholic's go-to closer. Building off his momentum from last week, he delivered a consistent performance right from the start. But in the fourth quarter, he showed why he was invaluable to Bergen Catholic's offense. Grinding out formidable five to six-yard gains, he wore down St. Joe's defense. Then, he sealed the game with a 20-plus yard run, putting Bergen Catholic at the goal line. With the defense on its heels, Najee capped the drive with a one-yard touchdown, giving Bergen a comfortable lead. In back-to-back weeks, Calhoun has proven he's the finisher Bergen Catholic needs when the game's on the line.   <a href="https://twitter.com/edaniels77/status/1850255310960705594">https://twitter.com/edaniels77/status/1850255310960705594</a>     [player_tooltip player_id='212398' first='Nate' last='Bailey'] once again proved why he's one of the most versatile talents in New Jersey. Though primarily known as a wide receiver, his impact on the ground stood out in this matchup. Bailey's elusiveness as a running back brought a new dimension to St. Joe's offense, adding a shiftiness that their other backs don't have. He showed toughness and grit, too, taking on the Wildcat quarterback role at the goal line, where he punched in one of St. Joe's two touchdowns. Week after week, Bailey shows he's a multi-dimensional asset, capable of sparking the offense in multiple ways.   <a href="https://twitter.com/ryanwpatti/status/1850231259890331845">https://twitter.com/ryanwpatti/status/1850231259890331845</a>       [player_tooltip player_id='284057' first='Brady' last='Shust'] left a lasting impression with his all-around play for St. Joe's. After missing last season due to injury, he's returned with the physicality and versatility that make him a force on offense. Shust has the size and frame of a future pro, and he plays like it, excelling in both receiving and blocking—his ability to catch through contact and gain yards after makes him a constant threat. But what rounds out his game is his work as a run blocker, where he uses that same physical edge to pave lanes. Shust proves he can impact multiple facets of St. Joe's offense, making him one of their most valuable assets.     [player_tooltip player_id='1270594' first='Jackson' last='Vaughn'], the freshman edge rusher, made his presence known from start to finish. Standing tall with a muscular, long frame, Vaughn looks every bit the part of a top-tier prospect, and his performance backs it up. Though new to the scene, he already holds ten offers and is quickly proving why. His game-clinching sack on St. Joe's final drive showcased his ability to win one-on-one matchups in high-pressure moments. With his physical tools and early starting experience, Vaughn is on track to become one of the nation's elite edge rushers as he gains more reps. The future looks incredibly bright for him.
