Timberland vs Zumwalt North: Top Offensive Performers

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>FT. ZUMWALT NORTH </strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1104666' first='Jayden' last='Noel'] 2026 WR <br>(6'1" 186)<br>- One of the most under the radar prospects in the 2026 class at the moment is the versatile and talented Noel. He has good size, good speed, great hands and skills at both receiver and defensive back, as well as kick returner. Jayden has good understanding of the game and just makes plays all over the field both as a pass catcher and runner. On the night he scored three touchdowns total, two rushing (20 and 10 yards) and one receiving for 33 yards. When he is not making plays himself, Jayden is helping his teammates make them with his strong blocking skills.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1220201' first='Lucas' last='Newcomb']</strong> 2025 QB<br>(6'0" 205)<br>- The senior signal-caller Newcomb had a stellar game running the Panthers offense and getting the ball where it needed to be to maximize his teams chances to score and ultimately win. Lucas is a strong runner who uses his abilities and skill well and is tough to bring down. He also did a nice job on his throws and was really accurate going 7 of 10 for 104 yards and 2 touchdowns on the night. He was equally good as a rusher averaging 7 yards per carry on 11 carries for 77 yards.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Isiah Hayden 2026 OL <br>(6'3" 265)<br>- Hayden has been contributor to the Panthers offensive line since he was a freshman on varsity. His size and skills have both continued to grow, and Isiah has taken on a leadership role with his play and was and is a major factor in the success of the North run game with his blocking ability. He is not just big and strong, but is also agile and quick and plays physical, tough football. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Chase Ostmann</strong> 2025 TE<br>(6'3" 190)<br>- Another strong blocker in the game who showed his receiving skills was the senior tight end Ostmann. He makes for a good target with his height and showed nice hands of the couple of grabs he had for 49 yards in the game, including a nice 23 yard touchdown reception. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>TIMBERLAND </strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Deandre Jones</strong> 2027 WR<br>(5'10" 165)<br>- One of the more promising young receiver prospects in the St. Louis area. The shifty and speedy Jones looks like a big play waiting to happen with his presence on the field. He is a definite playmaker with good hands and the ability to run after the catch. He had 4 catches for 50 yards receiving during the game and another 13 yards rushing on 3 carries. The rising slot receiver seemed close to breaking it for huge yards or a possible score but the Panthers defense was fast and swarmer. A player to keep your eyes on.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Austin Humphrey</strong> 2025 QB <br>(6'1" 175)<br>- The Wolves senior quarterback is getting some college looks while having a productive season throwing for over 1,100 yards and 15 touchdowns on the season, but the Zumwalt North did a good job of limiting him during the game with a lot of pressure. He still made the best of it and managed 117 yards overall passing and rushing while playing hard.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Caden Ford</strong> 2027 OT<br>(6'6" 245)<br>- Another promising younger player for Timberland is their left tackle Ford. He is tall, with long arms and moves very well with good feet He played hard and shows a lot of potential. It'll be interesting to see how he continues to develop both physically and in putting on weight while continuing to get better with his run and pass pro skills. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
