Week 9 Game Balls Part 1 below:</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1213655"],"_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-671ec747b4451"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Uncommitted top 2025 prospect [player_tooltip player_id='1213655' first='Chase' last='Loftis'] is closing his final season for Loudoun Valley strong. Nearly at the 100 tackle mark, Loftis is helping the Viking push for a playoff run. The Vikings will need everything from Loftis as post-season play begins, he seems to always be the first one to the ball. Attracting interest from several division 2 and 3 schools up and down the east coast, Loftis is going to make whichever institution he picks at the next level very happy. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/chase_loftis_/status/1850555216896065892","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/chase_loftis_/status/1850555216896065892 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1231251"],"_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-671ec9a31c042"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Had to see him up close to see what the hype was about and he certainly proved it. Safety/receiver [player_tooltip player_id='1231251' first='Brayden' last='Humpherys'] looks like a FCS level or higher player in person. Humpherys impact is felt early and often at both safety and receiver the kid is a force. On Friday night he made an acrobatic play leaping into the endzone on the extra point try which would give the Hornets a lead they would not let go off. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The reason being is that Humpherys and the Coach Richards defense is one of the best in the state and the shut down Marshall the rest of the way. Humpherys himself had two fourth down stops including one right before halftime. He also had a couple of receptions to add on in his big night and was at James Madison the very next day. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/BraydenHumpher1/status/1850369486932627602","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/BraydenHumpher1/status/1850369486932627602 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1232886"],"_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-671ec9a31c083"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='1232886' first='John' last='Costello'] is one of a number of hidden playmakers the Herndon Hornets have at their disposal. The running back took a 35 yard ISO play right through the heart of the Marshall Statesmen's defense to give his team a resounding victory. He hits the hole with such fury and speed, I would not want to tackle him in the open field. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/John_costello2/status/1850309169053577503","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/John_costello2/status/1850309169053577503 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1231611"],"_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-671ec9a31c0bf"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Remember when I told you [player_tooltip player_id='1231611' first='Trent' last='Pane'] wins game, well guess what he did it again in the Bruins win over the Spartans! Notching 4 sacks to bring his season total to 12, Pane is a one man wrecking crew at times for Lake Braddock. I love how he diagnoses plays before the huddle and it looks like he did more of that this past Friday night. One of the smarter football players I have watched, he deserves more opportunities at the next level.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1236900"],"_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-671ec9a31c0fa"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Lake Braddock has a great senior class but their 2026 class is not to be slept on especially [player_tooltip player_id='1236900' first='Khaleed' last='Cash']. Like his name (no pun intended) he is money at corner for the Bruins and will for sure be a stock riser in our next class rankings. Very physical at the point of attack Cash has two interceptions so far in his junior season. With big time wide receiver matchups waiting, expect to see Cash lined up ready to make his impact. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/CashKhaleed/status/1843694964712296670","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/CashKhaleed/status/1843694964712296670 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1231573"],"_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-671ec9a31c136"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='1231573' first='Tyler' last='Orth'] and the South County Stallions seem to have their mojo back and that should come quite handy with the playoff run looming. Back at receiver where it is his natural fit, Orth had a big homecoming night with 2 touchdowns and over 100 yards receiving. The Stallions are better when Orth is on the outside as he is an all-state wideout who just makes things happen with the ball in his hands. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/TOrth25/status/1850611011063017610","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/TOrth25/status/1850611011063017610 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1232434"],"_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-671ec9a31c171"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Westfield is quietly making noise at the perfect time and [player_tooltip player_id='1232434' first='Troy' last='Lucas'] is leading the way on defense. In the Bulldogs big win over Oakton he once again had a monster outing with 14 tackles and sack. I am telling you he is always the first one to the football because it's true. Lucas could play linebacker or safety at the next level in my opinion. He has the speed and range to do either and also moonlights for the Westfield track and field team. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The showcases are back once again and we are excited they are coming to Virginia this January!
