<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Today we will be looking at the players that were able to help there team on the offensive end to move to the next round. These are the players that you will need to know for round 2.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>It is that time again and now is the time to hurry and sign up! The Stock Up Showcase is back! Make sure you use code: DavisPRZ2024 to get money off of registration!

With 20 carries for 163 yards and a touchdown, he provided the steady push his team needed, averaging a remarkable eight yards per carry. His performance was crucial in keeping the chains moving and energizing his team. Llamas repeatedly made the first defender miss, showcasing both agility and strength as he powered through tackles, often picking up chunk yards. His ability to maintain forward momentum kept his team's offense on the field, wearing down the opposing defense. This game is an excellent foundation for Llamas to build on, and he'll carry the confidence from this performance into his next matchup. As Grandview heads into a tough game against conference rival Cherry Creek High School, Llamas will be a central figure in his team's offensive strategy, aiming to replicate this game's success and help push his team deeper into the playoffs.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["404991"],"_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-6732a7a119f3d"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Smith put together an efficient and reliable performance, completing 10 of 14 passes for 120 yards and two touchdowns. For a player looking to minimize turnovers, this game served as a perfect example of careful, smart play. Smith made accurate reads and maintained steady control over the offense, helping to keep the defense off-balance. His ability to manage the game and avoid costly mistakes was vital, and his efficient play was complemented by a strong ground game, creating a balanced offensive attack. This outing builds momentum for Smith as he heads into the next round, where he'll need to continue this level of precision. If he can keep defenses guessing and stay sharp in his reads, Smith could be a key asset in Cherokee Trails' playoff run, adding further pressure to opposing teams with his composure and accuracy.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1555723"],"_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-6732a7a119fa4"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Bacon made a name for himself with a big game, especially for a younger back. He carried the ball 24 times, racking up 115 yards and one touchdown, nearly averaging five yards per carry. Bacon showcased impressive explosiveness, frequently making the first defender miss to pick up crucial extra yards. His ability to keep drives alive with steady gains helped control the game's tempo and kept his offense moving downfield. In a team brimming with young talent, Bacon stands out as a reliable and dynamic contributor. His consistent play and ability to keep the chains moving will make him a key player to watch as Regis Jesuit advances to the next round. With momentum and experience on his side, Bacon has the potential to make a significant impact as his team looks to make a deep playoff run.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1296066"],"_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-6732a7a119ff0"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Kubat put on a show with a stellar dual-threat performance. He threw for 408 yards, completing 29 of 45 passes and racking up three touchdowns. Kubat didn't stop there, as he also rushed for 51 yards on 11 carries, highlighting his versatility as both a passer and a runner. His ability to get the offense moving early and maintain that momentum was essential to Fossil Ridge's success, allowing him to connect with his playmakers and keep the defense on its heels. Kubat's talent for reading defenses and making plays on the fly adds an extra layer of danger to his game, making him a difficult player to contain. With his team advancing, Kubat's name will remain one to know as he continues to shine under the playoff spotlight.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1113001"],"_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-6732a7a11a030"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Tackitt had a standout game on the ground, rushing 16 times for 147 yards and a touchdown. Tackitt's explosive runs opened up opportunities in the passing game, and his ability to break through to the second level of the defense allowed him to pick up chunk yardage with ease. Averaging nearly 10 yards per carry, Tackitt's performance was a testament to his vision and burst, as he continually found lanes and powered through defenders. His ability to consistently move the chains made him a crucial asset for his team, and he'll be a player to watch in the next round. As he looks to duplicate this success, Tackitt's momentum and dynamic playmaking will be vital for Arapahoe's offensive success.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1137635"],"_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-6732a7a11a083"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Smart turned heads with a remarkable receiving performance, catching five passes for 118 yards and three touchdowns. Smart accounted for most of his team's receiving yards, using his combination of size and speed to create mismatches all over the field. His deep-ball ability and precise route running allowed him to gain separation and pose a constant threat to opposing defenses. Smart's knack for finding the end zone made him an invaluable playmaker in this game, and he's set to play a big role as his team advances. His combination of athleticism and football IQ makes him a difficult matchup, and he'll continue to be a key factor as his team moves forward in the playoffs.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["522704"],"_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-6732a7a11a0e5"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">In perhaps the most eye-catching performance of the weekend, Symalla rushed for a stunning 291 yards on 24 carries, scoring three touchdowns. Symalla's outing solidified him as one of the top backs in the state, as he showcased an exceptional blend of vision, speed, and power. He repeatedly broke through the defense, consistently picking up big yards and giving his team a huge boost. Symalla's ability to control the game on the ground set the tone, allowing Arvada West to dominate offensively. This momentum will be essential as he heads into the second round, where he'll look to replicate this standout performance.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->

Today we will be looking at the players that were able to help there team on the offensive end to move to the next round. These are the players that you will need to know for round 2.
