In addition to excellent decision-making, MacIntyre impressed me with his arm strength and accuracy, tossing three touchdown passes.

On top of great size and arm strength, Price impressed me with his ability to shake tackles and run the ball into enemy territory. Price picked up the sole touchdown of the night for the Big Red, finding his way around the defense and into the endzone.   <a href="http://www.hudl.com/v/2PhDxv">Tape:</a>     I was additionally impressed with [player_tooltip player_id='939778' first='Gavin' last='Schaffer'], a linebacker at Brentwood Academy. Schaffer caught my attention on both sides of the ball, proving he could make important stops and be nearly impossible to stop offensively. Schaffer was crucial for the Eagles' offense in the second half, using his size and speed to run in a touchdown from a few yards out to extend the home team's lead.   <a href="http://www.hudl.com/v/2Qaa2v">Tape:</a>     Making his presence known on the ground was [player_tooltip player_id='723428' first='Larry' last='Sanders II'], a running back at Brentwood Academy. Sanders was highly explosive in the pocket, showcasing his ability to find openings in the defensive line and fight for extra steps. Sanders came in clutch in the second half, blasting into the house for the touchdown off a sneaky handoff from MacIntyre.       Another offensive playmaker was [player_tooltip player_id='1102360' first='Luke' last='Robison'], a wide receiver at Brentwood Academy. Robison made his presence known in the second half of the contest, helping the Eagles to take the lead late in the third quarter. What makes Robison so impactful is his ability to capitalize off the short pass, breaking tackles on his way into the endzone.   <a href="https://www.hudl.com/video/3/19646181/66ae5e89b55057cdb8f1b3c2">Tape:</a>     A huge defensive standout was [player_tooltip player_id='212335' first='Easton' last='Jointer'], an athlete at Brentwood Academy. Jointer stood out on the defensive side of the ball, hauling in a clutch interception in the second half, which later resulted in a touchdown for the Eagles. In addition to great height and wingspan, what makes Jointer so dangerous down the stretch is his ability to read the offense like a book and get in prime position for the pick.   <a href="https://www.hudl.com/video/3/19475968/66d51395f013d3e49d13fa4e">Tape:</a>    <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Game Recap</h2>   Brentwood Academy's offense wasted no time on the field as [player_tooltip player_id='219419' first='George' last='MacIntyre'] would quickly connect with [player_tooltip player_id='378855' first='Kesean' last='Bowman'] to put the Eagles up 7-0 on the Big Red with 4:47 remaining in the first quarter.
