<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Looking at a number of receivers below who had outstanding regular seasons in Virginia:</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1207878"],"_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-673f5ea8c0a99"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Noakes has been Mr. Reliable for the Pioneers and made the difference in their comeback win over Gainesville last week. Trailing midway thru the fourth quarter after a Cardinals touchdown, Noakes took the ensuing kickoff to the house and Patriot never looked back. He has been tremendous since coming over from Unity Reed in the off-season earning first team All Cedar Run District honors. With top star Jackson McCarter still sidelined for reasons unknown, Noakes is making play after play . He had 7 receptions for over 100 yards and 1 touchdown (2 total) against Gainesville, he will be most likely double teamed against Battlefield tomorrow. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1404806"],"_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-673f5ea8c0afd"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Take a minute and look at Maynor's stat line below and think about this, he plays in one of the toughest (if not the best) districts in the state of Virginia. Been high on this dude since week 1 and quite frankly he deserves it. Maynor had 10 receiving touchdowns for Unity Reed and he should be getting interests from colleges across the East Coast. He is 6'5 and can run like a deer, do not tell he can't play at the next level. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/PrestonJordann_/status/1859402851329712508","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/PrestonJordann_/status/1859402851329712508 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1298519"],"_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-673f5ea8c0b40"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Tough sledding in year for Coach Holland and the Osbourn Park Yellow Jackets. Finishing 1-9 stings but man do they have some playmakers in the fold for next year and beyond. Perhaps the one with the biggest upside is [player_tooltip player_id='1298519' first='Derron' last='Danquah'] who put together quite the junior year. Danquah is a mix of speed and strength for the Yellow Jackets offense and he really came along as the season progressed. In their spirited effort against Unity Reed he hauled in 13 receptions for 2 scores! I got a feeling this is not the last time we talk about this young man. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/derrondanquah27/status/1854737857493045666","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/derrondanquah27/status/1854737857493045666 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["853821"],"_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-673f5ea8c0b81"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Murray is an underrated star for the Bobcats and he has been for the past two seasons. The junior is making an impact during Battlefield's playoff run on both sides of the ball. It is hard to ignore Murray on tape, he is 6'2 and can fly. The back and forth battles he will have tomorrow night with the playmakers the Pioneers have will be fun to watch. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1146800"],"_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-673f5ea8c0bff"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">This guy is a star in the making that Cole and I have covered previously at length. [player_tooltip player_id='1146800' first='Darian' last='Coates-Cameron'] capped off his sophomore season with a 17 receptions and 228 yards. While his impact with Episcopal High School may have been felt more on the defensive side, his upside at receiver is hard to ignore. Cameron is 6'3 and up to 190 lbs., he is not done growing into his frame yet either. Already a big target I expect his numbers on offense to double next year, but regardless he is major stock riser.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/Northside_WR2/status/1856357687690158126","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/Northside_WR2/status/1856357687690158126 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["853819"],"_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-673f5ea8c0c3d"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">I was happy to see Osbourn's [player_tooltip player_id='853819' first='Keon' last='Maestas'] get through his junior season injury free and the division 1 prospect is getting his speed back. A good season with 24 receptions for 228 yards and 1 score, he helped spark the Eagles turnaround from a year ago. Maestas missed nearly his entire sophomore season but he grinded his way back to help Osbourn finish with a 6-4 record. Quite the turnaround from their 1-9 mark in 2023, the Eagles earned respect this past fall. Maestas is the key and his offers should pick up again this winter. </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! I can attest to you personally that our showcases are great for kids at every talent level. We have college coaches throughout the country on hand, looking for their next star.
