<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>These running backs have a chance to run wild this weekend in the final four of the playoffs...</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["321475"],"_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-674d1bf4b85b5"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">One of the very best running backs across the country, this big, powerful running back with impressive speed, burst, and the ability to score anytime he has the ball. The Georgia Bulldog commitment has had an incredible career and is hoping to keep it going against an incredibly talented Milton defense. Kromah, a tackle-breaking machine, has rushed for 1,290 yards this season with 15 touchdowns. He's big, fast, strong, shows great vision, and will see plenty of carries come his way with the season on the line. He's the No. 1 running back prospect in the state and has a chance to prove why on Friday night.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"[player_tooltip player_id='1576146' first='Canton' last='Williams']","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"2026","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"5'9u0022","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_weight":"170","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_weight":"field_65b288425ecf6","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"Lee County","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_0_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-674d1bf4b86b0"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">A quick, shifty back who shares the load at Lee County with star running back [player_tooltip player_id='321475' first='Ousmane' last='Kromah'], Williams gives the Lee County offense a speedy runner who can really take off down the field. He shows good vision, patience, burst, and has been a very reliable option all year long. This promising junior is one of the best in the area for his class and is having an excellent 2024 season so far, rushing for 630 yards and 11 touchdowns this season while averaging an impressive 9 yards a carry. He's a 2026 back who has a chance to see his recruitment pick up in the offseason.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1566845"],"_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-674d1bf4b8710"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">An outstanding back who led the way for one of the best teams not only in Georgia but across the country, Lester is still one of the more underrated backs you'll find in Georgia. He brings plenty of size, change of direction, explosiveness, and the ability to stay upright after initial contact. He's so tough to bring down and does a great job of breaking tackles and picking up extra yards down the field. He's run for an eye-opening 1,477 yards and 22 touchdowns this season and has made it look easy at times. Over his last two playoff games, Lester has run for over 300 yards and four touchdowns. Look for him to keep running hard against Lee County on Friday night.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["908951"],"_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-674d1bf4b8754"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">One of the top 2026 running backs across the South, Baker is one of the fastest backs in Georgia and already holds offers from some of the best programs in college football. He's a long-strider who picks up yards in a hurry and does is with an impressive frame. He's big enough to bowl over defenders with enough speed to take off on any particular play. The Atlanta-area back has run for 1,039 yards and 10 touchdowns this season. He rushed for over 100 yards last week in a big win over Thomas County Central and is hoping to do something similar against a tough Coffee team.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["908911"],"_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-674d1bf4b8794"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">One of the most productive backs across the state this fall, this South Georgia senior ran wild this fall for an incredible 2,090 yards so far with 26 touchdowns. He's rushed for at least 200 yards in each of his last three games, and last week, he set a single-game rushing record with an amazing 605 yards and seven touchdowns during Coffee's big 72-28 win over Sequoyah. He's been almost unstoppable this year and will have to run through an extremely talented Langston Hughes defense this weekend. Still, expect Woodgett to have a big game no matter what the scoreboard says. He's having a special playoffs and will attempt to keep up his incredible play on Friday night. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->

These running backs have a chance to run wild this weekend in the final four of the playoffs...
