In their playoff exit, Holmes completed 31-of-50 passes for 244 yards, three touchdowns, and two interceptions. His ability to anticipate routes and deliver passes into tight windows was on full display, with several throws landing perfectly on target. He excelled at creating opportunities for his receivers, allowing them to shine in open space. Holmes's leadership and composure were evident all season, consistently rallying his team in tough moments. His pocket presence and football IQ made him a consistent threat.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1571640"],"_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-6750b69fa157c"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Applegate turned in a near-perfect performance in the first round, going 10-of-12 for 264 yards and three touchdowns while adding six carries for 71 yards and two rushing touchdowns. His efficiency and dual-threat ability kept defenses off-balance throughout the game. Applegate's versatility extended to the defensive side, where he recorded three solo tackles and one assisted tackle, rounding out an impressive all-around effort. A true playmaker, Applegate showcased his ability to excel both in and out of the pocket, using his athleticism to extend plays and capitalize on scoring opportunities. Already committed to baseball at the next level, Applegate's gridiron performance proves he could be a standout in football as well, highlighting his remarkable athleticism and competitive spirit.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1215735"],"_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-6750b69fa15f6"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Ishmael was a force for Frederick this season, delivering one of his top performances in the playoffs. In the second round, Ishmael completed 24-of-48 passes for 314 yards and two touchdowns while adding 128 rushing yards and a touchdown on 17 carries. His dual-threat ability made him a constant challenge for defenses, capable of beating opponents with both his arm and his legs. Ishmael's ability to extend plays and create scoring opportunities was critical to Frederick's success. His combination of athleticism, a strong arm, and leadership make him one of the most exciting prospects in the 4A division. Colleges looking for a dynamic quarterback will find a star in Ishmael, as he continues to prove he's a complete player.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["744235"],"_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-6750b69fa166b"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Riehl's steady presence was crucial for Mesa Ridge, and his playoff performance was no different. In the third round, he went 17-of-25 for 242 yards and one touchdown while adding 20 rushing yards and a score on the ground. Riehl consistently made the right reads and delivered accurate throws, keeping his team competitive. A multi-sport athlete now focused on basketball, Riehl's versatility and athleticism are evident in every game he plays. Whether he chooses football or basketball, Riehl has the tools to succeed at the next level, combining strong leadership with a high ceiling for growth.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1366222"],"_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-6750b69fa16df"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Seese was the ultimate Swiss Army knife for Heritage, contributing in multiple ways during their playoff run. He completed 16-of-29 passes for 288 yards and three touchdowns while adding 92 rushing yards and a score on 11 carries. On special teams, he delivered four punts for 163 yards, further demonstrating his versatility. Seese's accuracy and athleticism made him a constant threat, both as a passer and a runner. His all-around ability and leadership have cemented him as one of the top returning quarterbacks in the 4A division. With another year to develop, Seese is poised to attract significant attention heading into next season</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1572660"],"_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-6750c0081b06a"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Montemayor delivered a standout performance in Monarch's first-round playoff game, showcasing his versatility as both a passer and a runner. He went 10-of-16 for 138 yards and one passing touchdown while adding six carries for 24 yards and two rushing touchdowns. Montemayor used his size effectively in short-yardage situations, powering his way into the end zone when it mattered most. Primarily a pocket passer, Montemayor displayed the ability to sling the ball to all areas of the field with precision. His strong arm and field vision make him a dangerous weapon against any defense. With his combination of poise, versatility, and athleticism, Montemayor is a player to watch closely this offseason. He has the tools to compete at the next level and will undoubtedly draw attention as a promising quarterback prospect.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
