<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Bishop McDevitt wins the game if…</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Bishop McDevitt comes into this game trying to win their 2nd State Title in 3 years. McDevitt wins this game if they can get the passing game going with quarterback [player_tooltip player_id='154352' first='Stone' last='Saunders'] and wide receivers [player_tooltip player_id='819722' first='Dominic' last='Diaz-Ellis'] and [player_tooltip player_id='521111' first='Jontai' last='Quick']. McDevitt also has a dynamic duo at running back in Nazier Jones-Davis and Maurice Davis. They should have a good chance to win if they can run the ball with those two. I expect a shootout in this game even though McDevitt has several good defenders, including Barnes and [player_tooltip player_id='941129' first='Liam' last='Fuller'] as a defensive end.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Roman Catholic wins this if...</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Roman Catholic will win if [player_tooltip player_id='386284' first='Semaj' last='Beals'] out-duels [player_tooltip player_id='154352' first='Stone' last='Saunders'] at quarterback. Beals has had a fantastic junior season as he has helped Roman Catholic make a state title game run. He has been the leader of Roman Catholic all year. Roman Catholic also has a talented group of players all over the field. On defense, William Felder is a lockdown cornerback who is attending Duke. [player_tooltip player_id='598902' first='Jaasai' last='Simmons'] makes a ton of plays as a defensive lineman along with Mykel Ford. On offense, Beals has weapons all over the field, especially [player_tooltip player_id='386305' first='Rayshawn' last='Scott'] at wide receiver. This should be a highly entertaining match-up, and Roman Catholic will have a legitimate chance to win a title.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Top Bishop McDevitt Players:</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["154352"],"_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-67524cc80dd6e"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">The future Kentucky player will play his last game of his high school career trying to win a 2nd title in 3 years.
