12U "The Machine" Gears Up To Win Bash in the Boomer State

Here is your Back to Back 12U "Bash in the Boomer State" SevenOn7 Champions, led by Coach Rickey Bradford. These young ballers have such a bright future and have been playing together for a long time and it shows. This was one of, if not "the", most prepared team I saw all weekend. Congratulations gentlemen, well deserved. You have a fan in Missouri. Keep it going!   <figure class="wp-block-image size-large is-resized"><img src="https://prepredzone.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2025/04/IMG_5760-copy-crop-3385x2223-1744822913.jpg?w=800" alt="" class="wp-image-1658134" style="width:424px;height:auto" /></figure>   Avery Bradford, Quarterback- There are quarterbacks who manage a game, and then there are quarterbacks like Avery who take over a game. Throughout 7v7 action, Mr. Bradford showcased the rare “IT Factor” that separates high-level competitors from the rest. Whether it's threading the needle against tight coverage or launching back-to-back deep touchdown strikes, Avery repeatedly proved he has the God-given ability to impact the game at any moment. His mechanics are fluid, and he generates natural velocity without overexerting. During several series, he completed 6 to 8 passes in a row, showing rhythm, confidence, and a keen understanding of timing. Avery's leadership was another major plus. He's an exciting but composed presence, someone who clearly expects results and carries himself with quiet confidence.   Hudson Dvoracek, Athlete- Few players dominate both sides of the field like Hudson, a true two-way threat who consistently impacts games as both a wide receiver and defensive back. Whether he's blowing past defenders on offense or locking down top targets on defense, he brings a rare combination of speed, football IQ, and competitive intensity that makes him a nightmare matchup in 7v7 play. Offensively, Hudson is an outstanding route runner who separates with precision and explosiveness. His elite quickness and suddenness make him nearly unguardable in space, and he consistently creates windows for his QB to attack. Once the ball is in the air, he showcases an advanced ability to track deep passes, adjust mid-route, and finish through contact with reliable hands. Defensively, Hudson possesses coverage instincts and a high level understanding of route concepts that allow him to anticipate throws and be in the right position.   A'mirre Rowland, Athlete (Team MVP)- A word that best describes Mr. Rowland is Playmaker. A true baller with the ability to tilt the field on both sides of the ball, A'mirre has emerged as one of the most electric two-way athletes on the 12U circuit. Whether lining up at receiver or locking down the perimeter at corner, he constantly finds himself around the football. Offensively, he brings top-tier acceleration, insane body control, and sticky hands that allow him to threaten defenses in an instant. His first step explosiveness is lethal. My guy routinely burns cornerbacks off the line, attacks their leverage, and leaves defenders grasping at air. On multiple occasions, he scored on the first play of a drive. Defensively, he can lock up in man or drop into zone without missing a beat.   Jakobi Whitaker, Receiver/Linebacker- When it comes to matchup problems, Jakobi checks every box. A big bodied WR with strong hands, elite body control, and a competitive edge. He consistently imposes his will on defenders. Whether it's in tight red zone situations or contested catch scenarios downfield, this dude is a cornerback's worst nightmare, a true physical mismatch who wins both before and after the catch. This young man is so dangerous is his ability to attack the ball at its apex, making him a go to option on fade balls and corner routes. Jakobi's hand-eye coordination is elite, and his confidence in traffic is unmatched. If he doesn't catch it, no one will. On defense, he's savvy in rerouting pass catchers and trusts his read keys, showing a high level of field awareness and football IQ.   Ben Cochnauer, Tight End- “The Big Fella” reliable target and underrated playmaker! Every great offense has a glue guy. The one who does the dirty work, moves the chains, and delivers in clutch moments. For this team, that player is Ben who happens to play Tight End. A fan favorite and the heartbeat of the offense, this monster combines physical toughness with football intelligence and some of the surest hands on the roster. What separates Ben is his short-yardage route mastery. He's a technician working shallow crosses, drags, stick routes and hooks with precision. He consistently puts himself in the right spot to extend drives. While defenses may overlook him at first glance, he's the type of player who burns you quietly finding soft spots in zones, slipping behind the second level and coming up with key third down conversions.   Devin Goines, Athlete- A game breaker whose top end speed and suddenness create constant headaches for opposing coordinators. Devin is twitchy, displays stop and go acceleration, with a low center of gravity. This prospect is a nightmare if you don't get your hands on him early. A bonified threat to score every single time he touches the rock. Goines is the type of player you create a game plan and opposing defenses have to account for him on every snap. On the defensive side of the ball, he's a top defender in multiple coverages. This man has fluid hips, sharp instincts, and advanced technique. Whether lined up against quick slot receivers or physical boundary targets, he shows the ability to mirror, stay disciplined, and completely eliminate his matchup.
