Football City Clash: Sunday 15U Standouts and Observations

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>ROCK HILL | </strong>After two days full of action on the gridiron, Camp Hustle took home the 15U Championship with a convincing win over Blitz Green in that age division of the Football City Clash.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>With the games came standouts and observations from around the group.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1604676' first='Weston' last='Michalak']</strong> (Ambassador Christian School) was the quarterback of the Camp Hustle team that took home the championship, and his performance was a huge reason. Michalak was hardly ever late or off target on his throws and that played a huge role in the success of his team on Sunday in bracket play.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1648371' first='Jalen' last='Raley']</strong> (West Charlotte) was on the receiving end of a few of those throws, but he made his mark on defense. Raley (pictured above) was all over the field both days. In the championship game alone, he collected three interceptions and looked like the best player on the field. Without him, the Camp Hustle defense would've looked much different.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1616138' first='Xavier' last='Hutchens']</strong> (Kings Mountain) and <strong>Dakota Smith</strong> (Kings Mountain) made plays right away for the Athletic Young Boys (AYB) team as they both got into the endzone. Smith was more of a threat on defense, collecting multiple interceptions over the two-day event.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Makorean Anderson</strong> (Dorman) was the quarterback for the Blitz Green that fell short in the championship game. The Blitz were the No. 9 seed headed into Sunday's action and the arm of Anderson helped them get all the way to the final game. <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1648505' first='Caden' last='Mullaney']</strong> (Hillcrest) was the recipient of several of Anderson's excellent throws and the two had a nice connection throughout the event.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Along with his strong arm and tight window throws, Anderson split out at wide receiver and showcased his athleticism at multiple positions.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1264500' first='Jayden' last='Arthur']</strong> (South Rowan) impacted the game defensively with multiple pass breakups and interceptions on defense. His knack for finding the ball in the air allowed him to make plays that most wouldn't have been able to.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1061146' first='Teru' last='Davis']</strong> (Summerville) headlined a stacked G7 team that was loaded with talent. Davis is one of the best athletes in the entire state and his shiftiness and athleticism stood out over both days. He had a nice connection with quarterback <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1507664' first='Tyvai' last='Deas']</strong> (Goose Creek) and the two were constantly making plays together during the games.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
