PRZVA Team Previews: Battlefield Bobcats

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Last Years Result:</strong> 11-1 (Fell to Patriot in Region B Quarterfinals)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Battlefield has been close for a few years now of obtaining a Class 6 State title, is 2025 the year they break through? The talent is their that is without question, and Coach Hatfield has done a marvelous job since taking over in 2021. Hatfield's squad should be considered one of the heavy favorites this fall, the experience returning alone makes them that way. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Key Returnees:</strong> [player_tooltip player_id='853820' first='Calum' last='O'Shea'], [player_tooltip player_id='1297952' first='Luke' last='Hatfield'], [player_tooltip player_id='853821' first='Brandon' last='Murray'], [player_tooltip player_id='853768' first='Keaton' last='Ramey'], [player_tooltip player_id='1236733' first='Jayden' last='Blackstock'], [player_tooltip player_id='1535249' first='Noah' last='Glover']</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1535249"],"_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-68a1ce8e8497b"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">The top prospect in northern Virginia is linebacker [player_tooltip player_id='1535249' first='Noah' last='Glover'], earning offers since his 8th grade year, Glover will be playing Power 4 football soon. Recently receiving offers from the likes of Oregon/Alabama and Ohio State, Glover has seemed to narrow his search before his junior season. He is a special talent who will only get better, the number 1 ranked linebacker is coming at you fast. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/NoahGlover11112/status/1952080615316263367","type":"rich","providerNameSlug":"twitter","responsive":true} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/NoahGlover11112/status/1952080615316263367 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1297952"],"_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-68a1ce8e849d5"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Hatfield has been a stable for the Bobcats offensive line, committing to UCONN this past spring, do not be surprised to see him playing on both sides this fall. [player_tooltip player_id='1297952' first='Luke' last='Hatfield'] is a team player and already an all state tackle, with the transfer of [player_tooltip player_id='1297613' first='Hayden' last='Loveless'], expect to see Luke to some snaps along the defensive line. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/LHatfield57/status/1929624062864593215","type":"rich","providerNameSlug":"twitter","responsive":true} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/LHatfield57/status/1929624062864593215 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["853820"],"_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-68a1ce8e84a1d"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">After a late season knee injury that forced [player_tooltip player_id='853820' first='Calum' last='O'Shea'] to miss a potential long playoff run, he looks healthy and ready to finish his senior season in force. The Richmond commit is very accurate and hurt teams the most with his scrambling last fall. His speed is very deceptive and his vision is top notch, once he sees a crease he is gone. Been high on this dude since he terrorizes defenses last year, with the talent around him in 2025, expect him to become more of a pocket passer. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["853768"],"_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-68a1ce8e84a5f"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Heading to Stony Brook a year from now, [player_tooltip player_id='853768' first='Keaton' last='Ramey'] is back for one more go around. A big play threat anytime he gets the football, he averaged over 20 yards per catch last fall. With the graduation of a couple playmakers, Ramey's role should only increase. No reason not to believe he cannot topple 1,000 yards receiving with his talents. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/keaton_ramey/status/1866260638739075305","type":"rich","providerNameSlug":"twitter","responsive":true} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/keaton_ramey/status/1866260638739075305 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["853821"],"_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-68a1ce8e84aa0"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Rutgers bound [player_tooltip player_id='853821' first='Brandon' last='Murray'] moved to 37th overall in our 2026 class, he had an outstanding junior season. The all state corner is also a longtime track star for the Bobcats. Rutgers has done a nice job recruiting northern Virginia in recent years and Murray can be an impact player for them right away. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/brandomurray2/status/1916236267437670612","type":"rich","providerNameSlug":"twitter","responsive":true} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/brandomurray2/status/1916236267437670612 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1236733"],"_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-68a1ce8e84ade"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Blackstock has been a good linebacker the past two seasons for Battlefield and now it seems he is finally getting his opportunity on offense. Watching their scrimmage against Madison he had some nice patient runs. He really looked comfortable going up against what should be a formidable Warhawks defense in 2025. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Key Newcomers: </strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1683332' first='Logan' last='Harvey']</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1683332"],"_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-68a1d1a9a9f0a"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">We ranked Harvey based on his potential and there is a lot of it. The 6'5 220 lb. junior should provide a nice pass rush off the edge for the Bobcats. He has a long reach and good blocker awareness, I expect a big role for him defensively. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/loganharvey_40/status/1879517569943576969","type":"rich","providerNameSlug":"twitter","responsive":true} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/loganharvey_40/status/1879517569943576969 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
