Just a few plays later, he flew in from the back end of the defense to nearly grab a pick, that would've been counted as a pass-breakup.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Offensively, he caught a deep shot from [player_tooltip player_id='1657101' first='Kyle' last='Tracy'] early in the game, fighting off the DB who was called for pass interference and still tracking the ball and making the catch for a big gain. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1657093"],"_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-68ab43e0dc3f3"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Another wideout that has cultivated some chemistry with Tracy, [player_tooltip player_id='1657093' first='Drew' last='Greve'] is just another weapon for Regina's second-year gunslinger. A classic slot receiver that can get past the defense when unaccounted for thanks to the other talent on Regina's roster, Greve makes opposing defenses pay with his speed and ability to catch an over-the-shoulder pass.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">The second score of the evening for the Regals, Greve utilized each of his respective traits as a receiver, sneaking past the third level of the CCA defense to catch a bomb over his shoulder for a touchdown. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1605331"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":["override_image"],"_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":1850168,"_player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":"field_62f141137ead9","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-68ab43e0dc472"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">One of the more underrated players for the Regals -- and probably in the state, at this point -- [player_tooltip player_id='1605331' first='Gabriel' last='Hegelheimer'] is on his way up to [player_tooltip player_id='1197445' first='Savion' last='Miller'] (who would've been included in this article if I saw more of him on Friday, but he did truck a CCA linebacker) and [player_tooltip player_id='466364' first='Tate' last='Wallace'] territory. A rare running back and defensive tackle hybrid, Hegelheimer possesses the unique physical traits and explosion to play both positions at a high level in 1A.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Hegelheimer is a bowling ball of a running back with vision and the foot speed to quickly make cuts or gain momentum and plow over would-be tacklers.

At 6'5" and 215 pounds, Litton has the physical makeup and catch radius to be a solid blocking tight end that can catch passes, plus the length to disrupt the passing game of offenses. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1657101"],"_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-68ab43e0dc57d"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Tracy made the best of some difficult situations with the snap on Friday, as the Regals are still working out the kinks of consistency in the center-to-quarterback transfer. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>When things go off-script, Tracy uses his dual-threat capabilities to escape the pocket and make some tough throws on the run. With a little bit of Will McElvain in his game (shout out UNI fans, circa 2019-2020), Tracy can tuck it and run or make tight-window throws for gains. One of the primary beneficiaries of the talent on the Regina roster, Tracy is the engine that makes the whole thing go.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><em>But</em>, when he did catch the snap and the Regina offense was able to operate without any issues to start a play, things went smoothly. Tracy is clearly a veteran and the leader of the offense, orchestrating each and every play the Regals run. He throws a tight, catchable ball and puts it only where his receiver can go get it.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["466364"],"_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-68ab43e0dc5c3"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">The No. 1 LB in Iowa and one of the top pass-catchers returning in 1A, Wallace will look to be one of the best two-way players in the state this fall. On Friday, he caught a barrage of passes, some for short gains, some for long. Making plays in the open field after the catch, Wallace can maneuver through space better than most at his size, and the combo of long arms and strong hands make for a consistent safety valve target for Tracy. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Either way, Wallace is a big ball of aggression and strength that can manhandle anyone across from him on the defensive side of the ball, and finds ways to get open offensively. He'll be atop the scouting report alongside Miller for almost every opponent this fall. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
