Game Preview: Lawrence North v. Ben Davis

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Following a shut-out win over Arsenal Tech, Lawrence North High School and five-star wide receiver [player_tooltip player_id='631962' first='Monshun' last='Sales'] will return home on Friday night in an east side v. west side rumble as Lawrence North takes on [player_tooltip player_id='1630653' first='Ben' last='Davis'].&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The Giants, who are coming off a tough 15-point loss to Warren Central, are 1-4, yet this is a team that can't be counted out and still stacked with college talent.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A big-time matchup will take place and Sales will be right at the center of it, going against top [player_tooltip player_id='1630653' first='Ben' last='Davis'] defensive back [player_tooltip player_id='1549692' first='Robert' last='Reddick'].&nbsp; Reddick, a safety who is committed to Kansas, will present unique matchup problems against Sales, an incredibly-gifted five-star wideout with a rare size-speed combination.&nbsp; Reddick physically looks the part of a blue-chip defensive back and the Jayhawks are certainly glad to have him in their pockets as the high school season winds down.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Other key names to watch out for include two-way junior [player_tooltip player_id='1667053' first='Marcus' last='Powe'] II, who also plays basketball.&nbsp; Powe plays both inside receiver and cornerback.&nbsp; Class of 2027 athlete [player_tooltip player_id='1667351' first='Keontay' last='Toomer'] holds an early offer from Purdue and performed admirably at the Colts 11-On 7v7 tournament when I saw him last summer.&nbsp; Through the first three weeks of the season, Toomer recorded 35 tackles, 15 solo, 20 assisted and two tackles for loss and one forced fumble.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Running back [player_tooltip player_id='320276' first='Jazz' last='Coleman'], who transferred from nearby Speedway High School, is an under-the-radar tailback in the Hoosier State with potential to be very good.&nbsp; His most-recent offer is Central State, as did offensive lineman [player_tooltip player_id='401660' first='Tabarakh' last='Lawal'].&nbsp; Keep an eye on 2026 prospect [player_tooltip player_id='1667057' first='Jeivyair' last='Horton'], an under-the-radar senior.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Lawrence North, in addition to Sales, should have a high-powered offense boosted by running back Izayevon Moore.&nbsp; The 5-foot-8, 185-pound running back knows how to score and is very fast with the ball in his hands.&nbsp; Sophomore quarterback [player_tooltip player_id='447762' first='Darian' last='Prather'] is having a strong season and has strung together several great games over the past three weeks: he is 20/32 for seven touchdowns and 417 yards through the air with 12 carries for 126 yards on the ground.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
