Charlotte Area + Beyond Week 6 Offensive Playmakers

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>All across the Charlotte Metro Area &amp; beyond in Week 56, there were big-time offensive performances, and we're going to highlight them here with a bit of commentary tacked on as well for select players. Please make sure you are sharing your performances with me via Twitter/X @pepman704, especially if you are in the Charlotte Metro Area, to be considered for inclusion! We will have this series all year long on Prep Redzone North Carolina, and we will recognize everyone – including linemen! Stats and film will help a TON when being evaluated for inclusion! All right, let's get started.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1136707' first='Nate' last='Baker']</strong> - South Mecklenburg - 3 Pancakes In Victory over Hopewell. Sabres Five Wins In A Row! - Nate is a talented offensive tackle who is also helping out on defense for one of the hottest teams in the state, which has won five games in a row now after their 46-20 victory over Hopewell. With his size, I think Nate should be getting more recruiting attention. He will be a late steal in the recruiting process for a college program. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1671904' first='Hunter' last='Tedder']</strong> - Southlake Christian - 6 Pancakes &amp; 0 Sacks Allowed in victory over Anderson Cavaliers - With over 20 college football offers, Hunter continues to impress between the lines. Hunter has helped the Eagles turn their offense into a dominant rushing attack, as his teammate also featured this week, had his second game of over 200 yards rushing this season. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1706428' first='Aidan' last='Flynn']</strong> - Charlotte Catholic - Game Winning Extra Point in victory over Porter Ridge in overtime - Aidan made a big-time pressure kick to give the Cougars a big 14-13 win over a very good Porter Ridge team on the road. Aidan has a strong leg, good accuracy, and has been a consistent scoring force for the Cougars all year long. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1604676' first='Weston' last='Michalak']</strong> - Ambassador Christian - Freshman QB With 338 Passing Yards &amp; 4 Touchdowns in win over Grace Christian - My colleague Will Helms has sung the praises of Weston's game, and it is all well deserved. Given his physical attributes and production already in his young career, it's only a matter of time before Weston sees college interest and offers coming his way. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Malachi Gwyn</strong> - Southlake Christian - 231 Rushing Yards and 4 Touchdowns in victory over Anderson Cavaliers - Malachi has changed the scope of the Eagles' offense since coming into the program a couple of weeks ago. He is showing some talent and skill that will help him show college football programs that he can be a player they can show some interest in from a recruiting perspective. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1277008' first='Caleb' last='Smith']</strong> - East Gaston - Perfect 6-6 on Extra Points and 50 Yard Punt in victory over Bessemer City</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Alex Ryan</strong> - Patton - 137 Rushing Yards, Touchdown, &amp; Interception in victory over Draughn</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1616134' first='Titus' last='Troy']</strong> - NW Cabarrus - 168 Rushing Yards and 3 Touchdowns in victory over East Rowan - Titus continues to show he can be a big-time running back for a very good Trojans program, and at this rate, he's going to be a three-year starter who piles up a ton of yards and touchdowns in his career. As he continues to grow physically, expect college programs to start to show some real interest as well. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Caylen “Juice” Hall</strong> - Cox Mill - 100 Rushing Yards and TD Reception in victory over Harding</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Andre Ramseur</strong> - Mountain Island - 242 Total Yards of Offense - 125 Rushing - and a TD in a win over Albemarle - Due to injuries, Andre has moved to the starting quarterback role for the Raptors, and has shown his versatility and athleticism as an overall prospect with the success he has shown so far this season. As long as Andre continues to play well, the Raptors still are a team that can give anyone fits on any given Friday night. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Jamarion Williams</strong> - Shelby - 120 Receiving Yards and 3 Touchdowns in victory over Stuart Cramer</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>AJ Settles</strong> - AL Brown - Three Passing Touchdowns, Two Rushing Touchdowns in victory over Berry - AJ is an impressive Dual-Threat quarterback who is making good decisions with the football in the victories the Wonders have had so far this year. AJ, in this one, showed off good accuracy on the run in throwing the ball, and a nice burst when keeping the ball on the read option in the running game. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1301222' first='Aiden' last='Donnelly']</strong> - East Mecklenburg - 112 Passing Yards, 103 Rushing Yards, 2 Touchdowns in victory over Ballantyne Ridge - In Aiden's first game at East Mecklenburg, he gave them a nice offensive shot in the arm, especially in the running game. This victory moves East Mecklenburg to 3-3 on the season, and they have put themselves into playoff contention at the moment. I'm excited to see how Aiden continues to progress with his new team. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Juhron Clemmons</strong> - North Pitt - 159 Rushing Yards and 3 Touchdowns in victory over North Johnston</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Zane McCraw</strong> - West Henderson - 176 Rushing Yards, 3 Touchdowns, Punt Return TD, Pick 6 in win over E. Henderson</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Elliot Newcomb</strong> - Charlotte Christian - 258 Passing Yards and 4 Touchdowns in victory over Ravenscroft</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Kaveaun Pless</strong> - South Point - 103 Rushing Yards and 3 Touchdowns in victory over Hunter Huss - Kaveaun has been a perfect fit so far in the Red Raiders' Triple Option attack as the main dive back. Kaveaun runs hard and has the ability to run through 2nd and 3rd-level tackle attempts. He also shows some good speed in the open field, so I expect him to continue piling up yards for years to come, as he is only a sophomore. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Everett Gryder</strong> - Watauga - 2 Rushing Touchdowns and Fumble Recovery Touchdown in win over Asheville</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
