<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Pike will face a stout test on Friday when they head into Lawrence North to take on the talented Wildcats.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Do they have a chance? Recall last season's game against the Red Devils was a 24-14 win for Lawrence North.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>It's been a long time since Pike was a factor in 6A football. Prior to head coach Mike Brevard's arrival in 2022, the last time Pike won a sectional was in 2013 under Derek Moyers. The team won a combined five games in three total seasons before Brevard's arrival, and trying to rebuild the program and make them into serious contenders has not been easy. The fourth-year head coach, though, is starting to see the fruits of his labor: after a one-win season in 2022 and a three-win year in 2023, the Red Devils finished last year with a 5-5 record.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>They enter the final week of the season with three wins (one of their losses was in overtime against Warren Central, an undoubtedly solid team), and they'd like to add a fourth win on Friday against Lawrence North to head into the sectionals with some momentum. Everybody knows about [player_tooltip player_id='533143' first='Dammy' last='Adeoba'] (Grand Valley State commit) and Muna Newman (Western Michigan commit). But what about underclassmen?</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Here are four players who can make it happen:</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1700701"],"_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-68f1096a5f6b0"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='1700701' first='Jaylen' last='Griffin'] is a very talented receiver and dangerous with the ball in his hands. A solid receiver with great run-after-the-catch ability, he is also a dynamic kick returner who can make defenders miss in space. Griffin is also a solid cornerback with good leaping ability and timing with his hands to break up passes.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"Willie Chapman","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"2027","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"6'1u0022","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_weight":"200","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_weight":"field_65b288425ecf6","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"2496","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"Pike","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_0_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-68f1096a5f777"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">The Pike defense will have its hands full with Izaveyon Moore, but they just might have enough talent to meet the test, starting with junior outside linebacker Willie Chapman. Chapman is a good outside linebacker/edge prospect who can wrap up in space and is a solid open-field tackler. Through Week 7, Chapman recorded 73 total tackles, 2.5 sacks and one interception. Chapman, like [player_tooltip player_id='1700800' first='Bobby' last='Thomas'] (below), is starting to garner Division I attention.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1700800"],"_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-68f1096a5f7c9"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='1700800' first='Bobby' last='Thomas'] is a solid running back with good change-of-direction and ability to make defenders miss in space. He can spin off tackles, maintain great balance in the open field and keep his legs moving for positive yards. Thomas has solid vision and cutback, and is hearing from several Division I schools.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"Mychael Lewis","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"2028","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"5'11u0022","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_weight":"170","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_weight":"field_65b288425ecf6","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"2409","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"Pike","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_0_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-68f1096a5f863"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Mychael Lewis is a dual-threat quarterback with plenty of speed. The sophomore has a quick release, hits receivers with good velocity over the middle of the field and can fit the ball into tight windows. Keep an eye on his growth potential with two more years of high school football left to go.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->

Pike will face a stout test on Friday when they head into Lawrence North to take on the talented Wildcats.
