Mile High Momentum: Thursday Night Show Stealers From Week 6

Reeder showed off against Rock Canyon. The 6'4 220-pound senior went 12/19 for 201 yards, 3 TDs (season high), 0 INTs, 4 rushes for 40 yards. There's a lot to like about Reeder's film. He has good athletic ability due to good acceleration, speed, and change of direction. Good throw power paired with very good touch. He has a quick flick release and uses his very good ball placement skills to fit it in tight windows. Reeder has very good pocket mobility. Keeps his eyes downfield and keeps his feet set. Good scramble ability. There are times I'd like to see him trust his pocket more before running for a big gain. He has very strong legs to carry him and defenders on him. I'm impressed with how Reeder stays poised under pressure, and calm in the big moments.     Saying Thenell had a massive game is an understatement. The 5'10 215-pound senior RB for Heritage had 27 carries for 295 yards and 5 total touchdowns. Mo is a power back that looks like a bowling ball running through defenders. Thenell has very good athletic ability due to elite balance, very good acceleration, speed, and good change of direction. Thenell has very good jump cuts, and makes defenders miss all the time with them, especially at the line of scrimmage. Explosive start. Very good vision to weave his way through holes, and power through line backers. Very good strength, trucking, and stiff arm. Consistently gains yards after contact. Thenell is a very good outside runner, getting to the perimeter and shedding tackles like it's nothing. Kid's a dawg.     Feeney put the team on his back through both passing and rushing the ball. The dual threat 5'11 180-pound QB threw for 148 yards on 7/12 and 2 TDs, while rushing for a season high in rushing with 156 yards on 13 carries and 3 touchdowns. Feeney has very good athletic ability due to very good acceleration, speed, good change of direction, and balance. When the ball is in his hands, he's electric. Very good vision. Very good outside running, hits the perimeter and uses his home run speed to blaze past. He's like a heat seeking missle. Feeney isn't afraid of getting physical, lowering his shoulder down to truck through defenders. Strong hands to hold onto the ball form big hits. He's got good throw power as well. Good throw on the run with a good release. Very impressed with his ability to run the ball.     Stewart is a two-way player for Dakota Ridge playing both WR and CB. The 6'1 170-pound ATH had 7 catches for 104 yards, and 3 solo tackles against Ponderosa. Stewart has good athletic ability due to very good acceleration, good speed, jumping, and change of direction. Good release at the line of scrimmage. Good separation quickness especially due to mental processing. IDS a void and exploits it. Very good ball tracking and good catching. Very good body adjustment skills. He'll contort his body to make the catch and keep 2 feet in on the sidelines. Smooth route runner. Good blocker in the run game. As a defender, he is a very physical corner. He jams the WR at the line of scrimmage, and re routes them on defense. This junior has a lot of potential, and I can't wait to see more of him going forward.     Lucero had a season high night in rushing against Mitchell. The 5'4 145-pound running back had 5 carries for 129 yards and 3 touchdowns. Lucero has very good athletic ability due to elite acceleration, speed, very good change of direction, and good balance. When the ball is in his hands, he is electric. Using his home run speed to weave through the defense into the endzone. This kid has wheels, and defenders can't catch him. Lucero has a very explosive quick start, bursting into the hole. Very good vision. Very good inside runner and outside running. Hits the perimeter and is gone. He makes defenders miss with his juke moves, and is like a human joystick on the field. Keep an eye on this guy, he has a lot of potential.
