Monday Rewind: Taking a Look at Week 9 Ballers Pt.2

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Week 9 was a big one throughout the entire state of Ohio. With many playoff-like performances from athletes this past week, I want to highlight some of those who had a tremendous week. This is part two of a two part series, so make sure to go back and take a look at the <a href="https://prepredzone.com/2025/10/monday-rewind-taking-a-look-at-week-9-ballers-pt-1/">previous article</a>!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1595485"],"_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-68f4c43209248"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Larkyn (LT) returned for a week 9 battle, which Badin won 28-14 over a tough Archbishop Alter team. His production was electric, catching only 3 passes, but going for 110 yards and a touchdown. He got vertical and sped past a defensive back to score a long touchdown. His other two catches came on quick hitches, where he picked up yards after the catch. LT is a good athlete who has quick feet. He's got soft hands and can catch through contact. LT is a great package as a receiver.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1851119"],"_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-68f4c432092a4"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Dre'Keim is a stud. He plays both ways, lining up on the edge and also as a pass catcher out wide. He's an incredible athlete who is very quick for his size. He's strong and has a powerful upper body to shrug off tacklers. He has a great get-off and can overwhelm linemen with his athleticism. He's got several ways to win as a pass rusher and is a versatile piece in the run game. He can play as a contain man on the edge, or he can drop off the line to spy a quarterback on passing downs. Dre'Keim is an enjoyable watch on film.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1921590"],"_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-68f4c432092ef"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Reign impressed in a 23-16 win over rival Urbana. He finished with 235 yards and 2 passing touchdowns. Reign made several throws that impressed. Tight windows, cross-field, and far-side throws were all showcased and looked good. He's got mobility and can create through the air with his legs. With his play, he keeps Bellefontaine's playoff hopes alive heading into week 10.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1632073"],"_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-68f4c61ac4572"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Michael was a top target for his quarterback on Friday night. He caught 3 passes, but finished with 3 touchdowns and 63 yards. He's a fluid athlete who has size and length. He was a lead blocker on many long quarterback-designed runs. Shepherd put in a complete performance in a blowout victory to move to 9-0.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
