Racking up 890 rushing yards and 10 touchdowns, Ware has proven to be a constant big play threat on the ground. His versatility extends beyond the backfield, with 20 receptions for 255 yards and five additional receiving scores. He can lining up wide, in the slot, or take handoffs, Ware's ability to make defenders miss in space makes him a matchup nightmare. His blend of speed, vision and football IQ allows him to impact every play when he is on the field. As his team continues to lean on his production, Ware has cemented himself as one of 3A's most complete offensive weapons.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1955273"],"_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-68efdcac48182"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Moore has established himself as one of the most physical and punishing backs in 3A. With 784 rushing yards and eight touchdowns, Moore thrives in-between the tackles, consistently wearing down defenses with his bruising running style. He isn't known for catching passes out of the backfield but what he lacks in versatility he makes up for in raw strength and consistency. Moore has a knack for finding tough yards in short yardage situations and excels at finishing drives near the goal line. His ability to control the tempo of a game and move the chains has been key to his team's offensive success. As the season progresses, Moore's power and toughness continue to set the tone early.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1308259"],"_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-68efdcac481d3"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Krupp brings a balanced attack to his team's offense, combining patience, vision and solid hands out of the backfield. With 735 rushing yards and seven touchdowns, Krupp has shown the ability to grind out tough yardage while also being a reliable receiving option. His versatility gives his offense flexibility to utilize him as a runner or a pass catching threat, keeping defenses guessing. Krupp's football IQ and consistency make him the type of player coaches trust in crucial moments. As he continues to develop his all-around game, Krupp has quietly become one of 3A's most dependable and underrated backs, capable of carrying his team when it matters most.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["206561"],"_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-68efdcac4821e"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Baker has been a tone setter for his offense, running with physicality and purpose. With 694 rushing yards and nine touchdowns, Baker has proven to be a consistent redzone threat and one of the toughest runners to bring down. His 79 yard run shows he's not just a power back, he can break free for explosive gains. Adding 124 receiving yards and two touchdowns through the air, Baker has demonstrated impressive versatility for his size. His ability to impact both the passing and running game makes him a nightmare for opposing defenses. Baker's mix of power, burst and determination defines the kind of player who elevates his team each week.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["212248"],"_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-68efdcac48269"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Adamic has quietly emerged as one of the most efficient backs in 3A, showcasing a complete skill set. With 670 rushing yards and nine touchdowns, Adamic's production speaks for itself. He also adds a receiving element, catching four passes for 48 yards and a score. His combination of patience, vision and decisiveness allows him to read his blocks and find seams. Adamic isn't just a workhorse, he's a player who maximizes every carry and rarely takes negative yardage. His steady production and ability to handle a high workload make him a key part of his team's offensive identity through seven weeks of play.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1471217"],"_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-68efdcac482b3"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">While listed as a quarterback, Lewis deserves recognition as one of the most dangerous rushers in 3A. Leading the way in 3A with 933 rushing yards on just 94 carries, Lewis has found the end zone 14 times on the ground. His athleticism and vision allow him to turn broken plays into highlight reel runs, giving his team a dynamic offensive edge. Lewis isn't just a scrambling quarterback, he's a true rushing threat who dominates defenses with his speed and power. His ability to extend drives and finish plays in the red zone makes him a centerpiece of his team's success, and a legitimate weapon that defenses must plan for each week.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
