Rocky Mountain Rewind: Week 9 Edition

In this week's Rocky Mountain Rewind, I will be diving into some impressive performances by under the radar prospects. They aren't household names yet, but with more games like these, they will be.    Wow this senior had a performance against Timnath. The 5'10 195-pound running back had 25 carries for 194 yards and 2 touchdowns. He has good athletic ability due to very good speed, balance, good acceleration, change of direction, good stamina. Czyszczon is a bruising running back. Very good at getting yards after contact. He bounces off the defenders, or uses his good stiff arm to gain extra yards. Explosive jump cuts. Czyszczon has really good awareness, and here's an example. Botched snap between C and QB, Czyszczon blocked an edge rusher while his QB grabbed the fumbled ball. Quick instincts and impressive young downhill running back.     Feeney continues to be an impressive dual threat QB. Against Liberty, he threw 7/9 for 192 , 4 TDs, 0 INT, 77.8% completion rate, with 3 rushes for 32 yards. The 5'11 180-pound QB has very good athletic ability due to very good speed, acceleration, good change of direction, and balance. Grady has a quick release with good throw power. Feeney has good anticipation on his throws, and good touch. He shines in making correct decisions and keeping the ball out of harms way. Good ball placement skills. He stays poised under pressure. Very good runner. Very good scramble ability. He uses his very good vision to dissect the defense with his legs. He hits the perimeter and goes. Thrives with physicality, by putting his shoulder down and showing his good trucking skills. He has good balance to stay up on his feet as well. Kid is a stud.     McBroom showed out through both the air and the run game. The sophomore went 9/14 for 98 yards and 2 touchdowns with 7 rushes for 106 yards. McBroom isn't normally the quarterback for Mesa Ridge, however he is 2nd in rushing on the team. He has good athletic ability due to very good speed, change of direction, good acceleration, and balance. When McBroom isn't throwing the rock, he has good scramble ability and runs out of the pocket escaping for a big gain. He has good throw power and good touch on his throws. Against Doherty, he was precise with the ball and didn't put it in harms way. I can't wait to see more of his dual threat ability going forward.     Smith had 8 total tackles (1 solo, 7 assisted), 1 TFL, and 1 sack against Eaglecrest in a must win game for Grandview. The 6'3 205-pound linebacker has good athletic ability due to good acceleration, speed, lateral quickness, and change of direction. He switches between lining up on the edge or as an off-ball linebacker. He has good get off speed and good block shedding. One thing about Smith is his patience in the RPO and read option game. Another smart aspect of his game, is he will keep his arms up high for pass deflections. He has a good bull rush paired with a good bend around the edge. Very good hand strength. Smith is an exciting junior, who will have his hands full this weekend against the top tackle duo of Cherry Creek.     This junior put the team on his back, and helped will Lewis-Palmer to a win over the Discovery Canyon Thunder. Moore had 20 carries for 200 yards and 1 touchdown, and complemented other running back Troy Johnson perfectly. Moore has good athletic ability due to very good acceleration, balance, good change of direction, and speed. He has an explosive start and uses his good vision to find route through the defense. Moore has good jump cuts and will make defenders miss with them. Very good inside running and good outside running. He's the type of back to consistently move the chains. He gets yards after contact due to his strength and running through defenders. Great performance by the running back.
