Palisade (3) vs Pomona (2) – Semifinal Preview

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Colorado 3A is slowly revealing itself as an underrated league for collegiate talent as I continue to evaluate Mile High ball and these teams are pushing the envelope. A great semifinal between 2 run-dominate teams is sizing up to be a great matchup between the 2 and 3 seeds. Both teams' loses are against larger class schools and have proven their way through the early rounds of the playoffs.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The Palisade Bulldogs (10-2), winner of the Western Slope league boast a tremendous option rushing attack with 5 players rushing for over 400 yards this season. Behind this big OL and Nathan Umberger being a big threat through the air, it's impossible to predict the Bulldogs' next move.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>On the other side, the Pomona Panthers (11-1) showcase a slightly more balanced attack, but still frequent the run behind their workhorse tailback [player_tooltip player_id='1621218' first='Luis' last='Santana']. A creative and deep run playbook, the Panthers' film was a joy to break down in how their run schemes show deceptiveness and are super complimentary to each other. Winners of the North 1 League, Pomona is looking to avenge their semifinal exit from last season - a nailbiter against Mead.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Let's get into the top players from each side --</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading {"textAlign":"center"} --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading has-text-align-center"><strong>Palisade Bulldogs Spotlight Players:</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Bulldogs' X-Factor -</strong> [player_tooltip player_id='1621505' first='Tobyn' last='Trottier'] and the rest of this Panther Offensive Line</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1621505"],"_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-6929529a3faeb"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">At 6'3 250 Trottier shows a blend of size and quickness off the ball.&nbsp; Holding down the RG spot, Trottier (and this whole Palisade OL) does a great job getting off the ball, showing the ability to reach defenders on outside runs.&nbsp; When drive blocking, he gets off the ball with great pad level and lifts defenders blocking from the ground up.&nbsp; In the passing game, he blocks with a good base and anchor when facing heavier DTs.</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":"Branson Springer","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"2026","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"6'3u0022","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_weight":"190","_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":"Palisade","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_program":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_program":"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-6929529a3fc4b"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Commanding this offense, Branson Springer has great size at 6'3 190.&nbsp; Springer has great zip on his passes.

Downfield, he also has great footwork in his baseball turns and will still make plays on the ball.&nbsp; In zone coverage, he does a great job reading the QB and breaking on routes for INTs.&nbsp; Molina has proven versatility on the backend, also playing safety where I think I see his game translating more at the next level.&nbsp; Offensively, Molina has an affinity for finding gaps in zones and has taken multiple screens to the house for long TDs showing his hard running and vision.</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":"Sebastian Reyes","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"2026","_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":"165","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_weight":"field_65b288425ecf6","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"2410","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"Pomona","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_program":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_program":"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-6929529a40740"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">At 5'11 165, Sebastian Reyes is a YAC monster.&nbsp;
