Playoff Proving Grounds: Who Made Their Mark in Round 1

Fromm has a season high in the loss against Conifer. The 6'1 200-pounds linebacker had 15 total tackles (11 solo, 4 assisted). Fromm has good athletic ability due to very good speed, good acceleration, lateral quickness, and change of direction. He has good read and reaction time. Fromm is a downhill linebacker that has good pass coverage. Very good range. He was all over the field using his very good tackling to stop offensive opponents. Fromm uses his good mental processing watching the QB putting him in position to make the play. He has good get off speed and good block shedding as well. He was a bright spot in a loss, and I'm excited to see how he plays next season.     Delpizzo had a season high night against Bear Creek. The 5'7 155-pound scatback had 33 carries for 209 yards with 3 touchdowns. He has very good athletic ability due to very good speed, balance, change of direction, and good acceleration. He has an explosive quick start and uses his very good vision to weave through the defense. Delpizzo prances like a deer, and has explosive jump cuts. Once he gets past the 2nd level, he uses his home run speed and is gone. Very good outside running. Delpizzo thrives on making defenders miss. He isn't afraid of putting his shoulder down to create contact. I'm excited to see what he can continue to do !     Pisciotta showed out in the win over Discovery Canyon. The 3 receptions for 69 yards and 2 touchdowns, with 66 total return yardage. The 6'3 185-pound receiver has very good athletic ability due to very good jumping, acceleration, speed, and good change of direction. Very good release against both off coverage and press jam. He's smooth going into his route with his very good separation quickness. Uses good mental processing to sit in an open void and exploit it. Pisciotta has very good ball tracking and catching skills. He is a great jump ball specialist and will come down with the contested catch. All season he has been a consistent bucket for his QB, and this playoff game was no different. I wouldn't be surprised to see him go over 100 plus yards next game.     The senior running back led the way for Columbine in round 1. The 6'2 195-pound running back had 22 carries for 185 yards and 2 touchdowns. Snyder has very good athletic ability due to elite balance, very good acceleration, speed, and good change of direction. He is a power back that thrives with a lot of carries and contact. Very good vision and anticipation when getting the ball. Very good inside running, good outside runner. He consistently gets yards after contact. Very good trucking and stiff arm. Snyder has a powerful core and strong legs to churn forward, and drag defenders with him. Snyder is a very durable running back, and takes multiple hits yet still churns on. He will continue his dominating streak into round 2.     Marsh had the hat trick this past Friday night. The WR/TE had 4 receptions for 102 yards and 3 touchdowns. He had a season high in receiving and touchdowns. The 6'3 180-pound receiver has very good athletic ability due to very good speed, jumping, good acceleration, and change of direction. Good release vs off coverage. Good separation quickness to take the top off a defense. Very good catching. He has a large catch radius due to his frame. Very good body control to stay in bounds on the sideline, and accelerate for a touchdown. After the catch, he uses his home run speed to run past defenders and get into the endzone. Marsh also is a powerful blocker and can create running lanes whether next to the tackle, or out in space. He's a powerful receiver that is looking to continue capitalizing on this performance going into next week.
