Wyatt made his presence known in the second half, punishing Ravenwood's offense in the air by hauling in a huge interception. The Tennessee signee continued to prove why he's one of the top players in the state.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["424644"],"_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-6934dfb1517e0"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Another standout was [player_tooltip player_id='424644' first='Kam' last='Morton'], a quarterback at Oakland High School. Morton came in clutch during the first half, running in a 3-yard score to extend the Patriots' lead over the Raptors. Morton also ran in a two-point conversion in the fourth quarter.

Babalola was huge in the fourth quarter of action, finding an opening in the pocket to slip into the endzone for the touchdown. The Boston College signee has been extremely consistent all year long and is without question one of the better signal callers in the Volunteer State for the 2026 class.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["856867"],"_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-6934dc0694a99"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">The top performer of the night was [player_tooltip player_id='856867' first='Craig' last='Tutt'], a defensive back at Oakland High School.

Cameron got things rolling for the Patriots' offense, punching in the first score of the night from a few yards out.
