<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The 4A Championship game was a good one. It pitted Dakota Ridge vs Palmer Ridge on Saturday afternoon. The Dakota Ridge Eagles beat Palmer Ridge 45-14. There was a plethora of talent on the field, let's dive into the analysis of the standouts. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><em>We have our Stock Up Showcase event on December 13th!

He threw for 289 yards on 21/24 with 87.5% completion rate with 5 TDs and 1 INT. Behrendsen has very good throw power and a fast quick release. Very good touch on this throws. He thrives on being accurate and smart with the ball. Very good pocket presence. When he's under pressure, he stays calm going through his progressions or will use his very good scramble ability to run for the first down. Very good throw on the run both left and run. Good off-platform throwing. Great job the star quarterback.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["317906"],"_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-69379861edc8c"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Offerdahl was a major part in Dakota Ridge's impressive defensive performance. The 6'0 190-pound safety had 8 total tackles (4 solo, 4 assisted), 1 TFL, 2 PD, and 1 interception. Offerdahl has good athletic ability due to very good speed, jumping, good change of direction, and acceleration. He has very good read and reaction speed. Very good zone coverage with good man coverage. Offerdahl has very good ball tracking skills and good catching to pluck the ball out of the air. Very good tackling and will run across the field to make the big play. He's a hard hitter and made his presence known on each play. Very good competitive toughness as well! Very impressed with his performance.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1394627"],"_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-69379861edd51"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Coyle was a defensive presence, leading both teams in total tackles. He had 10 total tackles (7 solo, 3 assisted), and 3 TFL. His very good athletic ability was on full display throughout the championship. Coyle would go from being the deep safety or into the box. He'd consistently make plays in the running game as the deep safety. Very good strength and tackling. Very good mental processing by putting himself in position to make a play. He'd stay patient on rushing plays, rushing the correct gap and gaining a tackle for loss. One impressive play was when he made a goal line stop, stopping a walk in TD. Great performance for the senior's last game.</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":"Jaxson Arnold","_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":"5'9u0022","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_weight":"","_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":"Dakota Ridge","_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-69379861edeec"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Arnold had 4 receptions for 103 yards and 2 touchdowns. The 5'9 receiver has very good athletic ability due to very good acceleration, change of direction, speed, and good jumping!  Very good release at the line of scrimmage. He uses his quick feet to beat the press jam and break into his route. Crisp route running skills. Good catch in traffic and separation quickness. He'll out run the defender with his speed. Good catching and very good ball tracking skills. Arnold uses his shifty and elusiveness to gain more yards after contact. Arnold left it all out on the field, and balled out .  </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":"Eli Stewart","_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":"6'0u0022","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_weight":"160","_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":"Palmer Ridge","_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-69379861ee0fb"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Stewart made the most out of his limited catching opportunities. The 6'0 160-pounds receiver had 2 receptions for 86 yards and 2 touchdowns. Stewart has good athletic ability due to very good acceleration, speed, good change of direction, and jumping. Good release at the line of scrimmage due to his quick feet. Stewart maintains quick breaks into his routes, and has fluid route running skills. Stewart has very good separation quickness due to his athletic ability and mental processing. Will sit in an open void to exploit it. Good ball tracking and catching. Plucks the ball out of the air and uses his home run speed to blaze past defenders. Another great performance by the senior.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
