Music City Mayhem: Scouting The 10U Champions

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The Music City Mayhem 7v7 tournament concluded on Sunday afternoon, and the talented NPA 10U squad captured the division championship. They were loaded on all levels, as they dominated their competition, winning nearly every game by double digits.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>I carefully watched this team throughout the day and took notes on some of their best players. So, in this article, I'm going to be scouting four of their stars.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:separator --> <hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity" /> <!-- /wp:separator --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>QB [player_tooltip player_id='2150095' first='Mason' last='Warren']</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>This National Playmakers Academy team was led by star quarterback [player_tooltip player_id='2150095' first='Mason' last='Warren'], who thoroughly impressed everyone at Music City Mayhem. He possesses solid size for his age, in a good frame that will allow him to play physical and take contact in regular football.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Warren is a good passer with a nice arm and solid touch on his passes. For the most part, he is a good decision-maker who is willing to take what defenses give him, with impressive anticipation.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:separator --> <hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity" /> <!-- /wp:separator --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>WR [player_tooltip player_id='2149951' first='Adreon' last='France']</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2149951' first='Adreon' last='France'] was a solid contributor to NPA 10U, making some big plays throughout the two-day event. He offers solid size for his age, but is a fluid mover who can be a dangerous downfield shot.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>He made a couple of deep receptions while being productive with intermediate routes. France has good hands, allowing him to make tough grabs. Don't sleep on his ability to produce after the catch, as he showed off that skill as well.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:separator --> <hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity" /> <!-- /wp:separator --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>WR Kingston Odell</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>National Playmakers Academy 10U had several big-time players on offense, but Kingston Odell was arguably the best. He's well-built for his age with impressive physical tools, making him a problem anywhere on the field.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Odell is a true do-it-all player, thanks to his versatility as an athlete. He possesses excellent hands, can make plays at every level of the gridiron, has good speed, nice elusiveness and an impressive ability to shake defenders.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:separator --> <hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity" /> <!-- /wp:separator --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>WR Carter Gidney</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Last, but certainly not least, we have Carter Gidney. He was an underrated player on this NPA team due to the star power, but he is a very sound football player. The young buck is a great athlete with all the physical tools, including good size for his age.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>He made plays downfield and was a chain mover for his quarterback. Gidney used his athleticism and elusiveness to make defenders look silly</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
