Saturday Afternoon 12U Producers at Great Plains Gauntlet

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Future standouts of great plains high school football took the stage on Saturday afternoon in Nebraska!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Kash Jones, Wide Receiver, SF Sharks (SD) </strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Was a favored target all afternoon long and it was for good reason. Actually it was a variety of good reasons. He's a big target, but knows when to throttle down and present himself as a target for his QB. Can also really open it up when he catches on the move, as at one point he caught it in the middle of the field and his long stride allowed him to beat the defenders to the corner. Made plays on defense as well, recording a pick. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Dave Moavero, Wide Receiver/Linebacker, Thunderbird Elite (NE)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Moavero made plays all day long. From patrolling the short middle on defense to swat down passes. To having really good hands, even calmly catching passes thrown behind him. Has some deceptive shiftiness and burst when he's able to cut up field and juke defenders. One of the most consistent players from the afternoon. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Lucas Porter, Wide Receiver, Warren Academy (NE)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Big target, who made customary big body catches. Even working the sidelines well. While also showing a bit of the wheels when attacking the seam. Has the type of frame that would like to see how he works in pads, because he could be a physical weapon. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Ronnie Brown, Quarterback, Strongside KC</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Brown had the Strongside offense humming on Saturday afternoon. It was especially impressively as he was throwing passes that cut through the steady wind. Threw it all levels. Hitting his wide receivers with back shoulder throws on the sideline. Leading them on underneath routes. Fitting it into tight windows in the middle of the field. Good vision on his passes and made sure a lot of his teammates ate in victories. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Ryker Metzig, Wide Receiver/Defensive Back, Strongside KC </strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Speaking of Browns' teammates, Metzig put on a bit of a show in a Saturday afternoon win. One second he would get loose on then sideline, racing past the defense for a quick strike touchdown. Then he would flip sides and makes plays on the defensive end. Aggressive when jumping passes underneath, even snagging an interception.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
