Coatesville is always one of the better teams in the Ches-Mont League and District 1. They are getting an excellent quarterback.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:html --> <blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">🚨🚨🚨 Coaches here are the dates I will be throwing live!! <a href="https://twitter.com/Football_Cville?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@Football_Cville</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/CoachVWilliams?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@CoachVWilliams</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/CoachMattOrtega?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@CoachMattOrtega</a> <br><br>Fri 4/24 6am <br>Wed 4/29 4pm<br>Fri 5/1 6am<br>Wed 5/6 4pm<br>Fri 5/8 6am <a href="https://t.co/UFFfGiknM2">pic.twitter.com/UFFfGiknM2</a></p>&mdash; Mikal Shank Jr QB C/O 2027 (@mikalshankjr) <a href="https://twitter.com/mikalshankjr/status/2038727739436318906?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">March 30, 2026</a></blockquote> <!-- /wp:html --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["453138"],"_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-69cdc43a46bf6"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='453138' first='Justice' last='Hardy'] is one of the best prospects in the 2027 class.
