A tricky schedule was afloat, as games against Whitesboro, CBA-Albany, and Liverpool in the playoffs. The Playoffs showcased games against Bennett, Liverpool, and Saratoga Springs, en route to a repeat State Championship. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Top Prospect</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2198767"],"_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-6a6b6d85770d4"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='2198767' first='Arthur' last='Jones IV'] has football lineage in his DNA. The talented EDGE Rusher has picked up over 20 Offers throughout his High School career. Jones is a talented EDGE, who shows explosiveness and excellent hands as a Pass Rusher. Jones is a player who I would fear lining up across from on the football field. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">X-Factors</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1513284"],"_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-6a6b6d8577141"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Ariola isn a talented RB who will be stepping into the lead back role as the Senior Back this fall. He is a quick and shifty RB who can make players miss and create massive gains with his legs. Ariola is a player who behind an elite O-Line can feast and be a big time playmaker for this offense.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["939906"],"_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-6a6b6d8577182"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">The Brown Commit and Veteran Signal Caller for the Offense Garden Dixon is easily a X-Factor for CBA-Syracuse. His production and success will lead the offense, and help them navigate a tricky schedule. He has a strong arm, along with good accuracy. He can read a defense well. Dixon is a threat to any defense this fall. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["939933"],"_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-6a6b6d85771bc"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='939933' first='Juelz' last='Burgos'] is an elite defensive threat who will lead the defensive line this fall. The Buffalo commit held multiple offers from D1 Programs. He will be a major threat due to his elite hands, and strength. Burgos will be against some tricky offensive line this fall and reaching the backfield, will help stop the talented offenses the Brother's will face. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1364029"],"_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-6a6b6d85771f4"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Achuff is another talented DL-Prospect who I also view as an X-Factor. Stopping one talented Defensive Lineman is impressive but limiting two is almost impossible. Opposing Lineman will have to limit Achuff and Burgos. Achuff has good strength and a nice tool bag of moves he can use to reach the backfield. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Names To Know</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:table --> <figure class="wp-block-table"><table class="has-fixed-layout"><tbody><tr><td>Name</td><td>Class</td><td>Position</td><td>Notes</td></tr><tr><td>[player_tooltip player_id='1157663' first='Khalen' last='Reese']</td><td>2028</td><td>RB</td><td>Talented and young RB on the roster.

The talented two-way prospect can play both as a WR/DB and I can see him making an impact mainly as a Pass Catcher. Mike is an elite player who showcases good size and skills. He easily can be a big time playmaker for the Brothers this fall. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Key Losses</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>RB-Isaiah Coleman</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>QB-Dominick Sgambellone </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>WR-Kieghlin Hicks</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>DB-Donovan Collins</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>LB-Riley Clemons Butenko</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>OL-Khalil Cox</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>OL-Cody Cloutier</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Schedule</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><a href="https://www.arbiterlive.com/Teams/Schedule/7673445?activeEntityId=27025">https://www.arbiterlive.com/Teams/Schedule/7673445?activeEntityId=27025</a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">2026 Outlook</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The schedule for the Brothers is elite. This year the Brothers are playing teams from all across the state of New York and other states. Starting off the year against Iona Prep in the Dome will be the game of the year as the top two teams meet. The rest of the year sees a competitive schedule against teams like Catholic Memorial, Canisius, St. Joseph Collegiate, and St, Francis. One Section Three game is listed against Baldwinsville, due to an ongoing debate with Section Three and the Brothers. Due to this they are playing some of the top teams across the state. With a talented roster, a few key departures and Questions about Playoffs and the future of their Scheduling, can the Brothers bring home another Undefeated Season? </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
