He has been on a tear in his Senior year through the first two weeks and has had back to back strong showings against top competition. McDonald rushed for 180 yards and 2 scores on Friday night against Capital in a 42-27 point win against a explosive offense with some good pieces. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":2365723,"_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-6a9646330af5d"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Lungu has been off to a hot start to begin his senior season and is one of the better and more productive backs whose name keeps popping up. He is a low to the ground compact runner that gets behind his pads and has good pad level and leg drive through contact while showing he can bounce off tacklers and gain the tough yards inside. He has been on a tear so far this year rushing for 332 yards and 4 touchdowns last week and is going to finish as one of the top rushers in the state. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":2365725,"_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-6a9646330afa4"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Shelton has been enjoying a nice senior season to start the year, and is going to be drawing some late D3 attention here soon right after the season. He is a strong runner with good vision, start/stop abilities in the hole and can make tacklers miss in tight windows. Shelton also shows he can cutback against flow, stays behind his blocks before he breaks away and is a fluid runner in the open field. He has already rushed for 337 yards and 5 touchdowns and should be closing in on the 1,000 yard marker by the mid way point of the season. Look for Shelton to be a main breakout player this year and a name that comes up week to week. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1738207"],"_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-6a9646330afea"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Campos is another steady presence on the receiving end of things for Homedale and is off to quite the start to begin the year and is another player that has been flying under the radar and is going to have a monster season. He has just under 20 receptions and 297 yards receiving with 3 touchdowns through two games and is another prospect that is well on his way to getting into the 1,000 yard mark range. He is a twitchy player that can lineup in the slot or outside, has some downfield speed and can make tough catches with plus tracking abilities and snatches the ball out of the air and is going to be fun to watch in his final prep season. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2079354"],"_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-6a9646330b02d"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">The Ridgevue signal caller has been one of the up and coming names since last year and has seemed to pick up right where he left off behind center. He is a bigger framed kid that is strong in the pocket, throws the deep ball well and spreads it out consistently to his weapons on the outside. He has been on a hot streak so far to start the year and has thrown for over 640 yards through only two games and at this rate will be near the 3,000 yard passing mark by the end of the year. He has no shortage of weapons to throw to and does a nice job spreading it around and leading his receivers open while fitting it into tight coverage. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
