He carried the ball 18 times for 163 yards and two touchdowns, with both scoring runs coming on explosive plays that showcased his burst and breakaway speed. Poindexter also showed good footwork and pad level throughout the night, mixing in some tough runs between the tackles with timely outside runs where he broke loose. It was a strong all-around rushing performance and a great Week 2 showing from Poindexter Jr in the win. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/hudl {"name":"acf/hudl","data":{"embed_code":"u003ciframe src=u0022https://www.hudl.com/embed/video/3/22927429/6a9dc5282c010b94e7bd8c7cu0022 width=u0022640u0022 height=u0022360u0022 frameborder=u00220u0022 allowfullscreenu003eu003c/iframeu003e","_embed_code":"field_62daf7995fd8c"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6aa17fc19187f"} /--> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["862731"],"_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-6aa05cb1cd4ef"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700"><strong>24/26 227 yards 3 touchdowns 42 rushing yards</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>2027 Princeton QB [player_tooltip player_id='862731' first='Jake' last='Belcher'] put together another highly efficient performance in the Tigers' big road win over Bluefield. Belcher finished 24/26 for 227 yards and three touchdowns while adding 42 rushing yards, helping the Tigers knock off a very good Beavers team. Through two weeks, Belcher has completed over 90% of his passes on 29/31 attempts, an impressive start to his first season as Princeton's starter. After record-setting QB Chance Barker graduated, Belcher had big shoes to fill, but the transition has been seamless so far, with several more big matchups ahead for the Tigers.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/hudl {"name":"acf/hudl","data":{"embed_code":"u003ciframe src=u0022https://www.hudl.com/embed/video/3/19263045/6a9bacf22c010b94e7aeeffbu0022 width=u0022640u0022 height=u0022360u0022 frameborder=u00220u0022 allowfullscreenu003eu003c/iframeu003e","_embed_code":"field_62daf7995fd8c"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6aa17fc1918fe"} /--> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1311020"],"_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-6aa05cb1cd536"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700"><strong>22 carries 162 rushing yards 3TD 1 INT</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Point Pleasant has found a new way to get its top athlete the ball, with 2028 ATH [player_tooltip player_id='1311020' first='Isaiah' last='Waminan'] making the most of his move into the backfield this season. Waminan rushed 22 times for 162 yards and three touchdowns in the win over Gallia Academy (OH), while also picking off a pass on defense. After playing receiver last season, Waminan has moved to running back this year, giving the Big Blacks a way to get the ball in his hands more often and more easily. His natural athleticism has made the transition smooth, but he also showed he can run hard and earned his production on the ground in a strong Week 2 performance and a good win for the Big Blacks.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/WaminanIsaiah/status/2097013352203440243","type":"rich","providerNameSlug":"x","responsive":true} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-x wp-block-embed-x"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/WaminanIsaiah/status/2097013352203440243 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1701489"],"_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-6aa05cb1cd566"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700"><strong>9 carries 111 yards 1 touchdown INT</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>2028 RB/LB [player_tooltip player_id='1701489' first='Cole' last='Holland'] brought the physicality Keyser needed in the Golden Tornado's Week 2 win over Lewis County. Holland ran for 111 yards and a touchdown on just 9 carries, doing most of his damage as a downhill runner between the tackles. Holland consistently ran through contact, fell forward, and dragged defenders for extra yards, making him tough to defend in Keyser's Wing-T attack. He added to his night on defense with an interception that he returned inside the Minutemen's 10-yard line, showing his impact on both sides of the ball. His hard-nosed running style complements Dominick Crawford's speed in the backfield and is a nice 1-2 combination for Keyser.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/hudl {"name":"acf/hudl","data":{"embed_code":"u003ciframe src=u0022https://www.hudl.com/embed/video/3/22999525/6a9c20cf2c010b94e7b34dd9u0022 width=u0022640u0022 height=u0022360u0022 frameborder=u00220u0022 allowfullscreenu003eu003c/iframeu003e","_embed_code":"field_62daf7995fd8c"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6aa17fc1919b4"} /--> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>OTHER TOP PERFORMANCES</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>2028 North Marion QB [player_tooltip player_id='1700914' first='Kolson' last='Brown'] - 110 passing yards 3 touchdowns 55 rushing yards</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>2028 John Marshall RB [player_tooltip player_id='1624347' first='Dalton' last='Cooper'] - 233 total yards 3 touchdowns</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>2928 John Marshall QB [player_tooltip player_id='1624336' first='Landon' last='Cook'] - 8/12 194 passing yards 3 touchdowns</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>2028 South Charleston RB [player_tooltip player_id='1309691' first='Malakhi' last='Hope'] - 190 rushing yards 2 touchdowns</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>2028 South Charleston RB/EDGE [player_tooltip player_id='1309678' first='Trevaun' last='Tyson'] - 115 rushing yards 1 touchdown 2 FF</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>2027 Elkins RB [player_tooltip player_id='1155298' first='Seth' last='Robinson'] - 27 carries 161 yards 1 touchdown</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>2028 Nitro ATH/QB [player_tooltip player_id='2255049' first='Nysiaha' last='Walker'] - 12/14 293 total yards 4 total touchdowns</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>2027 Bridgeport ATH/K [player_tooltip player_id='1155329' first='Gavin' last='Williams'] - 277 all-purpose yards 2 touchdowns</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>2027 Herbert Hoover RB [player_tooltip player_id='1155316' first='David' last='Robinson Jr'] - 15 carries 195 yards 2 receptions 80 yards 3 touchdowns</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>2027 PikeView QB/ATH Braden Huggins - Passing TD Rushing TD 76-yard INT TD</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>2027 PikeView RB [player_tooltip player_id='2220798' first='Moose' last='Hedrick'] - 132 rushing yards 2 touchdowns</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>2029 Princeton RB/LB [player_tooltip player_id='1716418' first='Aaron' last='Hood Jr'] - 128 rushing yards 1 touchdown 64 receiving yards 1 touchdown</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>2028 Elkins RB Tony Silvester - 9 carries 134 yards 1 touchdown</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>2027 Ripley QB [player_tooltip player_id='2221286' first='Jackson' last='Moore'] - 125 passing yards 155 rushing yards 2 touchdowns</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>2027 Ripley ATH [player_tooltip player_id='2081703' first='Peyton' last='Keller'] - 6 receptions 110 yards</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>2028 Ripley RB Jordan Adkins - 17 carries 109 yards 3 touchdowns</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>2027 Bridgeport RB/LB [player_tooltip player_id='1154891' first='Gabe' last='Martin'] - 19 carries 132 yards 1 touchdown 10 tackles</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>2029 Nitro RB [player_tooltip player_id='1748520' first='CJ' last='Lovejoy'] - 16 carries 121 yards 1 touchdown</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>2027 Robert C.
