<p class="text-gray-700">Michael is having a huge year for Oxford this year and has them sitting at 5-1 on the season with there only loss to a 6-0 clarkston team that 31-28. Michael has phenomenal running a very complex offense to near perfection. Michael shows excellent poise for a sophomore but make no mistake this kid can sling the rock. Michael makes all the throws that you need to be effective and has tremendous zip in the ball. Michael also does a very good job improvising when a play breaks down and has made some huge play's out of the pocket. I am not sure there is a sophomore in the state that has been more impressive through 6 weeks and my guess is we have only seen the beginning of what seems to be a huge career for this wildcats QB.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Ike is off to a very good start to his sophomore year as he anchors the defensive line for the Freeland Falcons. Though the season is not going the way he would like in terms of win and losses he is not letting that stop him from working hard and being highly productive. Ike has an excellent first step from his defensive end spot and this allows him to make a ton of plays in the backfield whether its tackles for loss in the run game or its getting pressure on the Qb and causing bad throws. Ike plays with a very high motor and has very good raw power to overwhelm offensive lineman snap after snap. I am very high on Ike and he is the right guy to bring freeland back to the standard they have set there. </p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Emanuel is a player that has been flying a bit under the radar but he is starting to make some noise as his sophomore season rolls on. Emanuel is a player who flexes all over the defensive line. I am impressed with Emanuels ability to fight through double teams and make plays at the line of scrimmage. Emanuel also does an excellent job of using his hands to knock down offensive lineman hands as he rips through them in pass rushing situations. Emanuel is raw but there is a ton to love about his game as he continues to hone in on his craft and at 250 plus pounds he will become a real problem to block as we move forward.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Merrick is having a very impressive start to his sophomore season for the sharks from both sides of the ball. On defense Merrick is causing major issues for offensive lineman to handle. He has 53 tackles and 2 sacks through his first 6 weeks. Merrick is a twitchy d-lineman that has major power and a very good first step that has allowed him to live in the backfield of opposing offenses. On offense Merrick is the primary running back for Saint Louis. at 260 plus pounds he moves very well with the ball in his hands. He has a good jump cut and displays very light feet for a big running back but he also doesn't get cute and drops his pads and runs through tacklers. Merrick has accumulated over 500 rushing yards and is raising his stock on every Friday night. as only a sophomore he has room to continue to grow and is just scratching the surface of what is sure to be a huge career for the sharks.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Halston is a player who shows very good versatility for a big man which included a touchdown run last week. But where Halston makes his money is blasting holes for his running backs. Halston is extremely powerful and does a good job off engaging with defensive lineman and shoving them off there spots and he overpowers them in the run game. Halston has also been solid on the defensive line as he anchors a very good positional group. Halston is a player that I really like and he continues to get better and better every week. He has excellent feet and this makes him very intriguing moving forward as he develops and sharpens his skill set. </p>
