The best in WI stood up and balled out to keep their teams alive and did it in dominant fashion. We saw a ton of one sided victories in Level 2, setting the stage for what should be an unforgettable Level 3. Before we get to that, though, we have several highlight reels to watch through. This group has done a great job all season long, and it is getting the results you dream about. We also included an athlete from a team that came up just short Friday night, but his name and talent needs to have the spotlight. So let's click play on the tape and see what these game breakers have to offer the next level!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2122307"],"_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"},"alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6ae91ce6853f6"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700"><strong><em>Stat Line: 20 Carries, 177 Yards, 2 TDs, 26 Receiving Yards, 1 TD</em></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>We start with a kid who has been absolutely dominating the 8 Man league in his first two years of high school football.

The success stems from his electric playmaking abilities with the ball in his hands. Get Clay in space and watch him work. He can beat defenders around the edge, make them miss 1 on 1 in the open field, and also has the speed to pull away in the open field. The 2029 RB is a nightmare to contain and he has been a big reason behind Owen-Withee's dominant run.

The 2027 doesn't need to work his way into a rhythm. If they need a big throw he has the clutch factor to be able to step up and deliver it. Hit play on the tape below and watch that first throw. A dime between three defenders, perfectly placed. You couldn't walk it down the field and place it better. The next play he delivers a pass on the move without his feet set and while he knew he was about to get hit. Joey is able to deliver accurate passes from different arm angles and without getting his feet set. The 2027 QB is just scratching the potential of what he could become.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/hudl {"name":"acf/hudl","data":{"embed_code":"u003ciframe src=u0022https://www.hudl.com/embed/video/3/19649335/6ae639fcff0a31cf05094faau0022 width=u0022640u0022 height=u0022360u0022 frameborder=u00220u0022 allowfullscreenu003eu003c/iframeu003e","_embed_code":"field_62daf7995fd8c"},"alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6ae91ce6854e5"} /--> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1336953"],"_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"},"alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6ae91ce68552b"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700"><strong><em>Stat Line: 3/7, 75 Yards, 1 TD, 75 Rushing Yards, 3 TDs</em></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Senior QB [player_tooltip player_id='1336953' first='Quinn' last='Schultz'] has been one of the most impactful athletes in WI this season. His dual threat abilities have Union Grove rolling into Level 3 with a ton of momentum. We didn't get a ton of passing action this week on tape, but the couple throws we got show off the 6'1" 205 lbs athlete's live arm. An arm that can put the ball on a rope to his target. Where he really stands out is with his legs. Quinn has the acceleration needed to attack between the tackles and hit holes before they can close. He has a top speed that beats angles through traffic or out in space. The kid carries the ball like a seasoned RB with his speed, vision, burst, and contact balance, but then he also has an arm that can be developed further at the next level. The senior offers position versatility too. He would be an intriguing ATH to add to a 2027 Class.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/hudl {"name":"acf/hudl","data":{"embed_code":"u003ciframe src=u0022https://www.hudl.com/embed/video/3/19692600/6ae5c24c4c6fff7538812215u0022 width=u0022640u0022 height=u0022360u0022 frameborder=u00220u0022 allowfullscreenu003eu003c/iframeu003e","_embed_code":"field_62daf7995fd8c"},"alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6ae91ce68554e"} /--> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2474356"],"_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"},"alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6ae91ce685590"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700"><strong><em>Stat Line: 14 Carries, 145 Yards, 2 TDs</em></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Another team rolling into Level 3 is Pewaukee on the back of their physically imposing offensive attack.

The junior RB is coming off a great week vs Waterford. I love the 2028's vision and patience behind the line. He lets things develop, but when he sees it you see him flip the switch and instantly burst through gaps. Benji has very quick feet, giving him the ability to cut or burst downhill suddenly.

Some of these surgical throws were against 9 defenders dropping into coverage too. Windows get pretty tight vs 9 guys in the secondary, but that didn't slow down Jack and this offense.

The senior is a dual threat that can kill a defense on designed runs or with his scrambling. The senior has a legit arm that can get him to the next level as well. He was very accurate attacking all three levels of the field.

The tape starts off with a look at that pure deep threat ability. Tracking the ball, adjusting, making the over-the-shoulder catch. TD #2 is a post route where he catches it in stride and lets those long strides keep space between him and the DB. The big man can also do damage underneath, using his big frame to protect the ball at the catch and then use his wingspan to keep DBs at bay.

Speed to take it the distance, soft hands and fluid route running. In the backfield you see the vision and burst to attack the weak spots in the defense's run support. The 2029 is so quick through traffic as well. He can attack inside or outside on the ground.

His quick decision making and excellent ball location allowed his guys to catch and run without breaking stride on a lot of their completions. The junior has such a strong command of the offense. Then on the ground he is a kid that has legit track speed and can get to the edge and down the sideline beating pursuit angles. Bode is a kid who can score any time he touches the ball, and with him being the QB that puts a ton of stress on the defense to be sound every single play.
