Hatfield couldn't be slowed down let alone stopped in the Hawks' win over county rival Liberty-Harrison. He carried the ball 28 times for 325 yards and 4 touchdowns in the 36-20 victory. Hatfield ran the ball hard on top of his known athletic capabilities and did a great job breaking away from first and second contact. He's showing why we ranked him as the early top running back in this class with a very strong start to his sophomore season. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/hudl {"name":"acf/hudl","data":{"embed_code":"u003ciframe src='https://www.hudl.com/embed/video/3/19819164/66ddd4106d64f68b3e672d09' width='640' height='360' frameborder='0' allowfullscreenu003eu003c/iframeu003e","_embed_code":"field_62daf7995fd8c"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-66e1bd8570b25"} /--> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>DEFENSIVE PLAYER OF THE WEEK</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1430947"],"_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-66e1bd8570b7b"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700"><em>3 interceptions</em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A new name to our 2028 radar who is impressing early for the Philip Barbour Colts is defensive back [player_tooltip player_id='1430947' first='Robbie' last='Jones'].

He's one of the leaders in interceptions in the state through the first two weeks of the 2024 season having also picked off a pass in their week one game against Grafton.

The Renegades relied on his legs in the tough 21-20 win as he carried the ball 30 times for 177 yards a touchdown while also throwing for 142 yards and another score.

Strother totaled 16 tackles and a TFL in the 21-20 setback and put some good things on film in week two. He looks improved from a strong junior season and was flying around from his middle linebacker spot while playing with high effort and pursuing the ball well. Strother appears to be reading and diagnosing plays quicker and getting downhill faster than he showed last season. If he keeps this level of play up for the rest of the season he could be a rankings stock riser. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/hudl {"name":"acf/hudl","data":{"embed_code":"u003ciframe src='https://www.hudl.com/embed/video/3/19532230/66de42774e70d7f871da9317' width='640' height='360' frameborder='0' allowfullscreenu003eu003c/iframeu003e","_embed_code":"field_62daf7995fd8c"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-66e1bd8570c06"} /--> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1106035"],"_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-66e1d969d619b"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700"><em>12 carries 191 yards 3 touchdowns</em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Another premiere player in Class AA this season is 2025 Roane County RB/LB [player_tooltip player_id='1106035' first='Lane' last='Watson'] who has stacked two very good weeks in a row for the Beavers. Watson went over 150 rushing yards again this week, nearly eclipsed 200 yards, and scored 3 touchdowns on just 12 carries in the 42-12 win over Lincoln County. With his combination of size and athleticism, it's going to be very tough for a Class AA foe to slow Watson down this season as a rare D1 prospect in the class. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/hudl {"name":"acf/hudl","data":{"embed_code":"u003ciframe src='https://www.hudl.com/embed/video/3/16515296/66df9fd6bb5391aeb3ae18ff' width='640' height='360' frameborder='0' allowfullscreenu003eu003c/iframeu003e","_embed_code":"field_62daf7995fd8c"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-66e1d969d61c9"} /--> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1139033"],"_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-66e1d969d620a"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700"><em>7 carries 82 yards 2 touchdowns - 35-yard pass - 1 interception</em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>2026 Moorefield DB/ATH [player_tooltip player_id='1139033' first='Brock' last='Linville'] had a strong performance against Rocktown (VA) in week that was worthy mentioning among our Top Performers. We like Linville as a DB prospect but he can get it done as a run-first quarterback for the Yellow Jackets as he rushed for 82 yards and 2 touchdowns on just 7 carries. Linville showed good quickness and closing speed on defense while picking off a pass from his safety spot. He can also be dynamic in Moorefield's option offense and showed a good burst and some explosiveness in that scheme. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/hudl {"name":"acf/hudl","data":{"embed_code":"u003ciframe src='https://www.hudl.com/embed/video/3/17450265/66dc63a1bb770aa0a841fec7' width='640' height='360' frameborder='0' allowfullscreenu003eu003c/iframeu003e","_embed_code":"field_62daf7995fd8c"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-66e1d969d622b"} /--> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1127708"],"_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-66e1d969d6268"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700"><em>3 receptions 95 yards 1 touchdown - 1 FF</em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The Poca Dots have shown they can air the ball out this season with a strong passing game and 2026 Nitro transfer WR [player_tooltip player_id='1127708' first='DJ' last='Combs'] will be a key piece of their aerial success. Combs caught 3 passes for 95 yards and a touchdown in the 19-6 win over Midland Trail and forced a fumble on defense. He looked quick out of the slot and did a great job rerouting on a bit of a scramble drill for his long touchdown reception finding open space for his quarterback to find him with good improvisation. He's an under-the-radar prospect to keeps tabs on over the next two seasons as he gets more game film. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/hudl {"name":"acf/hudl","data":{"embed_code":"u003ciframe src='https://www.hudl.com/embed/video/3/17918518/66dbf2c15b3f19c576a059e7' width='640' height='360' frameborder='0' allowfullscreenu003eu003c/iframeu003e","_embed_code":"field_62daf7995fd8c"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-66e1d969d6287"} /--> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["865341"],"_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-66e1d969d62c4"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700"><em>2/2 FG 34 &amp; 37 yards - 2/2 PATs</em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Our #1 ranked 2027 kicker [player_tooltip player_id='865341' first='Micah' last='Cuthbert'] had a strong showing in Independence's 20-0 shutout of Class AAA Brooke.

Cuthbert's mechanics looked smooth on that field goal and his PAT kicks. He showed he can be a weapon for the Patriots on special teams when his name is called upon.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/CuthbertMicah/status/1832575537866256668","type":"rich","providerNameSlug":"twitter","responsive":true} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/CuthbertMicah/status/1832575537866256668 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1015079' first='Dylan' last='Vance'] - 2025 Mingo Central RB | <em>10 carries 145 yards 1 touchdown</em></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='907920' first='Taegan' last='Hackney'] - 2027 Mingo Central LB | <em>15 tackles 1 TFL</em></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='894677' first='Isaac' last='Williams'] - 2026 Liberty-Raleigh RB | <em>54 yards rushing 4 touchdowns</em></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1139399' first='Devin' last='Nash'] - 2026 Nicholas County LB | <em>17 carries 78 yards - 3 receptions 68 yards 2 touchdowns - 13 tackles</em></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Max Olejasz - 2026 Wheeling Central TE | <em>3 receptions 124 yards 2 touchdowns</em></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1580713' first='Cooper' last='Billingsley'] - 2025 Williamstown RB | <em>173 rushing yards 2 touchdowns</em></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1580708' first='Carder' last='Shanholtz'] - 2026 Frankfort RB | <em>5 carries 122 yards 2 touchdowns</em></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='908991' first='Jullian' last='Pattison'] - 2025 Frankfort RB/LB | <em>10 carries 116 yards 1 touchdown</em></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1466136' first='Jakoby' last='Nichols'] - 2026 Clay County WR/DB | <em>2 receptions 104 yards 2 touchdowns - Pick 6</em></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1309692' first='Lucas' last='Lambert'] - 2028 Logan RB/LB | <em>6 carries 96 yards 2 touchdowns</em></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1316835' first='Austin' last='Vannest'] - 2025 Ravenswood RB | <em>29 carries 101 yards 2 touchdowns - 8 tackles 2 TFLs</em></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Jayden Wayman - 2026 Wayne RB | <em>114 rushing yards 1 touchdown</em></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1139001' first='Kaiden' last='Hayton'] - 2026 Wayne ATH | <em>101 rushing yards 1 touchdown</em></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1153783' first='Logan' last='Beam'] - 2026 Philip Barbour RB | <em>3 rushing touchdowns</em></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>WEEK THREE GAME OF THE WEEK</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:heading {"level":3} --> <h3 class="wp-block-heading">Clay County vs Roane County</h3> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>This Class AA matchup will likely determine some playoff seeding down the road as the undefeated Roane County Beavers travel to unblemished Clay County in a big week three game. Each team will have one of the premiere players in Class AA this season with 2025 Clay County QB [player_tooltip player_id='832676' first='Noah' last='Collins'] and 2025 Roane County RB/LB [player_tooltip player_id='1106035' first='Lane' last='Watson'] who have both put up huge state lines in the first two games of the season. Neither team has truly been tested yet this year but that is going to change quickly on Friday night as someone has to take their first loss of the young season. Roane County's strong run game and beef up front could be the difference in this one if they can keep Collins and the Clay County explosive passing offense off the field and limit offensive possessions for the Panthers. Collins could keep the Panthers in this game for a while with his play on both sides of the ball, but we ultimately see Roane County pulling away as the game goes on.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Score Prediction: </strong>Roane County 34 Clay County 13</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
