[player_tooltip player_id='853812' first='Brock' last='Brimhall'] has been great in his senior season for Colonial Forge and he showed once again Friday why. Throwing for over 300 yards and 2 touchdowns, Brimhall was in control all evening. The game winning drive against a Wolverines secondary that is littered with ball hawks, the senior remained poised and threw a beauty of a pass to [player_tooltip player_id='1645084' first='Jeremiah' last='Wise']. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/Brock_Brimhall/status/1972064146876207379","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/Brock_Brimhall/status/1972064146876207379 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1297886"],"_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-68da8083a35dd"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Gainesville got their first win in 2025 and got a strong performance out of quarterback [player_tooltip player_id='1297886' first='David' last='Howe']. In the Cardinals blowout win over Osbourn Park, Howe torched the Yellowjackets for 4 touchdown passes and 260 yards passing. He really has settled in under center for Coach Cage and Gainesville still has time to make a push for the playoffs. More outings like this one from Howe and you can bet on seeing the Cardinals back in Districts once again.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["853897"],"_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-68da8083a3684"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Patriot has quietly regrouped since their 0-2 start to back to. 500 play and running back [player_tooltip player_id='853897' first='Jamir' last='Brown'] is making plays. Only needing 6 carries to cross the 100 yard rushing mark in the Pioneers shutout of Unity Reed, Brown had 137 yards on the ground with 2 scores. He has more than filled in admirably replacing the production of Jackson McCarter, look for him to have a bigger role as the Pioneers begin conference play. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1298612"],"_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-68da8083a36f4"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">The Alexandria City Titans are one of the few remaining unbeatens left in Class 6 at 5-0. The Titans have the whole zip code excited and they are getting elite play out of quarterback [player_tooltip player_id='1298612' first='Alpha' last='Jalloh']. He is a run first qb who makes plays with his legs and arms. Gashing Lewis two weeks ago for over 200 yards rushing, Jalloh is taking the Patriot District by storm. He added two more rushing touchdowns in their thriller over Woodson on Friday, Jalloh has Titans fans thinking about the playoffs!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/dmvalpha28/status/1972393724304076986","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/dmvalpha28/status/1972393724304076986 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1201847"],"_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-68da8083a375e"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">The Loudoun Valley Vikings are on fire not just at the Varsity level either. All three squads at the freshmen, JV and Varsity level have yet to loose a a game! [player_tooltip player_id='1201847' first='Ethan' last='LaFollette'] is one of the many reasons why Loudoun Valley remains unblemished, his latest outing included 216 rushing yards and a pick six. His junior season is off to an historic start, one that perhaps will help lead him and his teammates to Region/State gold?</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/ethanlaf3/status/1972401689484263448","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/ethanlaf3/status/1972401689484263448 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1349345"],"_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-68da8083a37be"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">I can't keep writing about the same kids, but when they have performances like the one [player_tooltip player_id='1349345' first='Kellen' last='Lewis'] did this past week how can I not? His second 300 yard rushing performance on the season, he has been arguably the MVP through the first half of the season in Prince William County. When you know the amount of talent in that area that statement is bold, but trust me, Forest Park's [player_tooltip player_id='1349345' first='Kellen' last='Lewis'] is willing the Bruins to a playoff run. Already topping the 1,000 yard threshold in just 5 games, whose to say he can't reach 2000?</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/KellenLewis_13/status/1972055754787246110","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/KellenLewis_13/status/1972055754787246110 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1298213"],"_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-68da8083a381a"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='1298213' first='Scott' last='Lewis'] was once again flawless and smart with the football in West Springfield overtime win against South County.

With a 77 percent completion rating, Shields helped the Wildcats hand the Generals their first loss on the year.

Getting the call to start under center for the first time this fall, Walrath lead Loudoun Sports Academy in a blowout win over Hewlett Academy. Throwing for three touchdowns and maybe 3 incompletions, he was in total command all night. I wonder if he will remain the starter for Coach Woods squad the rest of the way as he was flawless in their win. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1298258"],"_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-68dac7580703f"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">We may not have ranked receiver [player_tooltip player_id='1298258' first='Jourdan' last='Simpson'] high enough in our 2026 pre-season rankings if I am being honest. If I would have known he was going to average over 100 yards receiving and multiple touchdowns a game he probably would of cracked our top 200. My error aside Simpson is playing great football and he is torching secondaries every week. He got behind the Generals tough defense many times with 8 receptions and 129 yards. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/simpson_jourdan/status/1971933424425595254","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/simpson_jourdan/status/1971933424425595254 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
