Kentucky BOTR: Region 2 c/o 2030 Wide Receiver Preview

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>In March 2025, Region 2 had a mixed bag of results in the Kentucky Middle School Football Association (KYMSFA) Battle of the Regions (BOTR) tournament. Both last year's 8th Grade Team (2029) and 6th Grade Team (2031) finished 3rd in convincing fashion, following tough opening round matchups with the eventual champions. However, the 7th Grade Team (2030) Region 2 squad brought home the crown and is now back to do it again as 8th Graders in 2026. Here's a preview of the Wide Receivers on the roster.<br></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2155033"],"_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-69c1eb0a003e4"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">It is without question that [player_tooltip player_id='2155033' first='Boaz' last='Rexford'] is not only one of the top Wideouts in Region 2, but in all of Kentucky, when looking at the class of 2030. He's physically impressive for a WR prospect only getting ready to enter high school. Comes with long arms and is already deadlifting over 350 pounds.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul class="wp-block-list"><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>2025 KYMSFA D1 Regional POY Honorable Mention</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul class="wp-block-list"><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>Helped WJ reach KYMSFA 8th Grade State Semifinals in 2025</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul class="wp-block-list"><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>Sister Abby Pole Vaults at Wichita State &amp; Sister Anna played Soccer at Cincinnati </li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1652060"],"_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-69c1eb0a00463"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Brystin Piles suits up for Region 2 as one of the most highly decorated middle school Wide Receivers in the state of Kentucky. A team Captain for Henry Co. in 2025, he recorded 17 Touchdowns this past season. Comes with good size and strength.

He's a physical kid who does not shy away from contact, hence why I like him as a Safety.
