Polk County 7v7 Championship: Notable Standouts (Part I)

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>On a hot and sunny Saturday, the Polk County 7v7 Championship brought together some of the notable high school football talent in the area. It was a fiercely competitive event, with teams battling it out to get in some valuable practice before the fall season starts. It was good to see so many Polk teams come together for this event. In the end, it was Fort Meade who emerged victorious, thanks to some impressive performances on both sides of the ball. National Scout Drew Johnson was on hand to identify some standout players, and the event was a great showcase for the talent that Polk County has to offer.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>QB Standouts:</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><em>Carson Montsdeoca | QB | Class of 2024 | Fort Meade | @CarsonMontsdeo1&nbsp;</em></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><em>I'm telling you first, </em><strong><em>Carson Montsdeoca</em></strong><em> is one of if not the top QB prospects in the Polk County area. He's a sleeper recruit that's being overlooked behind center because of his baseball commitment to the Florida Gators. It's clear to many that Montsdeaoca is a true QB threat because of his good frame, footwork mechanics, and natural arm talent.&nbsp;</em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><em>Joel Morris | QB | Class of 2026 | Lake Gibson | @1_Joel_Morris</em></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><em>Morris returned from injury to get some work in with his teammates on Saturday and hasn't missed a step. Threw a few deep ball dimes but getting the timing down with receivers and coordinators is more important for his progression. Morris has plenty of time and determination to be a big-time QB prospect shortly.</em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Best of Rest:</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Blaine Walker | QB | Class of 2025 | Bartow | @QB1_11</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1230944' first='Amari' last='Turner'] | QB | Class of 2025 | Auburndale | @10Free_AT</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>WR Standouts:</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><em><strong>Joshua Porter | WR | Class of 2024 | Fort Meade | @PorterJoshuaWR2</strong></em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><em>Porter is the best WR in Polk Hands Down.
