The Pats are ranked #1 and have a perfect 3-0 record. Lincoln is averaging 56 ppg! In the first two weeks of the season, Brody produced an astonishing 14 TOUCHDOWNS! In week 3, Schafer went 8/13 passing for 172 yards and 4 TD's, he also rushed for 55 yards. On the court, Brody is a proven winner—a clutch playmaker who rises to the moment. He's an athletic two-way force, impacting the game on both ends with energy, skill, and a knack for making big plays when it matters most.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2966834"],"_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-68cb6e205cd1f"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">The Elks are 3-1 and ranked #3 in 9AA football. Colt is starring as the quarterback. Last week, ELB took down De Smet 65-20 and Beck threw for a whopping 5 TOUCHDOWNS! In basketball, Colt is tough two-way player. He is a very good defender and a talented perimeter shooter. Beck has been starting since his sophomore year, expect him to go out with a bang this season. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1466940"],"_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-68cb6e205cd99"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">The big, strong, and tough Mr. Smith is having a high-quality football season at OLB and TE. Colton is playing so well that he has even drawn interest from D1 programs. In hoops, Smith is a returning All-Stater in AA. Colton is a Double-Double machine known for his relentless motor. Strong and gritty, he dominates the glass, defends tough inside, and finishes efficiently around the rim.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2966835"],"_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-68cb6e205cdf6"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">The Elks sit at 3-1 and hold the #3 spot in 9AA, with Erickson powering the offense as their standout running back. This past week vs. De Smet, Eliot exploded for 3 touchdowns and 165 rushing yards. In bball, Erickson is a proven starter since his sophomore year. He is primed for a big senior season. Known for his strong defense and ability to attack the rim as a productive slasher, he also brings value as a streaky but dangerous shooter when hot.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1642569"],"_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-68cb6e205ce4f"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">The Cardinals are 4-0 and ranked #3 in 9B. LeBrun is having a big season on the gridiron. Earlier this season, Lincoln had six carries for 197 yards and two touchdowns, along with a reception for 11 yards. He also threw a two-point conversion in the 52-0 win over Arlington. It looks like the Cards are in for a spectacular season! In hoops, Lincoln is a smart, high-IQ player and relentless worker set for an expanded role this winter. He brings nonstop energy, is a knockdown spot-up shooter, defends the opponent's top player, and leads with toughness and hustle.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2249810"],"_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-68ca32187ebfc"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">He is playing great on the gridiron and the Sharks have a 2-1 record. Through 3 games, Peskey has 444 rushing yards on 49 carries. That is 9.06 yards/carry and 148 yards/game. Lucas has 2 rushing TD's and 208 receiving yards on 10 receptions. That is 20.80 yards/rec and 69.33 yards/game, and he has 2 receiving TD's. In hoops, Peskey is an outstanding athlete and an unselfish teammate. He can score the rock and also facilitate. Lucas is also a fantastic defender, he is a thief who creates a ton of turnovers. He stuffs the stat sheet and will put up incredible numbers this winter. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1559131"],"_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-68cb6e205ced2"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">The Cardinals are 4-0 and ranked #3 in 9B. This past Friday, Mr. Hanson (QB/RB) went for 244 yards on 20 carries with 3 touchdowns. 3 of the TD's came from rushing and 1 from receiving. DRSM took down Colman-Egan 54-6. On the court, Trimmier is a fast, savvy lead guard. This Cardinal impacts the game everywhere—distributing with flair, grinding out hustle plays, and finishing strong in traffic. With sharp handles, composure under pressure, and a bigger scoring role ahead, he's poised to keep the Cards tough to beat.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2249367"],"_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-68cb23f2ad0fe"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The Warriors have 2-2 record this season. Zac is a three-starter at defensive back.&nbsp;He has been a mainstay at running back as well.&nbsp;However, this year he is the premier RB.&nbsp;Olson is averaging around 15 carries a game.&nbsp;He had a huge game against Groton in which he had 23 rushes for 171 yards and three touchdowns!&nbsp;He also caught a pass for 17 yards in the 36-22 win over Groton. Zac is leading the Warriors in rushing this season. In hoops, Olson is a tough and reliable defender who locks up on-ball. He is quick on the hardwood and is a hustler/hard worker. Zac is also the PG, floor general, and leader who does the little things to help the team.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
