Gathering Attention

Ivan Vaughn (RB) Cabell Midland

Cason Payne (QB) Point Pleasant

Daylin Goad (QB) Mingo Central

Graeson Malashevich (ATH) Spring Valley

Ty Wilcoxon (RB) Huntington

 

 

#5 Malakai Brown

Brown continues to impress.  The prolific receiver once again broke 150 yards and caught two scores.  His tallies are among the top of any class.  He now faces some tough receiving competition with Evan Parow who is beating him in every category.  Having another receiver up there will hurt his Kennedy candidacy, but he is, without a doubt, having a fabulous year thus year.

 

 

#4 Hunter America

With 800 yards and 15 touchdowns in his first three games, America came back after a bye week with 300+ yards and five scores.  To have a shot in Single A, the numbers must be insane.  Right now, America is on pace for 2750+ yards and 50 touchdowns!  With numbers like that, it would be hard to keep him out of the Kennedy conversation.

 

 

#3 Will Hackney

Coming off a tough loss where Hackney played his tail off, he led the Indians to their fourth win behind five touchdowns.  He now has 26 on the season through five games (21 pass, 5 rush).  If he continues with these numbers as well as winning, his name will have to be included as we go forth.  A prolific while also efficient quarterback.

 

 

#2 Kerry Martin Jr.

Martin Jr. had a good performance against an inspired Cabell Midland squad.  Using his legs more than his arm in this contest.  He has done everything his coach has needed to have them undefeated.  His stats are not on the same pace as last year but his unselfish play has the Cougars where they are now.  Other quarterbacks’ numbers might trump him for the Kennedy moving forward, however.  Nothing could get him back at #1 then a showout game against Spring Valley this week.

 

#1 Connor Neal

What else can you ask out of Neal after dominating Bridgeport?  Dominating a talented AAA secondary that halted #5 Wheeling Park’s pass game a week prior.  He made it look easy with three more scores and continues to be a very efficient scorer.  The Polar Bears are impressive.  Neal is foundational to the #1 AA in the land and arguably a top five team regardless of class.

Gathering Attention

Logan Holgorsen (QB) University

Hunter America (RB) Doddridge County

Jacob Hartman (QB) Petersburg

 

#5 Malakai Brown (WR)

Brown had another solid performance in an odd but still heartbreaking loss over South Hagerstown.  He pulled over 100 yards receiving yet again and two touchdowns.  His consistency at wide receiver is unmatched and once he gets one or two breakout games with even more silly numbers his chances at the Kennedy will surely increase.

 

#4 Will Hackney (QB)

Hackney had a good week one but his week two was pure bonkers.  In a multi-score win over Logan, the Sissonville quarterback launched the pigskin for 397 yards and six touchdowns and also ran it 97 yards and another score.  The most prolific passing performance and total yard performance thus far into the season.  Must have been working on tire flips.

 

#3 Cason Payne (QB)

Payne had a phenomenal outing against Single A South Harrison.  He probably would’ve accumulated more stats if it didn’t turn into a blowout so early.  During the time he was in though he finished with over 210 total yards and four scores (all through the air).  We expect many more performances like this is as the Black Knights look to remain unbeaten and rarely tested.

 

#2 Kerry Martin Jr. (QB)

Martin Jr. is still playing his tail off.  In a whooping of South Charleston, Martin Jr. scored a handful of times and totaled over 200 yards of offense.  He was crisp through the air and made plays with his feet when needed.  As of now, very few quarterbacks are being as prolific while efficient against good teams as Martin Jr.  He will get many more shots to regain #1.

 

#1 Ivan Vaughn (RB)

Vaughn had a career night Friday against Parkersburg.  In this game he tallied over three hundred yards and several touchdowns.  This was against no slouch defense either.  The Big Reds had no answer what so ever as he ran through and around the entire team.  This was after an impressive 192 yard performance where he hardly played a half.  Vaughn will have an opportunity at a message game this week against #2 Spring Valley.

The Valley Region is the most dense area regarding talent. From Huntington to Charleston with a trickle towards Parkersburg, this is the most historically excellent region in the state. It hosts the majority of the hardest WV conference: the MSAC and guaranteed title contenders in all three classes every year.

FOOTBALL IS ALMOST HERE. Each week we will be diving into one of our four regions. We’ve sliced it up a little different to equal the spread of talent out. We have the Coalfields region, MD (Mason-Dixon) Panhandle region, North West region, and Valley region. We will spend a week on each in that order. Every week will include Monday: Single A, Tuesday: Double A, Wednesday: Triple A, Thursday: Preseason All-Region Team, Friday: Top 10 in the Region. Let’s get it!
