The biggest reason Severna was able to create a score gap this wide was as a result of their defensive efforts. They were able to force the Northeast Eagle offense into multiple turnovers with their high energy, including a pick-six and a fumble recovery that placed the falcon offense on the 1-yard line for an easy score. Here are four players that caught my eye during this game!
Severna Park Falcons
Colin Shadowens, 5’11, 165, 2021
Colin did a great job of using his speed to impact the game from his running back position. During this game, he was able to show his ability to run in between the tackles and on the edge of the defense, creating explosive plays on both. He showed patience when running in between the tackles by allowing blocks to develop before exploding into the defense’s second level. When he bounced the run to the outside, he showed off his home run hitting speed, outrunning the opposing defenders who took terrible angles to put his team on the goal line. With his team on the goal line, Colin showed the strength to punch the ball, giving him a touchdown for the contest. He was able to show off a variety of skills against the Northeast defense, helping his team dominate in the run game.
Jordan Robinson, 6’1, 302, 2021
Jordan was a force in both A-gaps from his nose guard position all game long. He did a great job of creating knockback in the middle of the offensive forcing the runner off of his aiming point and disrupting the play’s timing. He also displayed the ability to disengage from blocks and quickly make a play on the ball carrier, denying Northeast any chance of making headway on interior runs. Jordan used his strength and physicality to force the center back into the backfield in the passing game, forcing the quarterback off of his spot and making him throw on the run. Jordan was even active on special teams, where his efforts helped turn a muffed snap by Northeast’s punter into a huge fumble recovery for his team. His play greatly limited Northeast’s ability to effectively run the ball. Because of that, they were able to easily bottle up their offense and get the sound victory!
Kevin Bredeck, 5’11, 160, 2023
Kevin did a good job of denying big plays in the passing game from his corner position. Kevin showed his ability to use both his footwork and hips to stay attached to opposing receivers. He used textbook technique on a deep ball attempt in the second half that put him in the perfect position to defend the pass, earning himself a pass breakup. He also showed his willingness to tackle during this game, flying down the field on the kickoff unit and stopping the returner before reaching the 25-yard line. Kevin’s play against the pass was one reason his unit could entirely shut down the Northeast offense and secure the victory.
Northeast Eagles
Myles Macon, 6’0, 210, 2021
Despite the loss, Myles’s efforts cannot go unnoticed. He showed up at both his running back and linebacker positions making plays for his team throughout the game, regardless of the score. At running back, his physical running style helped him gain yards that looked seemingly impossible by lowering his shoulder or delivering stiff arms to help him break tackles. When watching this game, you could see multiple occasions where Myles kept his legs churning through multiple tackle attempts, showing the will to gain those tough yards. Myles was also consistently downhill from his outside linebacker position. He was very slippery as a Blitzer, finding holes in the opposing offensive line by making blockers miss leading to multiple TFLs. During this game, Myles gave an excellent effort regardless of the score shown, leading by example and bringing energy that his team can hopefully bring into their next game.
