For those coming to South Naperville Saturday (my daughter has a dance showcase at 7:30 at Metea Valley so I gotta bolt early….grrrrr) here are some NV kids to keep an eye on:
1 - Jaden McGee, RB - he’s been beat up lately but is now healthy and running the ball with a renewed vigor. He’s probably 6’, 215. North/South runner that loves contact.
3 - Carter Sessa, WR/CB - special player on both sides of the ball. Lock down corner (Fleurima/Bostic didn’t do a whole lot against him) who is very physical at the point of attack. He’s also a dangerous WR with great hands and breakaway speed.
5 - Grant Larkin, WR - Best WR on the team. Fantastic speed, very good hands, and his football smarts are off the charts. Lines up in the backfield occasionally and is a legit weapon as a RB.
13 - Mark Mennecke, QB - very heady kid who is dangerous with his feet and his arm. Sometimes gets a bit greedy with his arm but it works out well the vast majority of the time. Slippery runner that knows how to avoid contact. Football smarts off the charts.
10 - Andre Cobb, WR/CB/PR - long and lanky kid with decent speed. Athletic on both sides of the ball.
2 - Cole Dutkovich, LB - very active LB who has top level speed and comes in to tackle with bad intentions. Heady and smart.
34 - Palmer Domschke, S/RB/K - Jack of all trades kid. Scored NVs 2 OT TDs vs NapeCentral, is a big hitter as a safety who covers a lot of ground quickly. One of the best K in the state. Can hit from 40+ easily and kicks every KO into the end zone.
79(?) - Aiden Wiltshire, DL - DVC DL of the year. Highly disruptive DL what eats up space, allowing LB/S to clean up.
