First, some quick thoughts as Southridge won 26-15 in a matchup that could decided the region down the line.
1) Trajan Bandy had a very productive night -- other than Kemore Gamble using his height advantage to post him up in the end zone for a touchdown. Bandy had a 55-yard pick-6 in the first quarter where he jumped the screen and took it all the way. He also blocked two extra point attempts. Just always around the football.
2) Kemore Gamble had 2 TDs for the Spartans -- one as the wildcat QB from a yard out and the other was the aforementioned fade pass TD on Bandy. You'll see that clip below. I'm starting to wonder if Miami should make another run at him because he could be physically dominant once he hits a college strength and conditioning program.
3) Billy Gibson had a phenomenal night for Southridge. I've described him as an in-the-box safety and it seemed like he was lined up right near the line of scrimmage on every single play last night. He loves to throw is body around in run support and his instincts are top notch. Manny Diaz will love his passion for the game.
4) 2018 WR Mark Pope is a must-get for Miami -- and that belief is validated every time I watch Pope play live. His punt return TD (below) helped break the game open against Columbus last night. Might be the #3 he's wearing, but he moves like Stacy Coley to me. Similar body types too.
5) C.J. Henderson played some more cornerback for the Explorers last night, as well as receiver and running back. It seems like Columbus is still trying to figure out how to use him and he also might not be completely 100% as he's been dealing with a nagging ankle issue. His touchdown reception from last night is below.
