Later tonight, on September 22, 2023, The Oak Ridge War Eagles (1-2) will play against The New Caney Eagles (2-2). This battle between the Eagles should be an interesting one. Both team’s records are not the best, but in terms of skills and talent, they are comparably the same.
New Caney’s #2 Dravon Wilson is a fast and quick wide receiver, having 14 receptions for 310 receiving yards and 7 total touchdowns. Another strong weapon New Caney has is running #25 David Stewart. He is a stocky power back that can break through most tackles and burst through holes. David’s current stats are 54 carries, 220 rushing yards and 4 touchdowns.
Oak Ridge has three top 20 football athletes in the state. Two of them on defense both committed to The University of Georgia, linebacker #4 Justin Williams and defensive lineman #99 Joseph Jonah-Ajonye. Justin is the best linebacker; he is incredibly fast, a hard hitter, and will do everything to make the tackle. Joseph is a beast up front, quick off the ball, powerful, and just like his teammate Justin, he is determined to make the tackle until the whistle is blown. The 3rd highly-ranked athlete is UFC commit running back #5 Frankie Arthur. One thing I will say about him is that his LEGS CAN MOVE. Saying Frankie is fast is an understatement. The boy is pure speed and has a great upper body build, the ideal size for a running back.
It’s tough to predict who will come out on top tonight. It will be exciting to see which Eagle will soar higher.
