Observations from Friday's Mallard Creek-Sun Valley game

Note: the game can be seen at ibnsports.com/hs

  • Mallard Creek offensive lineman DJ Humphries looks every bit 6-6 280 pounds in person. Walking out for the coin toss with his teammates, he towered over everyone. During the game, the All American committed to Florida often flattened two and sometimes three defenders on plays


  • Mallard Creek has a very tall and athletic receiving corp, maybe the best I've seen since 2002-2004 Independence. All of them can turn a five yard out into a 90 yard marathon


  • Mallard Creek smartly kicked away from Sun Valley star Jody Fuller who still caught a 19 yard touchdown and scored on a 19 yard reverse. He looks like a high school linebacker with 4.4 speed. Steve Spurrier is getting (another) good one at South Carolina


  • There's a female fan at Sun Valley with the loudest voice I've ever heard. Like a human megaphone. And she never gets hoarse. I will hear "Lets go Valley!!" in my sleep for two weeks

Humphries is not the only big athletic kid on that team. Who is #95 and #73? They are both huge and play very well......

Watch out for #52 Sun Valley. Hes a beast. One of the smallest on the field but handles 6 footers like nobody's business.

Maybe you shouldn't be going to football games if you can't handle hearing a proud mother cheering for her child...
