Braylon Henderson

First, what a game. Hebron's 40-35 win over PESH was a back and forth contest that saw big plays on both sides.The Main Event - I was there to really see Anthony Hines, Deiontae Watts, and Verone McKinley III.Hines finished with around 14 tackles and a key forced fumble. He was all over the field. Hebron made sure to run right at him and get a blocker or two in his face and not let him use his athleticism to track things down. Regardless of what was done Hines found his way to the ball most times. He did come out early in the 3rd quarter with leg cramps and never seemed to shake them once he came back. The thing that stood out to me about Watts was his motor and athleticism. He may not look like it, but Watts can run. He made plays downfield, in the backfield, and on each sideline. It was impressive watching him take an angle and chase down a skill player.As I mentioned in the High School football thread, McKinley is going to get knocked for his size, but he is a physical player. He likes getting in the face of receivers and he is pretty strong when it comes to shedding blocks. I thought tonight's performance was a little uneven, and Plano East was able to get some big plays, but he also had some nice moments. The recruiting newsI was hoping to catch up with Deiontae Watts after the game but it didn't happen. He will be in College Station this weekend. In fact, he left right after the game. The Nebraska commit will be in town on an official visit this weekend.I did catch up with Verone McKinley after the game. He doesn't have a lot of plans right now, and this weekend he is staying home. He does have plans to attend the Clemson-South Carolina game this year and I was told not to be too surprised if he ended up at the Texas A&M-LSU game on Thanksgiving. We'll have a video interview later.I already posted Hines stuff this morning HERE IT ISOthers who caught my eyeHebron 2018 OL Braeden Daniels set a physical tone early in the game when he drove Hines to the sidelines. Hines did not let that happen again, but it was an early message and it was delivered quickly. Look out for him. He's a name that is starting to get some buzz behind it.Two Sophomore WRs - it seemed like every time I turned around Trejan Bridges and Braylon Henderson were doing something. Bridges had 6 receptions including 3 TDs. The first one was nice but the second and third one were highlight reel type plays . He showed some great body control and concentration. Braylon Henderson had 7 receptions for 162 yards and he showed some blazing speed and quickness throughout the night. He also got some reps on defense. Tune suffers an injury - late in the fourth quarter Clayton Tune suffered an injury and he had to helped off the field. It's always tough to see a young man suffer like that and my prayers go out to him. For the game he completed 16 of 22 passes for 214 yards and 4 TDs and he rushed for 139 yards and a TD on 20 carries. PESH QB Miklo Smalls gave his team a huge boost on the ground. He came through with several clutch plays to spur on a comeback in the 2nd half and used his legs to open things up and pick up chunks of yardage. He finished with 23 carries for 129 yards and 2 TDs, and completed 15 of 31 passes for 310 yards and 3 TDs. One senior to watch is Kyle Burford. He's a 6-foot, 190-pound safety and he is under the radar. He made several big plays tonight, and he is one of the top players on the Hebron defense. He's having a big year, but he's under the radar because he has been focused on basketball before.
