Talent Soars In Air Force Championship- Neville Jones

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>I was trying to think up a clever title after the game yet shortly after, my Twitter become locked so I immediately went into character and lost focus because I was tripping because they, X, was, so after gathering my thought before I head back to Houston, here's my Top 5 from the championship game</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1275346"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-687e452201140"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Jefferson was exciting yet even more exciting for me was her mom telling me I had her on my Tip Sheet 4 years ago s<strong><em><a href="https://girlzprepreport.blogspot.com/search?q=amoni+Jefferson">ee evaluation here</a></em></strong> so when I hashtag #ThereIsNoMe I really mean it because as usual, I was pot on. Her "on the ball" pressure was smothering at times and she also played the passing lane.
