It is not unusual for me to hype Reeds Spring football. As a matter of fact, I admit that it is a pretty common occurrence. But I normally stick to the High School Wolves. More than that, its just about always the Varsity guys.
But, this is the exception. Reeds Spring has a young Wolf that is getting a chance to perform on a national stage. Caden Wiest is a eighth grader to be. If you saw Reeds Spring Middle School play last year you know which guy he is. He was the seventh grader that looked to be at least a foot taller than any one else on the team. He can run, he can block, and he can disrupt.
Currently he is in Canton Ohio for this weeks Hall of Fame ceremonies. He has been invited to take part in the Pro Football Hall of Fame All-American Game. This is put on by the Hall of Fame Academy. The event claims to bring together the “World’s Top 60 Rising 8th Graders”. It will be an east-west game format with Wiest playing for the East.
While it will be AT LEAST another year before we will get a chance to see Wiest competing with the high school Wolves, you can always take a Tuesday Night this fall and go cheer on the 8th grade Wolves. I am sure he and his teammates would love to see you there.
The 6-3 , 220 pound defensive end will wear number 30. The game is scheduled to take place on Friday afternoon at 1:30. If you would like to watch. It is rumored that the game will be streamed on CBSsports.com
