First-year wide receiver David Eldridge can stretch opposing defenses and make plays on special teams

On October 26, 2014, The Kettle Run High School football team made big play after big play in a dominating win over Brentsville. Out of all of the offensive highlights however, one special teams play stood out among the rest. Following yet another failed Brentsville drive, the Tigers booted a deep punt towards Kettle Run return man and UVa commit David Eldrige.

The Cougars did not secure their blocks, and it looked as though Kettle Run would have poor starting field position.

Eldridge had other ideas.

The explosive senior fielded the punt in deep traffic and weaved in and out of tacklers for an 84-yard touchdown.
