Boys Prep of the Week: Naples' Hyde comes through on final play
By NICK KRUEGER (Contact)
12:01 a.m., Tuesday, September 23, 2008
By now, it?s no secret that even with multiple weapons at Bill Kramer?s disposal, the Naples High offense is steadied by one player: Carlos Hyde.
Ohio State figured that out, and after this season the running back will join the Buckeyes backfield. Last week against Cape Coral, the Seahawks knew it too, but they couldn?t do anything about it.
Hyde rumbled for 167 yards, and though he didn?t log a touchdown in the dramatic 36-35 win, he punched in the game-winning two-point conversion with no time left.
While any number of running backs in the area would have loved to finish a game with that stat line, for all of Hyde?s talent, his night was exemplary of the role he plays with the team: Chew up yards, let his teammates help him, and give credit where credit is due.
?The goals I have for this season are to rush for over 1,000 yards and win another state championship,? Hyde said. ?But I can?t do it without my offensive line; they do a great job blocking for me.?
His trust in his offensive front, and the combination of a backfield that also has running back Greg Pratt and quarterback Juno Prudhomm certainly helps. Despite so many playmakers in one backfield, Hyde has no problems keeping his production high, something his head coach attributes to his high football IQ.

Prep football: Naples grinds out road win at Immokalee

Hyde finished with a game-high 107 yards on 10 carries. The senior, who is committed to Ohio State, had 102 yards before halftime, as Naples ran for 223 yards in the first half. The Eagles finished with 315 yards rushing.
?The running backs were just coming out powerful,? Hyde said. ?Coach (Bill Kramer) was telling us, ?pound ?em, pound ?em, pound ?em.? One of the runs is going to bust if you keep coming and coming. That?s what we did.?

Aside from the fact that this kid has a cool name, he and Jaamal Berry should form one serious tandem in the back field. Imagine a triple option out of the shotgun with Berry on the left and Hyde on the right with Pryor in the middle? Opposing defenses are cringing at the thought.

I-Formation option may work better, with what ScriptOhio posted. Hyde is the first option with handoff at fullback, and Berry is the pitch guy with Pryor. It would be incredible awesome.

Kudos to him for being a naturally gifted athlete though.

Prep football: Nuredini kicks Naples past Sharks in second OT

Quote:
Facing a fourth-and-goal from the 1-yard line in the first overtime, Naples decided to go for the touchdown. Gulf Coast had yet to go on offense, and stopping the Eagles would have meant a short field goal would have won the game.
Instead, Naples handed off to their 6-foot-1, 230-pound truck of a fullback Carlos Hyde, and Hyde rumbled in for the touchdown.
