High school football player of the week: Versatile Joacin leads Caroline's resurgence
Sep 5, 2022
Gerard Johnson knows a little about what makes a good running back, having played the position himself at Old Dominion and Norfolk State universities. So even though Caroline’s first-year football coach had envisioned Vladimir Joacin at wide receiver during the preseason, he had a hunch that his sophomore might be carrying a substantial portion of the load. “I knew we would use him at running back once we got to 7-on-7s,” Johnson said. “It’s great to see him use his athleticism a little bit more. We have the ability to move him around. We had penciled him in at receiver, but we thought he would get the same amount of carries as our starting running back.” Joacin has made the most of his chances over the season’s first two weeks. After rushing for 112 yards and a touchdown in Caroline’s opening 14–13 loss at J.R. Tucker, he posted 198 yards and four scores last Friday as the Cavaliers routed George Wythe 61–0.
