Southern California Top Receiving Performances: Week 7

<strong>Maddox Bernardino, Diamond Bar, 2023</strong> Diamond Bar has one of the most lethal offenses in Southern California. The Brahmas can get it done through the air and on the ground. Bernardino had a huge game in a win against Wilson of Hacienda Heights last week, catching 14 passes for 253 yards and three touchdowns. The receptions and yardage are career-highs for Bernardino and his three touchdowns match a previous career-high. He is also a baseball star at Diamond Bar. https://twitter.com/DBHS_Principal/status/1444871629692014598?s=20 <strong>Hector Ceballos, Franklin, 2023</strong> The numbers that Ceballos put up in Franklin’s 28-21 win over Eagle Rock are almost comical. The junior caught an insane 27 passes for 217 yards and three touchdowns. The 27 receptions are likely a school-record and may be a City Section record. Ceballos has three games with over 200 yards receiving and has eclipsed the 1,000 yard passing mark already. https://twitter.com/fhspantherftbll/status/1447318759962648583?s=20 <strong>Matthew Moore, Carlsbad, 2022</strong> Carlsbad is one of the top three teams in San Diego and the offense revolves around its passing game. The Lancers have a few athletic receivers and they take turns having big games for the undefeated team. This week was Moore’s turn to shine. The senior caught 10 passes for 136 yards and three touchdowns in a win over San Marcos. The receptions, yards and touchdowns were all season-highs for Moore. https://twitter.com/SBLiveCA/status/1444156467813052419?s=20 <strong>Frank Valentino, Cathedral City, 2022</strong> Cathedral City moves the ball well through the air but it may have had its best game of the season in a win against Banning. The Lions had 405 yards passing and Valentino was the star of the game. He caught eight passes for 251 yards and five touchdowns. He has had over 200 yards in his last two games and 9 touchdowns over that span. He leads the nation in receiving touchdowns. https://twitter.com/icyhotfrank/status/1447984719476322307?s=20 <strong>Cooper Wallace, Simi Valley, 2022</strong> Simi Valley lost quarterback [player_tooltip player_id="25325" first="Travis" last="Throckmorton"] and hasn’t really skipped a beat on offense. The Pioneers are now led by freshman quarterback <strong>Steele Pizzella</strong> and scored 42 points in a win over Royal last week. Wallace had the most glaring stat line, catching eight passes for 328 yards and three touchdowns for Simi Valley. His 328 yards were the second most in Ventura County history. https://twitter.com/vcspreps/status/1448035518512439296?s=20 <hr /> <em><strong>Other top performers:</strong></em> <span style="font-weight: 400;">Nathan Acevedo, Lincoln</span> <span style="font-weight: 400;">Michael Alatorre, Western</span> <span style="font-weight: 400;">[player_tooltip player_id="25360" first="Tiger" last="Bachmeier"], Murrieta Valley</span> <span style="font-weight: 400;">[player_tooltip player_id="100646" first="Elijah" last="Barclay"], San Juan Hills</span> <span style="font-weight: 400;">Hunter Benton, Kennedy</span> <span style="font-weight: 400;">[player_tooltip player_id="141958" first="Logan" last="Booher"], St. John Bosco</span> <span style="font-weight: 400;">Tyson Bordeaux, Long Beach Poly</span> <span style="font-weight: 400;">Alonzo Brown, Eisenhower</span> <span style="font-weight: 400;">Mathew Carpintero, Hueneme</span> <span style="font-weight: 400;">Cole Cassara, Villa Park</span> <span style="font-weight: 400;">Owen Chambers, Dana Hills</span> <span style="font-weight: 400;">[player_tooltip player_id="25281" first="Quincy" last="Craig"], Mater Dei</span> <span style="font-weight: 400;">Dominick Flores, Tustin</span> <span style="font-weight: 400;">Wyatt Gardner, Torrey Pines</span> <span style="font-weight: 400;">Corbin Hale, Orange</span> <span style="font-weight: 400;">[player_tooltip player_id="145263" first="Kashton" last="Henjum"], Newport Harbor</span> <span style="font-weight: 400;">Jeremiah Ingram, Pacifica</span> [player_tooltip player_id="25398" first="Makai" last="Lemon"], Los Alamitos <span style="font-weight: 400;">Jaylen Lynch, Orange Lutheran</span> <span style="font-weight: 400;">[player_tooltip player_id="25408" first="Mikey" last="Matthews"], Mission Viejo</span> <span style="font-weight: 400;">[player_tooltip player_id="145133" first="Jeremiah" last="McClure"], Mater Dei Catholic</span> <span style="font-weight: 400;">Logan Moon, Apple Valley</span> <span style="font-weight: 400;">Gabriel Nunez, Beaumont</span> <span style="font-weight: 400;">Tec Nunez, Baldwin Park</span> <span style="font-weight: 400;">Ivan Payawal, Verdugo Hills</span> <span style="font-weight: 400;">[player_tooltip player_id="141899" first="Braden" last="Pegan"], San Juan Hills</span> <span style="font-weight: 400;">Hideo Ray, Huntington Beach</span> <span style="font-weight: 400;">Jagg Richer, Burbank</span> <span style="font-weight: 400;">Xavier Sandoval, Colton</span> <span style="font-weight: 400;">Owen Taylor, Capistrano Valley</span> <span style="font-weight: 400;">Makai Todd, St. Margaret’s</span> <span style="font-weight: 400;">Grant Wayne, Vista Murrieta</span> <span style="font-weight: 400;">[player_tooltip player_id="25301" first="Juan" last="Wilson"], Warren</span> &nbsp;
