Southern California Top Rushing Performances: Week 8

<strong>Jeremiah Claiborne, Citrus Valley, 2023</strong> Citrus Valley had a blowout win over Yucaipa who has a star running back of its own. The Blackhawks ran for 347 yards on just 26 attempts. Claiborne had 253 yards on 15 carries with three touchdowns in the win. He’s a big back at 6-foot-1 and over 180-pounds. The yardage was a career-high and the touchdowns match a career-high he set against Orange Vista earlier in the season. https://twitter.com/JeremiahClaibo4/status/1449599282877648901?s=20 <strong>Jonathan Guerrero, Rio Hondo Prep, 2022</strong> Guerrero is on the Southern Section leaderboard every week for his rushing performances and has been putting up huge numbers all season. In a win against Brentwood last week, the senior ran for 206 yards on 21 carries with four touchdowns. He’s rushed for 1089 yards this season with 18 touchdowns and an average of 12 yards per carry. https://twitter.com/James_Escarcega/status/1446690388081709065?s=20 <strong>Brandon Johnson, Highland, 2023</strong> It is not very often that an individual player accounts for 81 percent of a team’s offense in a winning effort. Especially when that player is not a quarterback. Johnson did just that for Highland in a 20-14 win over Palmdale. The junior ran for 244 yards on 29 carries with two touchdowns. He is averaging 9 yards per carry for the season but the 244 yards are nearly double his previous career-high. https://twitter.com/ballstar1515/status/1422020825234894856?s=20 <strong>Kyle Krause, Canyon, 2023</strong> Canyon has been known to have a high-powered passing offense this season but the running game also came up huge in an upset win over Brea Olinda. The junior running back ran for 190 yards and two touchdowns for Canyon in the team’s North Hills League opener. He had an impressive 95 yard run which helped his stats out, but he was able to milk clock at the end of the game to maintain Canyon’s lead. Canyon has a real chance to win the North Hills League. https://twitter.com/kyle02511792/status/1449438029949456385?s=20 <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="141906" first="Lucky" last="Sutton"], Cathedral Catholic, 2022</strong> Cathedral Catholic has a very capable quarterback but the running game has been carrying the Dons all season. Sutton is one of the best running backs in Southern California. He had a big game against St. Augustine last week, rushing for 272 yards on only 12 carries with four touchdowns. He has rushed for over 1,000 yards this season and has 17 touchdowns. Sutton has five offers and recently took an official visit to San Jose State. https://twitter.com/KUSIPPR/status/1449195904569778179?s=20 <hr /> <em><strong>Other top performers:</strong></em> <span style="font-weight: 400;">Eddie Allain, Norte Vista</span> <span style="font-weight: 400;">Daniel Anoh, Palisades</span> <span style="font-weight: 400;">[player_tooltip player_id="187309" first="Drew" last="Barrett"], Trabuco Hills</span> <span style="font-weight: 400;">[player_tooltip player_id="25318" first="Arlis" last="Boardingham"], Birmingham</span> <span style="font-weight: 400;">[player_tooltip player_id="115424" first="Kobe" last="Boykin"], Orange</span> <span style="font-weight: 400;">Anthony Carreon, Coachella Valley</span> <span style="font-weight: 400;">Kayden Collins, Canoga Park</span> <span style="font-weight: 400;">Kelvin Duran, Arleta</span> <span style="font-weight: 400;">Logan Everett, Village Christian</span> <span style="font-weight: 400;">Nick Ferlauto, Laguna Hills</span> <span style="font-weight: 400;">Frankie Franchina, Rancho Bernardo</span> <span style="font-weight: 400;">Angelo Godoy, La Salle</span> <span style="font-weight: 400;">Cameron Goods, Irvine</span> <span style="font-weight: 400;">Zach Gross, Rim of the World</span> <span style="font-weight: 400;">Bao Huynh, Los Amigos</span> <span style="font-weight: 400;">Payton Irving, Newport Harbor</span> <span style="font-weight: 400;">Ryan Knight, Fullerton</span> <span style="font-weight: 400;">Brandon Lopez, Patriot</span> <span style="font-weight: 400;">Edwin Lopez, Manual Arts</span> <span style="font-weight: 400;">Robert Lucero, San Gabriel</span> <span style="font-weight: 400;">[player_tooltip player_id="25233" first="Rayshon" last="Luke"], St. John Bosco</span> <span style="font-weight: 400;">Gabriel Magana, Valencia</span> <span style="font-weight: 400;">Art Martinez, Santiago</span> <span style="font-weight: 400;">Aidan Moss, Cathedral</span> <span style="font-weight: 400;">Jake Murphy, Buena</span> <span style="font-weight: 400;">Carson Olsen, El Toro</span> <span style="font-weight: 400;">Adrian Perez, Sultana</span> <span style="font-weight: 400;">Juan Ramos, Channel Islands</span> <span style="font-weight: 400;">Conner Rath, Poway</span> <span style="font-weight: 400;">Juan Reyes, Warner</span> <span style="font-weight: 400;">[player_tooltip player_id="147716" first="Cincere" last="Rhaney"], Serra</span> <span style="font-weight: 400;">[player_tooltip player_id="141957" first="Hunter" last="Roddy"], Chaparral</span> <span style="font-weight: 400;">Alijah Sadler, Segerstrom</span> <span style="font-weight: 400;">Jacob Terry, Valencia</span> <span style="font-weight: 400;">Nick Wilde, Sunny Hills</span> &nbsp;
