Southern California Top Passing Performances: Week 10

<strong>Will Bingham, Laguna Beach, 2022</strong> I have said for months now that Bingham is the best quarterback in Orange County that nobody has watched. Laguna Beach flew under the radar at 9-1 this season and Bingham is among the top passers in the county. He threw for 396 yards and six touchdowns in a rout of Godinez last week. Bingham and the Breakers are the top seed in the Division 9 playoffs. https://twitter.com/SOCoPrepSports/status/1451594713732042763?s=20 <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="39430" first="Darius" last="Cowens"], Pacifica, 2023</strong> Cowens was a really hot recruit as a freshman but the hype died down a bit since then. But that doesn’t mean that he has not played well. He had a massive game against Kennedy, throwing for 525 yards and seven touchdowns in a 50-20 win. He is a real dual threat quarterback who seems to be getting healthy at the right time. Pacifica will host Mira Costa in the first round of the playoffs Thursday. https://twitter.com/CoachLopez2/status/1455726292712656900?s=20 <strong>Niko Mavridis, San Marino, 2022</strong> Mavridis and San Marino did not make the playoffs but ended their season on an exciting note. The Titans lost in a shootout to La Cañada but used Mavridis arm to come back and make the game close. The senior completed 78 percent of his passes for 383 yards and three touchdowns in a 46-43 loss. https://twitter.com/nikomavridis/status/1451061179141349387?s=20 <strong>Aleksandr Wojcik, Mar Vista, 2023</strong> Mar Vista had a crucial overtime win against San Ysidro to help its case for making the playoffs down in San Diego. Wojcik was crucial in the win, throwing for 417 yards and three touchdowns in the 26-23 win. The junior has thrown for 2,592 yards and 24 touchdowns compared to just four interceptions this season. https://twitter.com/johnnywo/status/1455749566653878273?s=20 <strong>Xavier Washington, Rancho Cucamonga, 2022</strong> Washington is the top passer in the Southern Section and has been for most of the year. He led Rancho Cucamonga to an overtime win over Damien of La Verne last week. Washington threw for 357 yards and four touchdowns in the 45-44 win. He has 3,205 yards and 31 touchdowns on the season with just seven interceptions. Washington and Rancho Cucamonga will travel to play Saugus in the playoffs this week. https://twitter.com/RanchoHSCougars/status/1454307894438989829?s=20 <hr /> <em><strong>Other top performers:</strong></em> <span style="font-weight: 400;">Dieter Barr, St. Pius X-St. Matthias</span> <span style="font-weight: 400;">[player_tooltip player_id="147708" first="Elijah" last="Brown"], Mater Dei</span> <span style="font-weight: 400;">Russell Chavez, Vista</span> <span style="font-weight: 400;">[player_tooltip player_id="25367" first="Pierce" last="Clarkson"], St. John Bosco</span> <span style="font-weight: 400;">Christopher Cooper, Beaumont</span> <span style="font-weight: 400;">Isaiah Diaz, Franklin</span> <span style="font-weight: 400;">Isaiah Dunn, St. Paul</span> <span style="font-weight: 400;">Cayden Gent, Mt.
