Southern California Top Receiving Performances: Round Two

<strong>Nicolas Kelly, Long Beach Poly, 2022</strong> Long Beach Poly is one of the hottest teams in Southern California. The Jackrabbits are loaded with top receivers and it was Kelly’s turn to have his best game of the season in a playoff win over Upland last week. The senior caught 11 passes for 182 yards and two touchdowns. Both were a season-high for Kelly and he and the Jackrabbits will play Cypress in the Division 4 semifinals this week. https://twitter.com/johnwdavis/status/1459401773618110469?s=20 https://twitter.com/johnwdavis/status/1459397008033079296?s=20 <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="147761" first="Josiah" last="Lamarque"], Newport Harbor, 2024</strong> Newport Harbor went on the road and got a dominant victory over Santa Barbara in the second round of the Division 6 playoffs. Lamarque had a big game with five receptions for 115 yards and four touchdowns. He also intercepted a pass he returned for a touchdown. Lamarque is one of the most promising sophomore athletes in Orange County. https://twitter.com/TeranRodriguez1/status/1459399116140658696?s=20 <strong>Xavier Smith, Palisades, 2022</strong> Palisades is undefeated and rolling in the LA City Section playoffs. The Dolphins had a huge passing night in a blowout win over South Gate. Smith had the biggest receiving night in Southern California, hauling in seven passes for 213 yards and three touchdowns. It was his first game over 100 yards this season and he doubled that. https://twitter.com/palihsfootball/status/1460428848139366409?s=20 <strong>Will Stahl, St. Margaret’s 2022</strong> St. Margaret’s is a team at a small school full of talented two-sport athletes. Stahl is one of those great athletes and he just signed a lacrosse scholarship to Holy Cross last week. He had 115 yards receiving with three touchdowns in a win against San Dimas. Stahl also threw a 30-yard touchdown pass for the Tartans. https://twitter.com/SouthOCsports/status/1459400089063940096?s=20 <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="25224" first="CJ" last="Williams"], Mater Dei, 2022</strong> Williams is one of the top two receivers in the state and there is a very strong argument that he is number one. He can burn any high school corner in man coverage and he can find holes in zone defenses. He is the best deep threat in the state which is why he is a Notre Dame commit. Williams had six catches for 158 yards and three touchdowns including a nice 77-yard deep ball. https://twitter.com/prepzone/status/1459366035908345863?s=20 <hr /> <em><strong>Other top performers:</strong></em> <span style="font-weight: 400;">Arjae Allen, Anaheim</span> Blake Armstrong, El Modena <span style="font-weight: 400;">[player_tooltip player_id="25278" first="Cooper" last="Barkate"], Mater Dei</span> <span style="font-weight: 400;">Tyson Bordeaux, Long Beach Poly</span> <span style="font-weight: 400;">Chris Brown, Mira Mesa</span> <span style="font-weight: 400;">Colin Chase, St. John Bosco</span> <span style="font-weight: 400;">Cole Crotty, Mira Costa</span> <span style="font-weight: 400;">Drew Faulkner, Western</span> <span style="font-weight: 400;">Keller Feltman, Mission Bay</span> [player_tooltip player_id="25248" first="Mekhi" last="Fox"], Pasadena <span style="font-weight: 400;">Darren Gandy, Silverado</span> <span style="font-weight: 400;">Adam Harper, Northwood</span> <span style="font-weight: 400;">[player_tooltip player_id="187239" first="Tyler" last="Henry"], St. Anthony</span> <span style="font-weight: 400;">Max Lane, Corona del Mar</span> <span style="font-weight: 400;">[player_tooltip player_id="25398" first="Makai" last="Lemon"], Los Alamitos</span> <span style="font-weight: 400;">Bilal Musaddiq, Dominguez</span> Ty Olsen, Del Norte <span style="font-weight: 400;">[player_tooltip player_id="25237" first="Ephesians" last="Prysock"], Alemany</span> <span style="font-weight: 400;">Lyndon Ravare, Silverado</span> <span style="font-weight: 400;">[player_tooltip player_id="141895" first="Jayden" last="Virgin"], Mt.
