The game between Orange Lutheran and Cathedral Catholic was a shootout and the Lancers were facing one of the top running backs in the state. Orange Lutheran had a spectacular, well-balanced offensive attack and its running back held up his end of the bargain in the shootout. Jackson rushed for 229 yards and three touchdowns on just 14 carries. Jackson is a Dartmouth commit.

Jax Leatherwood Jax Leatherwood 6'6" | 225 lbs | QB Scripps Ranch | 2023 State CA , Scripps Ranch, 2023
Before the season, Leatherwood was the highly-touted junior replacing the previous successful quarterback, Luke Durkin. He had a massive game against Valencia last weekend completing 18 of 26 passes for 438 yards and five touchdowns in a 45-38 win. He is 6-foot-6 and had nearly 50 touchdowns with only three interceptions this season. In my opinion, he is the second best college prospect at quarterback in the San Diego region. He is a real Power 5 talent.
2Q – 7:42

Jeremiah McClure Jeremiah McClure 6'2" | 195 lbs | WR Mater Dei Catholic | 2023 State CA , Mater Dei Catholic, 2023
Mater Dei Catholic had one of its biggest wins in recent history against Helix in the Regional Championships last weekend. McClure made the most important play in the game with an 80-yard touchdown catch at the beginning of the third quarter which ended up being the game-winning play. He caught six passes for 124 yards and a touchdown. McClure is part of a very talented junior class at Mater Dei Catholic. He has five offers including Fresno State.

Maalik Murphy Maalik Murphy 6'5" | 225 lbs | QB Serra - Gardena | 2022 State CA , Serra, 2022
Murphy always looked like an elite quarterback at camps and showcases but I wanted to see him show it on the field this season. He did exactly that and led his team to a big win against Long Beach Poly in the Regional Championships. He threw for 280 yards and three touchdowns in the back-and-forth classic game against a very talented Poly team. Murphy had Texas coach Steve Sarkisian in his home this week and it appears that his commitment to Texas is solid and he will sign next week.

Lucky Sutton Lucky Sutton 6'1" | 205 lbs | RB Cathedral Catholic | 2022 State CA , Cathedral Catholic, 2022
Sutton was the player of the week in Southern California with his incredible performance against Orange Lutheran. The senior ran for 435 yards and had 7 total touchdowns in the 71-62 win. In my opinion, Sutton is a top 5 senior running back in the state and this game helped put him on the map and get him some recognition. He has offers but no Power 5 ones yet and I expect that to change after his performance in such a high-profile game.

Working on Class of 2022 running back rankings. No Power 5 offers yet but I don't see how anyone can not have Lucky Sutton in their top 5 in the state. I have him No. 3 personally. @Donsfootball @Daygofootball @PrepRedzoneCA
