He is fully recovered from a leg injury he suffered late in the regular season and was dominant against Sierra Canyon in the Regional Championship.
Highlights
Greer is another top running back in the state and is the best player in Fresno State’s 2023 recruiting class. He has big play ability but can also grind out a tough five yards on any carry. Greer has over 1,100 yards and 15 touchdowns despite missing some time with an injury.
Joseph McCray

McCray has put up video game like numbers for Grant Union this season. The senior has thrown for nearly 3,800 yards with 48 touchdowns. The game between Grant Union and San Jacinto should be full of points.
Bosco has multiple big play receivers that can score at any moment, but Moore is coming off a huge game against Mater Dei in the Division 1 championship. He is great at catching underneath routes and making plays after the catch. Moore has very good speed and a good connection with his quarterback Pierce Clarkson Pierce Clarkson 6’1″ | 195 lbs | QB St. John Bosco | 2023 State CA .
Adam Harper

Harper is a grind it out running back who can carry tacklers with him for additional yardage. He also is a swiss-army knife on defense who can play all over the field.
Serra wants to run the ball but Smith makes them multi-dimensional on offense. Bosco is too big and physical for Serra to run the ball against so Smith will have to have a big game for Serra to pull off a potential upset.
Buckey recently flipped from USC to UCLA and has led Liberty to its second consecutive State Championship game. He’s a mismatch for a lot of offensive linemen at their level and he made things difficult for the Yorba Linda offense in the Regional Championship.
Serra will try to run the ball against St. John Bosco and it will be up to the Bosco linebackers to force them to pass. Bryant leads the team in tackles and showed his sideline-to-sideline speed against Mater Dei. The trio of Bryant, Kyngstonn Viliamu-Asa Kyngstonn Viliamu-Asa 6’3″ | 225 lbs | LB St. John Bosco | 2024 State CA and Khmori House Khmori House 6’2″ | 205 lbs | LB St. John Bosco | 2024 State CA will be tough for Serra to beat.
