<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>CAPISTRANO VALLEY</strong></h2>
<!-- /wp:heading -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Capo Valley had a solid day going 3-3 and suffering narrow losses to Damien, Mater Dei and Murrieta Valley. Both quarterbacks [player_tooltip player_id='595827' first='Tommy' last='Acosta'] and [player_tooltip player_id='1197373' first='Talon' last='Spencer'] looked good in moments. Acosta threw a beautiful deep ball touchdown and led multiple scoring drives against Murrieta Valley which I watched closely. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>Cire Jefferson</strong> was great at corner against Murrieta Valley and when he is on, he can be a shutdown corner in man coverage. His timing while deflecting deep balls was terrific. The other top performers for Capo Valley were no surprise, two-way guys <strong>Kaden Hunter</strong>, <strong>Reily Walker</strong> and <strong>Hudson Campbell.</strong> Coach <strong>Sean Curtis</strong> was high on sophomore tight end <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1279271' first='Colin' last='Hooper']</strong> who is 6-foot-3 and 185 pounds already.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>NEWPORT HARBOR</strong></h2>
<!-- /wp:heading -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Newport was one of the surprise teams on the day and played very well. <strong>Bode Stefano</strong> took most the reps at quarterback that I saw and he was very impressive. <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1742014' first='Jake' last='Meer']</strong> is still competing for the starting job and he looked solid in the few reps I saw him take. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>Cade Fegel</strong> looked like the top receiver he is and <strong>Sammy Stremick</strong> will be a top two-way player this year at receivr and safety. <strong>Hudson Perez</strong> got good reviews from coach <strong>Matt Burns</strong>.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>CHAPARRAL</strong></h2>
<!-- /wp:heading -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Chaparral really impressed me on defense in the game I watched closely against Servite. <strong>Corbin Frutos</strong> had a big interception against Servite and was making plays all day. <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1611225' first='Dane' last='Weber']</strong> looked good in moments at quarterback and Chaparral has a group of talented sophomore skill players in <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1611263' first='Eli' last='Woodard']</strong>, <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1611298' first='Chase' last='Bonta']</strong> and <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1382571' first='Tycen' last='Johnson']</strong>. Johnson was a standout at the National Preps Showcase a month ago.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>TUSTIN</strong></h2>
<!-- /wp:heading -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Tustin played Mater Dei close in a game I watched closely. [player_tooltip player_id='282761' first='Michael' last='Tollefson'] has the ability to make all the throws and it showed on Saturday. This is a big year for him to show he can put it all together when the pads come on. Orange Lutheran transfer <strong>Jackson Perez</strong> drew praise from coach <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1203247' first='Anthony' last=''] Lopez</strong> and so did his brother <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='409270' first='Jayden' last='Perez']</strong>. Jayden had 59 tackles for Orange Lutheran last season. <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1197319' first='Rufai' last='Azeez']</strong> also got compliments from Coach Lopez and [player_tooltip player_id='1197214' first='Taven' last='Epps'] is the first guy you notice when you watch Tustin.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>SERVITE</strong></h2>
<!-- /wp:heading -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Servite had a rough day on the scorecards but some players looked good when I watched. [player_tooltip player_id='406664' first='Leo' last='Hannan'] has a Division 1 frame and can make tough throws. <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1183031' first='Luke' last='Sorensen']</strong> is a big tight end and <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1288773' first='Devan' last='Parker']</strong> was always open. <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1044406' first='Jordan' last='Robinson']</strong> is a freshman to watch for Servite and he got a lot of reps at corner.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>OAKS CHRISTIAN</strong></h2>
<!-- /wp:heading -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>The usual star players played well for Oaks Christian. [player_tooltip player_id='212217' first='Deshonne' last='Redeaux'] was making plays out of the backfield and [player_tooltip player_id='406657' first='Stevie' last='Amar'] was one of the most physically impressive players of the entire event. [player_tooltip player_id='283607' first='Davon' last='Benjamin'] was all over the field on defense. <strong>Axel Eason</strong> got most the reps at quarterback that I saw but [player_tooltip player_id='958785' first='Treyvone' last='Towns Jr.'] looked good when I saw him too. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Coach <strong>Charles Collins</strong> praised <strong>Matt Watts </strong>for his performance Saturday as well as sophomore cornerback <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1611347' first='Bryan' last='Narcisse']</strong>.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>WESTERN</strong></h2>
<!-- /wp:heading -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Western had the fewest players of any team I saw at the event and had a lot of players going two ways. <strong>JJ Amezcua</strong> has size and was scoring most of the touchdowns for Western. He's an intriguing two-way player with no offers yet but some interest from schools. Senior <strong>Noah Giddens</strong> had a big day on both sides of the ball for the Pioneers as well.</p>
