For the second consecutive week, the Mater Dei Monarchs came out swinging and seized control of the game from the outset en route to a dominating 56-7 victory over the St. Paul Swordsmen Thursday night at the Santa Ana Bowl.
For the second consecutive week, the Mater Dei Monarchs came out swinging and seized control of the game from the outset en route to a dominating 56-7 victory over the St. Paul Swordsmen Thursday night at the Santa Ana Bowl.
Mater Dei senior quarterback Chase Forrest had another outstanding performance and moved the Monarchs offense down the field consistently. After a short touchdown run by Malik McMorris gave Mater Dei a 7-0 lead, Forrest linked up with junior two-way athlete Ben Humphreys on a 51-yard touchdown strike. A touchdown run from senior Justin Allen extended the lead to 21-0.
The Mater Dei Monarchs took care of business Friday night at the Santa Ana Bowl with an impressive 44-13 victory over Upland. Mater Dei quarterback Chase Forrest set the tone early with a long completion that he capped off with a sweet 19-yard touchdown run to give the Monarchs a 7-0 lead.
Mater Dei extended the lead to 14-0 on an 8-yard touchdown run from bulldozing fullback Malik McMorris. Shifty running back Justin Allen followed that up with a 19-yard scamper for six.
The 2013 installment of The Opening kicked off Monday morning at Nike headquarters in Beaverton with the best high school football players in the country competing in SPARQ preliminary testing at Bo Jackson Field.
The athletes overcame hot and humid weather conditions and performed several tasks throughout the morning that included the 40-yard dash, power ball toss, 20-yard shuttle and the vertical jump.
The stars were out at the 2013 B2G Elite 16 7v7 Tournament at Fullerton College over the weekend. The 16 teams featured some of the best local student athletes. In the end, B2G 5-Star took home the crown.
B2G 5-Star was led under center by Hart quarterback Brady White. Quarterback guru Steve Clarkson has referred to White as the next Joe Namath.
White linked up with fellow Hart teammate and standout receiver Trent Irwin on several big plays throughout the tournament. The two clearly have a great chemistry and should wreak havoc on opposing defenses next season.
Watch a few of the top plays from the NFA 7on7 Passing Tournament at Newbury Park High School (CA).

Today's opening day of the NFA 7on7 passing tournament at Newbury Park High School was well worth the journey. Several of the country's top 7on7 teams were on display. The Gamebreakers, who are coached by former USC Trojan and NFL defensive lineman Chris Claiborne, in addition to the Snoop Dogg All-Stars, B2G Sports and Ground Zero were a few of the top teams who competed on Saturday.
The early games brought excitement to a crowd full of spectators that included parents, fans, players and media, but things got a bit more exciting once the stadium lights were turned on.
