Every so often, there is a student-athlete that comes out and 'wows' everybody that watches him. This time, that player is Su'a Cravens of the Vista Murrieta Broncos that has the entire high school football world buzzing. When you watch him play, it's easy to see why.

Most players to one thing and do it well. Cravens does multiple things and could be a 5-star player at any of those positions including wide receiver, running back, linebacker, safety or returning kicks. No matter where Cravens lines up on the field, he is a threat to make a huge impact on the play.

Nearly a week has passed since Gardena Serra defeated the Lompoc Braves to end California's longest active HS varsity football winning streak of 32 games, but Jackson and the Cavaliers have all but forgotten about their team's historic victory.

"Practice has definitely been a different focus. We have to forget about the win against Lompoc. If we lose this game I don't think people will remember that we ended their 32-game winning streak, but that we lost to Chaminade."

The Gardena Serra Cavaliers host the Santa Monica Vikings Friday night in a Southern Section quarterfinal matchup from the Western division. Both teams enter the contest on a roll, having dominated their first round opponents.

Santa Monica is led by standout receiver and USC commit Sebastian Larue, but the Vikings also possess an effective run game that should present a challenge to the stout Serra defense.
