Mater Dei Holds on 24-21 vs Bishop Amat

Mater Dei held on to win 24-21 after an early battle turned into a game of turnovers. Several players stood out for Mater Dei including: RB Brandon LaMarche (3 TD), senior WR Andre Collins, junior QB Matthew McDonald, offensive linemen Frank Martin (USC commit) and newcomer Tommy Brown (2018, 6'7 315).

Junior DL Chris Green was a force along with defensive backs Jalen Cole, Quentin Lake and Roman Kafentzis.

Joe Mixon exploded last week for 6 total touchdowns against Castro Valley. The senior running back catapulted himself into the national recruiting conversation earlier this year and hasn't looked back since. After excellent performances at the U.S. Army All-American junior combine in San Antonio, TX, along with the spring 7on7 circuit and The Opening in Oregon, Mixon is arguably the top back in the country.

The St. Francis Golden Knights took care of business Thursday night with an impressive 49-20 home victory over the La Mirada Matadores. The star of the game was senior running back Joe Mudie who scored four touchdowns.

St. Francis jumped out to an early 6-0 lead with a short touchdown run by Mudie. La Mirada responded with a touchdown drive of their own that featured several nice catches from talented wide receiver Dallis Todd. Matadores junior quarterback Kevin Dillman linked up with Todd on a sweet pitch and catch to give La Mirada a 7-6 lead late in the first quarter.
