The Long Beach Poly Jackrabbits defeated the Loyola Cubs 75-69 in front of a sold-out raucous crowd at Loyola High School Friday night to advance to the CIFSS 1AA semifinals.

Led by PAC-12 bound stars Jordan Bell and Roschon Prince, the Jackrabbits got out to a strong start and built an early lead. Hot shooting from the perimeter and some easy slam dunks on the interior gave Poly a 26-11 advantage after a quarter.

With National Signing Day finally here, Salesian standout defensive back Jermaine Kelly Jr. can add a late offer from USC to the impressive list of programs clamoring for his services. While Kelly is committed to Washington, he remains interested in Oregon, USC and Boise State and intends to evaluate his options and make a prudent decision.

"I'm blessed right now. All I can do is take it in, and listen to what they have to say, along with my family and just pray on it," said Kelly.

Kelly is looking forward to the next step in his football journey.

Now that the 2012 NCAA football regular season is complete, it’s time to honor the most outstanding players on the field this year. USC quarterback Matt Barkley entered 2012 the Heisman favorite but faltered early.

West Virginia quarterback Geno Smith grabbed the reigns as early season favorite with a great September. After Smith and West Virginia lost a few games, Kansas State quarterback Collin Klein became the presumed frontrunner before a disappointing loss to Baylor.

1. Collin Klein QB Kansas State

Kansas State quarterback Collin Klein is still in the lead for the Heisman after leading the Wildcats to a 23-10 road victory over TCU. Klein rushed for two more touchdowns bringing his season total to 19. Klein has thrown 12 touchdowns while completing 70 percent of his pass attempts.

At 10-0 and ranked first in the BCS standings, Optimus Klein has the Wildcats two wins from a berth in the national championship game. If the Wildcats win out, it will be difficult for voters to deny Klein the Heisman.

1. Collin Klein QB Kansas State

Kansas State Wildcats signal caller Collin Klein has the highest quarterback rating in the country. Optimus Klein is completing 71 percent of his passing attempts with 12 touchdowns while rushing for 17 more.

2. Kenjon Barner RB Oregon

Watch this Max Redfield Official Highlight Video Mix from CLA Sports. Redfield fueled the Mission Viejo victory over El Toro, and the Diablos claimed the South Coast League title in a 49-7 blowout.

Redfield indicated that he was a "soft commit" to the Trojans after the victory over El Toro, and made the decision the day after USC's loss to the Oregon Ducks that he is no longer committed to the Trojans for 2013.

Look for recruiting to heat up for Max Redfield from schools such as Oregon, Notre Dame, Washington and LSU.
