Michael Allain (Fullerton): Got his 210 yards on 16 carries, scoring twice, and left early as Fullerton rolled past Santa Ana Valley, 42-3, in a CIFSS Southwest Division first round victory.

Usua Amanam (Bellarmine, San Jose): Stanford-bound running back single-handedly torched Milpitas in the opening round of the CCS Open Division playoffs in a 34-7 victory at San Jose City College. Amanam rushed for 194 yards and four touchdowns, all in the first half. His performance was rewarded by the San Francisco Chronicle, which made him its Bay Area Metro Boys Athlete of the Week.

Brandon Blake (Linfield Christian, Temecula): Pulled in five Jason Morales passes for 156 yards and a 43-yard TD in 42-14 victory over Mammoth. Morales was 9 of 20 for 243 yards passing in the CIFSS Northeast Division playoffs.

Dionza Bradford (Serrano, Phelan): Was a one-man show for the Diamondbacks as he carried the ball 26 times for 247 yards and four TDs in a 34-13 win over La Quinta in the first round of the CIFSS Eastern Division playoffs.

Andy Bridge & Thomas Bernal (Paso Robles): Bridge rushed for 198 yards on 26 carries and a 10-yard TD to complement Bernal, who was 12 of 23 for 264 yards and a TD in the 26-18 win over Pacifica of Oxnard in the opening round of the CIFSS Northern Division playoffs.

Allan Bridgford (Mission Viejo): The Cal recruit completed 18 of 25 for 304 yards and two TDs in the Diablos' 37-7 win over Loyola of Los Angeles in a CIFSS Pac-Five playoff opener.

Mario Brown (Bishop O'Dowd, Oakland): The North Coast Section's leading rusher had another big day in a 35-14 home victory in the opening round of the NCS Division III playoffs. The speedy junior rushed for 221 yards and scored on a 80-yard touchdown on 15 carries. Brown now has 1,749 yards and 22 touchdowns going into this Saturday's quarterfinal match up at home against Marin Catholic of Kentfield.

Joel Bryant (Flintridge Prep, La Canada): In a losing effort, Bryant rushed for 249 yards and two touchdowns but it wasn't enough as Riverside Christian recorded a 37-21 first round win in the CIFSS Northeast Division playoffs.

Arthur Burns (Centennial, Corona): Made the most of his 17 carries, gaining 207 yards and scoring on runs of 46 and 26 to lead the Huskies to a 62-7 rout of Yucaipa in a CIFSS Inland Division playoff opener.

Brandon Buteyn (Paraclete, Lancaster): Bolted for 249 yards rushing and hit pay dirt three times on 15 carries in the Spirits' 42-14 CIFSS Mid-Valley first round playoff victory over San Marino. 

Jordan Canada (Duarte): Rushed for 217 yards and scored three touchdowns in Duarte's 38-20 victory over L.A. Baptist of North Hills in the first round of the CIFSS Mid-Valley Division playoffs.  

Deven Cannon (Johansen, Modesto): After his team gave up a touchdown on the opening kickoff, Cannon was like shot of lightning in a Sac-Joaquin Section Div. I playoff game against McNair of Stockton. He ended with 29 carries for 375 yards and five touchdowns as Johansen won, 47-13, and earned a spot in this week's section quarterfinals against 10-1 Merced.

Marquel Carter (Culver City): Passed for 248 yards and three touchdowns while rushing for 83 additional yards with another touchdown to lead the Centaurs to a 25-7 CIFSS Western Division playoff victory over Downey.  

Matt Ching (Salesian, Richmond): While former Pride running back Jahvid Best, now starring for Cal, was rushing for 201 yards and three touchdowns in the Big Game against Stanford, his replacement in the Salesian backfield was busy at the very same time, piling up even more yards in a 42-7 blow out of visiting Fort Bragg in the opening round of the NCS Division IV playoffs. Ching, a senior, ran for 268 yards and a touchdown on 26 carries and also had a six-yard TD reception.

Robert Cruz (Magnolia, Anaheim): It won't seem right not having Cruz among the leaders next week as he gained 305 yards in a season-ending loss to Tustin. Cruz gained his 228 on 45 carries, scoring twice on the ground in addition to grabbing a 77-yard TD pass.

Duke DeLancelotti (San Clemente): Did all they could do but it wasn't enough in a 24-16 CIFSS Pac-Five first round loss to Esperanza of Anaheim. DeLancelotti was 19 of 34 for 310 yards and zero interceptions passing.

Anthony Denham (Wilson, Los Angeles): Solid Div. I prospect for the Mules had a big game on both sides of the ball as Wilson survived a wild 52-50 game against Santee of Los Angeles in the first round of the L.A. City Section Invitational Division playoffs. He caught a touchdown pass from QB Jonathan Rojas, returned a kickoff 80 yards for a score and intercepted two passes, returning them for a total of 140 yards.

B.J. Denker (North Torrance): Accounted for five touchdowns but it wasn't enough as Morro Bay came away with a 48-37 first round win in the CIFSS Northern Division playoffs. Denker completed 25 of 45 passes for 319 yards and added 82 yards rushing and three touchdowns. His other two scores came on aerial strikes.  

Jonathan Diaz (Chaparral, Temecula): Scored five touchdowns, three in the first quarter, en route to gaining 187 yards on 20 carries to lead the Pumas past Vista del Lago, 48-10. Counting receptions, he amassed 233 yards in the CIFSS Inland Division first round win.

Danny Diekroeger (Menlo School, Atherton): Junior signal-caller, who was injured much of the season, came up with a big game but interceptions and the running game of Sacred Heart Prep (Atherton) ended the Knights' season in a 49-21 defeat in the opening round of the CCS Small School Division playoffs. The 6-foot-1, 175-pounder completed 24 of 41 passes for 348 yards with a TD but also had three passes picked. He hit Jerry Rice Jr. with eight passes for 109 yards in Rice Jr.'s final high school game.

Nico Dumont (Marin Catholic, Kentfield): One of the Bay Area's toughest two-way players did it again in a 49-8 rout at home of Analy (Sebastopol) in the opening round of the NCS Division III playoffs. The 6-foot, 210-pound running back/safety scored the first three times he touched the ball, including on the Wildcats' first play from scrimmage and a 69-yard screen pass from quarterback Nick Kristoff, who completed his first five passes. Dumont only played one snap into the third quarter, but still finished with 161 yards combined and the three scores. He also had 10 tackles and a sack that forced a fumble on Analy's opening drive.

Blake Dunn (Bullard, Fresno): Tied three school records by a kicking a 55-yard field goal, he also added another one from 45 yards out, against Bakersfield in a Central Section Division I playoff game that Bullard won, 35-14. Blake now has nine field goals for the season.  The "Long-Ranger has a chance to kick Bullard to the school's first Central Section championship as the Knights play Clovis West for the second time this season in the section semifinals. Blake had 11 kicking points against Edison recently as he made two field goals and five PATs to tie another school record according to Central Section historian Bob Barnett.

Robert Escamilla (Santiago, Garden Grove): Although he only scored once on 30 rushes, Escamilla gained 214 yards to help Santiago defeat Costa Mesa, 17-14, in the first round of the CIFSS Southern Division playoffs.

Juan Flores & Trayvon Ralph (A.B. Miller, Fontana): Flores was 13 of 18 for 223 yards passing and three TDs, in addition to rushing for 150 yards and another score. Ralph grabbed 10 passes for 183 yards and two TDs in the 48-21 win over Roosevelt of Corona in the first round of the CIFSS Inland Division playoffs.

Zack Graves (Whitney, Rocklin): There is no question the 11-0 Wildcats would not be where they are, No. 4 in the CalHiSports.com Division II north bowl rankings, and looking for a Sac-Joaquin Section Division IV title, without this 5-foot-9 senior halfback. In a 42-14 home victory over Foothill (Sacramento) in the opening round of the playoffs, he put up his usual gigantic numbers. The reported rushing and scoring leader in the section ran for 237 yards and three touchdowns on 20 carries, his fifth 200-yard rushing performance this season. Graves now has 2,216 yards on the ground with 33 touchdowns. He also has five touchdowns passing and one receiving with two two-point conversions. He'll get to add to those stats this Friday when Whitney hosts Sierra of Manteca in the semifinals.

Kyle Gluck (La Serna, Whittier): Rushed for 230 yards and scored on runs of nine, 58, 68, and 12 yards to lead his club past San Gabriel by a 42-14 margin in a CIFSS Southeast Division first round playoff game.

Leroy Green (California, San Ramon): Consistency has been the name of the game for Green all season and he's been consistent against top-notch competition. Although he's been in double digits rushing in every game this year, last week was the first time Green went over the 200-yard mark in a 41-0 whitewashing of host Washington of Fremont. The 5-foot-11, 210-pound bruising back finished with 202 yards and three touchdowns on 20 carries. Against teams such as Bellevue (Wash.), Monte Vista of Danville and De La Salle of Concord plus others in the tough East Bay Athletic League, Green now has 1,581 yards rushing and 20 touchdowns going into this Saturday's match up on the road in Pittsburg.

Sam Guite (Huntington Beach): Passed for 346 yards by completing 33 of 48 with a TD, but it wasn't enough in a 45-19 setback to El Dorado of Placentia in the CIFSS Southwest Division playoffs. 

Jose Guzman (Norwalk): Churned for 219 yards and two scores as Norwalk defeated Garden Grove, 38-6, in a CIFSS Southern Division first round game. His rushing touchdowns came from 17 and two yards out.

Geno Hall (Crenshaw, Los Angeles): Banning of Wilmington could probably match the Cougars in the trenches, but there is no substitute for speed and the Cougars definitely have that with players such as WR Noel Grigsby, RB DeAnthony Thomas and Hall. Hall ignited the Cougars in their 42-6 victory over Banning of Wilmington in the first round of the L.A. City Section Championship Division (4A) playoffs by returning kickoffs of 93 and 89 yards for touchdowns as Crenshaw posted a 42-6 victory over the Pilots. They will face Jordan of Los Angeles in a Wednesday night quarterfinal game.         

Logan Hess & Charles Boyett (Napa): This duo provided the firepower, and every bit of it was needed in a 45-42 home victory over Folsom in the opening round of the Sac-Joaquin Section Division I playoffs. Junior running back Hess finished the game with 209 yards and three touchdowns to give him 1,357 yards and 20 touchdowns so far this season. Boyett, who lines up as a quarterback/running back, had three touchdowns of his own and 147 yards rushing. The pair now takes their game into the second round when Laguna Creek of Elk Grove comes to town this Friday night.

Andre Holmes (Glendora): Rolled for 258 yards on 23 carries and three TDs, including a 68-yarder, in the 56-21 romp over West Valley of Hemet. Glendora had 494 total yards in the CIFSS Central Division playoffs.                   

Nick Isham & James De La Serna (Westlake, Westlake Village): The soph Isham was 25 of 38 for 365 yards and a TD while De La Serna grabbed 11 for 199 yards in a 36-35 upset of Oxnard in the first round of the CIFSS Northern Division playoffs.

Chris Jackson, Keenen Williams, Delvonte Hunt & Anthony Boyte (Laguna Creek, Elk Grove): Each of the four had a hand in a Sac-Joaquin Section Division I 48-25 Cardinals victory over Monterey Trail (Elk Grove) in a game played at Elk Grove High. Jackson accounted for six scores, completing seven of 14 passes for 136 yards and three touchdowns and rushing for 112 yards and three runs to pay dirt on 12 carries. Williams rushed for 167 yards and a touchdown. Hunt had two fumble recoveries and Boyte had two interceptions.

Cody Jackson, Kyle Gschwend & Danny Dealba (Serra, San Mateo): The 6-foot, 200-pound Jackson, who looks like one of the top two dual threat signal-callers in the Bay Area with De La Salle's Blake Wayne, scored four second half touchdowns to key the Padres to 45-14 victory in a game they trailed 14-3 at halftime. He finished with 164 yards passing and two touchdowns and 137 yards on the ground with two more scores. Linebacker Gschwend led the Padre defense with three sacks, two forced fumbles, a bat down and a forced interception. Dealba had a sack, a fumble recovery and a 47-yard interception return for touchdown.

Jemeryn Jenkins (Silverado, Victorville): Totaled 420 all-purpose yards and scored three times in a 41-35 win over Patriot of Riverside in a first round CIFSS Eastern Division playoff game. 

A.J. Johnson (Chino Hills): Got his 215 yards on 16 carries and a pair of TDs early in a 52-13 romp over San Gorgonio of San Bernardino in the first round of the CIFSS Central Division playoffs. 

Kahlil Keyes (Casa Grande, Petaluma): With some players above him out of the playoffs, this 5-foot-10, 195-pound junior will be moving up the rushing leaders list among North Coast Section's running backs. After a 229 yard two touchdown performance in a 38-12 NCS Division II home victory over Concord, Keyes now has 1,240 yards going into this Friday's second-round match up on the road at Clayton Valley in Concord. 

Ponce de Leon (La Mirada): He might have discovered the Fountain of Youth in a previous life, but he couldn't lift La Mirada to a win over Corona del Mar in the CIFSS Southern Division playoffs. He completed 31 of 42 passes for 357 yards, but the Orange County club pulled out the 26-15 victory.  

John Lister & Ian Shultis (Thousand Oaks): Lister carried the ball 39 times for a school-record 322 yards and five TDs (20, 1, 27, 1, 21) during a 49-28 victory over Santa Barbara in the CIFSS Northern Division playoffs. Lister accounted for all but four of Thousand Oaks' rushes while Shultis was 14 of 20 for 209 yards and a TD passing.

Bryson Lloyd (Santa Barbara): Etched himself in our state record book by grabbing 24 passes for 220 yards with a TD. The 24 is equal to No. 2 on the all-time state list with Steve Martinez of L.A. Wilson, who turned the trick against L.A. Marshall during the 1977 season. Lloyd's mark is just two off the reported state record set by Fullerton's David Sepulveda during a 1984 game against Buena Park.

Chris Lopez (Notre Dame, Riverside): Even though the Titans' season ended in a 55-27 loss to Hesperia, he completed 24 of 37 passes for 297 yards and a pair of TDs in a losing effort in the CIFSS Eastern Division playoffs.

Daniel Lopez (San Fernando): Carried the ball 26 times for 217 yards and two touchdowns to lead the Tigers to a 27-19 L.A. City first round playoff victory over Dorsey of Los Angeles. With San Fernando up by one-point (21-20), Lopez bolted for a 73-yard TD, has now rushed for 490 yards the past two games and he now has over 1,300 yards on the season. Highly regarded QB Rashaad Reynolds also had another solid game with seven caries for 83 yards with two touchdowns while also completing eight of 16 passes for an additional 125 yards. 

Bobby Mendoza (Dinuba): Passed for a season high of 252 yards, good for three touchdowns of 41, 27, 53 yards, against Porterville in a Central Section playoff game that Dinuba won, 34-27. That denied Porterville its first playoff win since 1914.

Mario Navarrete & Michael Torrejos (Sanger): In a 47-19 win over Sunnyside of Fresno in the Central Section Div. II playoffs, Torrejos had 104 yards and scored three touchdowns while teammate Mario Navarrete had 100 yards and one score. They also became the first tandem in school history to rush for 1,000 yards each in a single season.

Juvonte Owens (Castlemont, Oakland): This 5-foot-9, 180-pound junior running back/strong safety is one of the big reasons the Knights will be playing for the Oakland Section championship against Fremont of Oakland in Friday's Silver Bowl at Laney College. In last week's game Castlemont was leading 14-6 to begin the fourth quarter when Owens took over, scoring on runs of 46 and 54 yards to seal a 34-6 home victory over Oakland Tech. He finished with 155 yards on 15 carries with the two scores and also had 11 tackles on defense.

Chris Paul (Laguna Beach): Sophomore grabbed passes for 147 yards and four of them (from 40, 38, 5 and 9 yards out) went for six in a 39-14 win over Santa Ana in the CIFSS Southern Division playoffs. Oh, he also returned a fumble 29 yards for a score, giving him five on the night.

Karsen Reedy (Crescenta Valley, La Crescenta): Completed 18 of 35 passes for 303 yards and two touchdowns in a 22-21 CIFSS Southeast Division playoff victory over California of Whittier.

Omar Sanchez (Arleta): Scored four rushing touchdowns and caught a scoring pass to lead the L.A. City Section Invitational Division's top seed to a 42-7 first round victory over South East of South Gate.  

Gavin Santos (Hesperia): Rushed for 221 yards and five TDs, three in the first quarter, and had a sixth called back as Hesperia beat Notre Dame of Riverside 55-27 in the first round of the CIFSS Eastern Division playoffs.

Matt Satchwell (Casa Roble, Orangevale): One of the big reason the Rams are the CalHiSports.com No. 1 ranked Div. II team in Northern California, and in a position to be on the board for a D2 north bowl berth, is because of this 5-foot-9, 180-pound senior running back. Last week in a Sac-Joaquin Division III game record for points scoring, Satchwell could've nearly beaten Bethel single-handedly as Casa Roble rolled to a 64-22 victory. Satchwell rushed for 154 yards and four touchdowns and added a 66-yard kickoff return for a fifth score. Going into a second round game at home against Rodriguez of Fairfield, Satchwell has 1,699 yards rushing and 24 rushing touchdowns and 26 total.

Chance Simon (Norco): When the Cougars line up to attempt field goals from distance, they are taking a chance on chance, but when you blasted field goals of 47 and 52 yards it doesn't seem to be much of a gamble. His special teams play on a calm night helped Norco to a 19-9 upset victory over Rancho Verde of Moreno Valley in the CIFSS Inland Division playoffs.

Vaughn Smith (Menlo-Atherton, Atherton): This Bear won't be hibernating quite yet, as the senior running back led the rest of the pack to a 36-20 CCS Large School Division home victory over Homestead of Cupertino with 244 yards rushing and two touchdowns on 24 carries.

Trevor Smyth (Valencia): Sophomore linebacker recovered two fumbles, one that set up a short score and another that he returned 69 yards for a TD in the Vikings' 42-14 victory over Ventura in the CIFSS Northern Division playoffs.

Jerry Stone (Lakewood): His 222 yards were impressive but his big carry was a 16-yard TD in overtime that helped deliver a 35-34 victory over previous state Servite of Anaheim in the CIFSS Pac-5 Division playoffs.

Tra Sumler (Rosemead): Helped the Panthers advance in the CIFSS Mid-Valley Division playoffs with 285-yard, five rushing TD performance in a 45-14 victory over Valley Christian of Cerritos. 

Eric Tomko (Middletown): The 5-10, 190-pound fullback/linebacker carried 20 times for 186 yards and scored four touchdowns as his team improved to 10-1 with a 34-7 win over Clear Lake in the first round of the North Coast Section Div. IV playoffs. Tomko also was in on numerous tackles on defense.

Sam Tompkins (Palo Alto): After Paly forced a turnover on downs on the opening drive of the game, they handed the ball to senior tailback Tompkins and never looked back. Tompkins was a one-man wrecking crew as the visiting Vikings blitzed Leigh of San Jose, 48-0, in the opening round of the CCS Medium Schools Division playoffs. He finished with 226 yards on 13 carries and three touchdowns, including an 86-yard TD run to open the scoring.

John Uribe (Santa Barbara): Uribe went out with a flurry as he completed 47 of 68 passes for 468 yards and 4 TDs with just one interception in the 49-28 setback to Thousand Oaks in the CIFSS Northern Division playoffs. His reported completion total broke a state record held by L.A. City Section gunslingers Perry Klein and David Koral, both of whom attended Palisades. His pass attempt total tied the reported state record first set by Jason Sanborn from Palo Alto Gunn during a 32-20 victory over Palo Alto. It was the fourth consecutive week Uribe had thrown 50 or more passes.

Cody Vaz (St. Mary's, Stockton): He's heating up in the playoffs and that's bad news for the rest of the Sac-Joaquin Section. In a 56-14 win last week over Los Banos in the first round of the Division I bracket, Vaz completed 21 of 29 passes for 347 yards and two TDs. He also scored once himself on a short run. Vaz completed seven passes to junior Louis Lechich and six to junior Josh Harper. The Rams (9-2) play Lincoln of Stockton (10-1) in this week's Division I quarterfinals.

Russell Vonschoech (Pleasant Grove, Elk Grove): He might not have been the biggest guy on the field, but in a 35-12 victory over Fairfield in a Sac-Joaquin Division I opener at Monterey Trial of Elk Grove, the Eagle running back/defensive back played like a giant. His all-around work on the field has earned Vonschoech the Sacramento Bee Prep Player of the Week award, voted on by fans. According to Joe Davidson of the Bee, "Vonschoech, a gritty 5-foot-6, 155-pound senior who doesn't take any downs off, had 15 tackles (14 solo) from his defensive back spot, took inside handoffs at slot and rushed for 68 yards, ran pass routes and caught a 34-yard TD, hustled downfield on kickoffs and generally looked to be in fast forward with his long flowing hair snaking out of the back of his helmet like a jet stream. The only real breather he got was as a holder for point-after touchdowns. Vonschoech is proof that anyone can be an impact player if they work hard enough. "I just love to compete,'' he told Davidson. "I've done it since I was in the fifth grade, and being small, you have to work even harder. Next up for Vonschoech and the Eagles is a match up at home this Friday with Nevada Union of Grass Valley.

Ricky Vu (Los Amigos, Fountain Valley): It took all of Vu's 258 yards on 31 carries and four TDs for Los Amigos to beat Segerstrom, 40-37, in the first round of the CIFSS Southern Division playoffs.

Anthony Wilkerson (Tustin): Rolled up 268 yards while finding pay dirt four times as the Tillers showed no mercy en route to a 76-26 win over Magnolia of Anaheim in the CIFSS Southwest Division playoffs.

Jaron Wilson (Del Campo, Fair Oaks): Intercepted three passes and also completed a 35-yard touchdown pass in a Sac-Joaquin Section Division III opening round 24-18 upset win over Vanden on the road in Fairfield.

Robert Woods (Serra, Gardena): Continues to perform like a serious state junior player of the year as he hauled in nine receptions from QB Ted Landers for 232 yards and four touchdowns in a CIFSS Northwest Division first round playoff victory over Templeton. Although the Cavaliers didn't play their sharpest game, they still won by a 47-22 margin as Landers finished with 319 yards passing and five touchdowns. Woods also had an interception late in the game to seal the deal.    

Ryan Zirbel & Desi Rodriguez (Saugus): Dynamic duo who led Saugus to its first-ever Foothill League title was at it again in a 29-17 CIFSS Northern Division playoff victory over Righetti of Santa Maria. Zirbel rushed 17 times for 213 yards (his fourth 200-yard game of the season) and one TD and also caught TD passes of 58 and 28 yards from Rodriguez, who rushed for 153 yards and added 94 passing yards in the win.
