High school football in the CIF Southern Section has officially kicked off, and the opening week brought a bevy of unreal performances. But as the season continues, the games will only get bigger; the numbers will only get more impressive; and the wins will only mean more.

Here are the best performances from Week 1, which includes games covered Thursday through Saturday (Aug. 28-30).

High School On SI will highlight these athletes every week. We call them Stat Stuffers, but there are levels to this ... you'll see.

VIDEO GAME NUMBERS

These performances are like something out of a video game. Only a few athletes per week will provide games worthy of this section.
