Here are the top performances that caught our attention across the Southern, LA City and San Diego Sections. Tag us on Twitter or Instagram @sbliveca if we missed anyone.
Bryce Young, Mater Dei QB
The Alabama commit completed 19 of 33 passes for 256 yards and three touchdowns in Friday’s 38-24 road win over rival St. John Bosco. He ran for two scores as well. The victory clinched a Trinity League title for Mater Dei and most likely a top seed in the Division 1 Southern Section playoffs.
Watch Young's big plays from the game:
Easton Mascarenas, Mission Viejo LB
Mascarenas returned an interception 54 yards for a touchdown and scored again on a two-yard TD run in Mission Viejo's 38-6 win over San Clemente.
Watch Mascarenas' pick six:
Maguire Dobkins, Marina DB
Dobkins spearheaded a dominant defensive effort with an interception and four passes defended in Marina's 25-14 win over Segerstrom. The win helped Marina clinch at least a share of the Big 4 League title, their first league championship since 1986.
