Helix (San Diego, CA) Highlanders continued their late season heroics on Friday night, defeating Scripps Ranch 17-6.  Coming into the game, the spotlight was supposed to be on Scripps Ranch RB Brennan Clay, but the Oklahoma recruit had to fight and give it his all just to amass 73 yards on 23 carries, far below his usual productivity.  Clay has been hobbled by a bad ankle since injuring it in a game in late October against Lincoln High School.  619 Sports Jeff Creps spoke with Clay for a post game interview where he said he would not use the injury as an excuse, but he did admit that it affected the way he played.

In the words of Dick Enberg..."Oh My".  Mission Bay (San Diego) Senior QB ( and USC bound) Dillon Baxter did everything to get his Bucs to the Division IV finals.  Mission Bay (12-0) stood on top by a 58-42 score over Santa Fe Christian, earning the Bucs a trip to Southwestern College next Saturday night to battle defending champ Valley Center for the D-IV title.  Baxter threw for 271 yards (13/16 passing) and two touchdowns, ran 32 times for 177 yards, three TDs and a pair of two-point conversions, and even caught a 27-yard touchdown pass.  For good measure, Baxter added an interception on defense.  619 Sports Craig Elsten caught up with Baxter following the game for a post game interview where Baxter spoke with about moving on in the CIF, and his hopes for next season as a Trojan.

Eastlake High School (San Diego) had to pull off a miraculous come from behind win to keep its undefeated status alive, as they beat Chula Vista High School 28-14 on Friday night.  The 2nd half come back was lead by the Eastlake's stand out running back, and a UCLA recruit, Tony Jefferson.  He finished the game with 28 carries for 176 yards and three TDs.  "Even with only 33 yards in the first half, Eastlake head coach John McFadden never lost faith in his stellar senior running back."  619 Sports reporter Kyle Englehart caught up with Jefferson following the game for a post game interview, where he talked about his great night on the field.

Although he was used as somewhat of a decoy, La Costa Canyon High School Wide Receiver Kenny Stills impressed last night in a huge win over Escondido High School 44-24.  Stills caught two passes for 75 yards and a Touchdown, and even though the heavily recruited and highly talented Wide Receiver had an "off night", he still made it about the team, and not about him. 619 Sports caught up with Stills for a post game interview where he talked about the game, his season, what his plans are for next year, and which schools he is considering.
