     FEATS OF THE WEEK: Junior Jake Browning of No. 22 Folsom, Calif., set his state’s record for touchdown passes in a season. Browning (uncommitted) threw for six scores in a 49-16 playoff rout of Elk Grove, Calif., Franklin. That put his season total to 68, three better than the old mark. ... Kenton, Ohio, advanced to the Division IV state semifinals, thanks to another record-setting performance from its passing game. In a 46-43 win against Bryan, Ohio, senior Grant Sherman (uncommitted) had a state-record 56 completions for 486 yards and five touchdowns. Senior receiver Justin Sawmiller had 24 receptions, pushing his season total to a state-record 147. Sawmiller (uncommitted) is already the national record-holder for career receptions (434) and is likely to break the state record for receiving yards in a season when Kenton plays Clarksville, Ohio, Clinton-Massie on Saturday. ... Senior quarterback John Wolford had 772 combined passing and rushing yards with 10 touchdowns, but it wasn’t enough to keep Jacksonville, Fla., Bishop Kenny from falling to Green Cove Springs, Fla., Clay in a wild 74-73 Class 5A playoff game. Wolford (East Carolina) finished his career with 13,403 total yards and 162 touchdowns, breaking state records previously held by 2007 Heisman Trophy winner Tim Tebow. ... Iowa City, Iowa, Regina set a state record with its 56^th consecutive win. The Regals whipped Fort Dodge, Iowa, St. Edmond, 35-0, in the Class 1A finals for their fourth state crown in a row. Regina’s unbeaten streak is currently the longest in the nation among 11-man teams. However, Ithaca, Mich., could match it with a win Friday in the Division 6 state championship.
