FEATS OF THE WEEK: There were a whopping four
head-to-head matchups between teams ranked in last week’s Top 25. No. 3 Allen,
Texas, extended its winning streak to 29 games by holding off No. 20 Irmo,
S.C., Dutch Fork, 58-53. Senior quarterback Kyler Murray (a Texas A&M
recruit) sparked Allen with 564 combined passing and rushing yards and seven
touchdowns. ... Miami, Booker T. Washington picked up another huge win in
defense of the National Prep Poll title it won last season. The fourth-ranked
Tornadoes squeezed past No. 15 Miami, Central, 21-20, for their 29th straight
win. ... No. 5 Las Vegas, Bishop Gorman needed overtime to defeat No. 23 South
Jordan, Utah, Bingham, 23-20. It was the Gaels’ second win in as many weeks
against a current or former Top 25 team. ... No. 10 Ramsey, N.J., Don Bosco
jumped up 11 spots this week following a stunning 35-7 rout of regionally-ranked
Philadelphia, St. Joseph’s Prep. The game was called with less than three
minutes left in the second quarter due to lightning. ... Senior Jake Browning
of No. 18 Folsom, Calif., became his state’s all-time leader in career
touchdown passes (with 151). The Washington commit had six scoring strikes –
all in the first half – during a 49-13 blowout of Fresno, Calif., Clovis North.
Browning, who threw for a single-season record 75 touchdowns last year, is also
California’s all-time leader in passing yardage.
