His son Connor is a dual threat kid, throwing 3 TDs to 6-4 Jr. WR Foley has a stock that is rising quickly. Mt View came in ranked #9 to start the year in my 5A poll, with two impressive back-to-back wins thus far.

Rocco McClave Rocco McClave 6'2" | 180 lbs | QB Crescent Valley | 2024 State OR QB 24′ Crescent Valley- One of the craziest stat lines from the week came via one of the lesser known QB’s in McClave.

VC is now 2-0 with some momentum.

Gavin White Gavin White 6'0" | 175 lbs | RB Ashland | 2024 State OR RB 24′ Ashland- The Grizzlies have a talented senior class and should be in the mix at the 4A level.
