5-star recruit finished the night with five receptions for 189 yards and
two touchdowns in their 56-17 win over Mission Viejo (Calif.) to advance
to the CIF Southern Section Division I semifinals. He also had over 50
yards rushing and added a 14-yard touchdown run on the ground.
The
2019 Notre Dame commit balled out for Jesuit in its 42-0 win over
Granite Bay (Calif.) in the second round of the CIF Sac-Joaquin Section
Division II quarterfinals. He had 14 carries for 211 yards and three
touchdowns, with all three being from at least 42 yards out.
The
5-star defensive tackle led the Warriors to a dominant 51-0 win in the opening
round of the Louisiana Class 2A state playoffs. Sopsher and the defense
held Springfield (La.) to negative-22 yards of total offense.
The
2019 Ohio State commit makes his appearance on the list for the second
time this year. He was named the Player of the Week back in early
October after going off for nearly 300 yards receiving and five scores.
He didn't put up the same numbers this time around but still balled
out with two long touchdown receptions (57 and 76) in their 52-0 win
over Lutheran South (St. Louis). It was Cardinal Ritter's first district
championship win since 2015 and the Lions are three wins away from winning
the school's first state title since 2008.
