A wide receiver joins the mix this week as Elijah Mark's efforts for Desert Edge (Goodyear, Ariz.) cannot be ignored. He's on pace to crush all state records and he could set national records if his team goes deep in the playoffs.
Other newcomers this week include Royce Freeman of Imperial (Calif.), Patrick Mahomes of Whitehouse (Texas) and Desmon White of DeSoto (Texas).
