This feature serves as our statewide collection of milestone achievements in California high school sports. More than lists and numbers, we can provide historical context since we’ve maintained state records in California for more than 40 years. The CIF Central Section players were off-the-charts last week with Jerod Bubba Smith of Fowler leading the group with 602 yards passing and eight TDs. Another QB in the section had 8 TD passes, another hit on 18 straight completions and another passed for 408 yards. And that doesn’t even include the NorCal Player of the Week and the RB from Caruthers with his third straight game of scoring six touchdowns.
