• Making an impact: BYU commit Hauoli Jamora (6-2 230 DE) has been a force in two Kahuku (Hawaii) playoff wins. In last week's 24-20 victory over Leilehua for the OAI title, Jamora had five sacks and recovered a blocked punt for a touchdown.

"I think the sacks (were more satisfying) because the touchdown was kind of given," Jamora told the Honolulu Advertiser. "The ball was just there."

Kahuku (11-0) gets a bye for the first round of the Division I state tournament and plays in one semifinal on Nov. 27 at Aloha Stadium.

• Rebound: Skyline (Wash.) came back from last week's disappointing loss to Bothell in the KingCo. championship game to shut out Kentridge 42-0 to open the playoffs. BYU commit Jake Heaps (6-2 190 QB) completed his first 10 passes and finished 20-of-24 for 298 yards and three touchdowns. Heaps, who was playing the final time on his home turf, also ran for a score.

"There's no excuses," Heaps told the Seattle Times. "This is about coming out and enjoying the moment. I think this team has the right mentality. We're happy with this one, but we've got a long way to go to get that state championship."

• That's all: The season came to an end for three BYU commits from Texas. Arlington Oakridge lost to Fort Worth Trinity Valley 40-35 in the first round of the playoffs.

Apo finished the year with 36 catches for 810 yards (22.5 yards per catch) and 10 touchdowns. Teammate Teu Kautai (6-1 190 DB/LB), also a BYU commit, ended the year with 371 yards rushing on 42 carries (8.8 yards per carry) and seven scores.

According to the Citrus CC Web site, Lewis committed to the University of Minnesota after a weekend visit. This season, Lewis has 33 tackles, one interception, six pass break-ups, a forced fumble and two blocked kicks.

• Big finish: An incredible high school football career came to a close last week as Boaz (Ala.) lost to Athens 28-21 in the first round of the state playoffs.
