Two weeks back he dominated West Linn with 8 receptions for 188 yards and 3 TD’s, with returning 1st team all league QB Jones looking phenomenal (18-27-377-4 TDs).

Dom Montiel Dom Montiel 6'3" | 185 lbs | QB Marshfield | 2022 State OR QB 22’ Marshfield- Probably the best QB in Oregon at any level for 2022. Montiel has been torching everyone. He passed for another 6 TDs and 368 yards with 0 INTS, in the 57-0 win over Stayton a couple weeks ago. His first D1 offer followed this from Portland St. He could be a game changing QB for the Vikings.

Ryles Buckley Ryles Buckley 6'2" | 180 lbs | DB Hood River | 2022 State OR ATH 22’ Hood River- Buckley is an outstanding overall athlete, tying for the state lead in INT’s as a Junior last season. He accounted for 3 Tds on the night (rush, receiving, INT) in the 54-6 win over The Dalles.
Luke McNabb QB 22’ Scappooos- The 6-3 McNabb has quietly had an outstanding year, accouting for 6 TDs (3 rushing, 3 passing) in the 47-13 win over McKay. The coaches son has been getting it done all year.
