Prep football player of the week: Rancho QB Watson

Rancho Cucamonga quarterback Greg Watson threw for 371 yards and five touchdowns in a 48-28 win over Temecula Valley on Friday. The reigning CIF-SS Central Division MVP completed 17 of 34 passes with no interceptions to keep the defending CIF champs undefeated. The senior more than doubled his previous season high in passing yardage.

Runner-up: Angel Santiago, Etiwanda, quarterback
Another Baseline League quarterback lit it up Friday night but Santiago's 410 total yards weren't enough as the Eagles fell 27-26 to defending Southeast Division champ Charter Oak. The senior completed 14-of-32 passes for 260 yards with a touchdown and two interceptions. He also rushed for 150 yards and a touchdown on 17 carries before Charter Oak's fourth-down 45-yard game-winning touchdown pass with 28 seconds to play.

2nd runner-up: Montigo Alford, Summit, running back
The junior set school records with 247 rushing yards and five total touchdowns in Summit's 42-20 win over Sultana on Friday. Alford carried just 14 times for four touchdowns and caught two passes for 28 yards and another TD.

Hey, what is up with Chino football? They used to be a power. Are they going to go 0-10? Come on.

Chino is REALLY young this year. They appear to be getting worse before they get better but in time I think Greg Setlich, who is only in his second year as the head coach there, will bring them around. It'll also help when Chino moves to the Mt. Baldy League next season. Instead of competing with the likes of Chino Hills, Ayala, Glendora and Damien, they'll be in a league with Chaffey, Colony, Don Lugo, Garey, Montclair and Ontario. As far as this year goes, their best chance to win a game will probably be Oct. 29 versus Diamond Bar.
