Southern California is known for its hotbed of high school football talent. The CIF Southern, San Diego and LA City Sections provide thousands of future college participants, hundreds of professional athletes, and dozens of future Olympians.
Each week, High School On SI will put the previous week's top football performers to a vote which allows fans, communities and supporters to choose which player is deserving of SoCal's Football Player of the Week honors.
To see a list of this past week's top performers, be sure to check out the latest edition of Stat Stuffers.
Here are the nominations based on performances in Week 9 (Oct. 22-24).
