There are few things more fun to watch than a well executed trick play. If that was ever in question, it was answered on Friday during Studio City (Calif.) Harvard-Westlake High's 43-14 victory against Sylmar (Calif.) High.

The play you see above isn't quite a hook a ladder formation, and it's quite a mad scramble reminiscent of "The Play", but it's awfully inventive nonetheless. In what appeared to be a traditional pass play, Harvard-Westlake quarterback Chad Kanoff dropped back and fired a drive over the middle, which was caught by a downfield receiver.

That reception should have been good for a nice, solid gain on its own, but H-W concocted a way to make it much more. Instead of sliding down for a simple tackle, the initial Wolverine receiver pitched the ball backward as if the team had drawn up a hook and ladder.

The first lateral worked, springing the second ball carrier down the right toward the end zone. Then, as he was wrapped up, he found another Wolverine ready and waiting for his toss.

The lateral sailed smoothly into the final H-W players hands, and he was off to the races for six more points.

In an interview with the Los Angeles Times, H-W head football coach Scot Ruggles said that the touchdown marked the first time his team had successfully pulled off the trick play. Even if the game wasn't a nailbiter, that had to be a satisfying footnote for a coach who prides himself on in-game execution.

On Saturday, Oregon recruit Thomas Tyner made national headlines when he set a state record after his astonishing 10-rushing-touchdown and 600-plus-yard birthday performance. While his achievements were incredible enough on their own, there was something even more remarkable about Friday night in Oregon: Tyner wasn't even the only running back to score 10 touchdowns in a single game that evening.

As noted by the Yamhill Valley News Register and a handful of other publications, Perrydale (Ore.) High running back Josh Hiebenthal also scored 10 touchdowns on Friday night, leading his Pirates squad to a one-sided 82-42 victory against Triangle Lake (Ore.) High.

On any other weekend, Hiebenthal's accomplishment would have been national news. Yet on Friday, because of the stratospheric numbers being put up nearby, Hiebenthal's evening was more of a footnote: He ran for 339 yards on 25 carries including his 10 scoring touches.

Admittedly, that 339-yard total is a far cry from Tyner's remarkable 634-yard output, but it's still one heck of a game. Yet Hiebenthal's numbers were also dismissed to a degree because Perrydale competes in 8-man football as opposed to the more traditional variety.

All of those points are valid, yet they do little to diminish just how astounding the Perrydale star's night was. By game's end, Hiebenthal had scored on more than one out of every three carries. Of more concern for Perrydale's future foes may be the larger trend of which Hiebenthal's 10-TD night was a part: Just a week earlier, the running back scored five times on just five carries, notching 92 yards in the process.

Of all the impressive moves South Gate (Calif.) High quarterback Eddie Flores has made this year, his best one may have come away from the field.

Elusive South Gate quarterback Eddie Flores — Los Angeles Times screen grab

As reported by Eric Sondheimer of the Los Angeles Times, Flores had an impressive game in leading South Gate to its fourth win of the still-undefeated season, yet he was even more impressive in eluding a pair of teenage females he wanted to avoid after his strong evening.

Just after Sondheiemer finished the interview you see here just outside the South Gate locker room, Flores apparently noticed that two girls were waiting for him, one of whom he was desperately trying to avoid. In fact, he was so eager to avoid any interaction that, rather than walk out via conventional measures, Flores made a complete 180 and scaled the chain link fence to the field behind him, escaping without being noticed.

All of which goes to show just how tough Flores is to catch. Of course, Southern California defensive coordinators knew that already, with performances like the one he produced on Friday making his talent abundantly clear. In the Rams' victory against Millikan (Calif.) High, Flores passed for 358 yards and five touchdowns, keying South Gate's 57-46 win.

It's every parent's worst nightmare: A trusted youth sports coach is arrested for sexually assaulting a young child, and investigations discover that the victim had been brutally raped for more than a year.

As first reported by Dallas-Fort Worth television network WFAA, and quickly followed up by NBC DFW and other stations, Garland resident Bernardo Mondragon-Guzman was arrested on charges of repeated sexual assault of a child. WFAA reported that the 41-year-old GSA coach was found to have raped a 10-year-old member of the Garland Soccer Association multiple times.

Mondragon-Guzman is being held without bail because he is reportedly in the U.S. illegally. He could be deported to Mexico depending on the outcome of an eventual trial against him on the aforementioned sexual assault charges.

Disturbingly, investigators fear that the unnamed young victim may not have been the only child abused by Mondragon-Guzman, with outreach ongoing to find others that may have been attacked by the reported illegal immigrant.

"We have received some more phone calls, and investigators are telling me that now that there's several of those phone calls, that's going to warrant more investigation," Garland police spokesman Officer Joe Harn told WFAA. "So as we suspected, we may well have some more victims."

Both WFAA and NBC DFW reported disturbing details discovered by investigators in the case. According to Garland police, Mondragon-Guzman stored baby wipes in the glove compartment of his car and hid naked photos under the rear floor boards of his vehicle. Guzman also appears to have practically filmed his own conviction, with one cell phone video depicting a rape of the child in question obtained by police.

It took five years, but the West Shamokin (Penn.) High football program finally fought its way back into the win column on Friday.

West Shamokin ended a 45-game losing streak on Friday — Facebook

As reported by the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, West Shamokin rolled past Eastern Conference rival Pittsburgh (Penn.) Riverview, 25-6. The win snapped an incredible 45-game losing streak for West Shamokin, a losing stretch that stepped back to September of 2007.

To put that duration in perspective, there was still another full year of the Bush administration to run the last time West Shamokin won.

Finally, that streak is over, and star running back Andrew Wingard is a big part of the reason why. Wingard finished with 142 yards and a touchdown in the memorable victory for the Wolves.

On Friday, two sons of former NFL stars had significant nights in a key faceoff in Oklahoma. Incredibly, one of them even did so with a broken arm … and he's a quarterback.

As noted by the Oklahoman out of Oklahoma City, Valor Christian, the Colorado powerhouse which surprisingly dropped its first two games of the season, scored 35 unanswered points en route to a 42-0 victory against Littleton (Colo.) Heritage High. Leading that charge was Valor Christian quarterback and Oklahoma State commit Luke Del Rio, the son of former Jaguars coach and USC legend Jack Del Rio.

The younger Del Rio finished with 173 yards and two touchdown passes in the victory and impressed with his toughness; Del Rio played with a broken arm, albeit his non-passing arm.

One of Del Rio's scoring passes landed in the hands of the son of a former Broncos star, Christian McCaffrey, the son of Ed McCaffrey.

The game was Del Rio's first since suffering the broken limb, raising the unique possibility that he could finish the 2012 season undefeated when playing with only one good arm and winless when competing with full health.

By this point in the season there have been plenty of impressive kickoff and punt returns. None have been better than the preposterous effort you see above, courtesy of Hampton (Va.) Maury High star Davion Taylor, who simply refused to stop running or juking until he reached the end zone.

In the end, Taylor's effort traversed a total of 99 yards, few of them easy coming. He eluded 11 tacklers -- a full team's worth -- and eventually trotted into the end zone. Making matters even more impressive, Taylor's touchdown return was essential for the Commodores, the squad eventually ekeing out a 27-25 victory against a talented Hampton (Va.) Woodside High.

Taylor also had three receptions for 106 yards and two additional touchdowns in the Maury victory.

Incredibly, thus far Taylor seems to have flown completely below the major college recruiting radar. He is not listed in the database of any national recruiting website. He has a series of highlights on Hudl, but little other evidence that he is anything more than a run-of-the-mill receiver.

What's the best way to celebrate an 18th birthday? If you're Beaverton (Ore.) Aloha High senior running back Thomas Tyner, you run for a state single-game record 643 yards and an absolutely astounding 10 touchdowns in a single game … then watch as your team's defense scrambles to hold on to an early season win.

As reported by the Oregonian, Tyner's stats remain unofficial, but so far his night looks like one of the best ever produced by a running back anywhere. Considering the fact that many running backs would be happy to amass 600 yards in a season, getting them all in one night is something else. Tyner's record night surpassed the previous state mark of 508 yards -- set in 2011 by West Albany (Ore.) High back Jake LaCoste -- by more than 100 yards.

You can see the full highlights from Tyner's historic night above.

Incredibly, Aloha needed almost every single one of Tyner's big runs. The Warriors improved to 3-0 with an 84-63 victory, but the win wasn't secure until Aloha pulled in two fourth-quarter interceptions as opposing Lakeridge (Ore.) High continued to fight back behind a strong performance from young quarterback Eric Dungey.

As good as Dungey may have been, Tyner was that much better. He nearly matched Lakeridge's point total himself. The Oregonian's Mike Richman was covering the game and providing tweet-by-tweet updates, leading to the following surreal dispatch at one point in the second quarter:

Aloha. Déjà Vu. Tyner scores again on one play. 65yd TD. Last 3plays for Aloha have been 3 60+ yard Tyner TDs. Lkrdge41-35 1:49, 2Q #opreps

By halftime, Tyner already had 362 yards and five touchdowns … on just 19 carries. As it turns out, those halftime numbers only served notice that Tyner was in the midst of a special night, particularly as Lakeridge kept scoring, pushing Aloha to respond.

The full statistical breakdown from the Oregon commit's performance is even more staggering. By game's end he amassed his 643 yards on 38 carries, finishing with an average of 16.9 yards per carry. Even more incredibly, 26.3 percent of his runs ended in the end zone. That's more than one out of every four times he was handed the ball. Only one of his touchdowns came from 10 yards or fewer, with seven coming from 40 or more yards.

Tyner also now sits third all time in single-game rushing nationally, behind Netcong (N.J.) High legend John Giannantonio's 754 yards in 1950 and a 661-yard performance by Matewan (W.V.) High back Paul McCoy in 2006.
