Noteworthy: Waters did a little bit of everything in Friday’s season-finale 38-0 win over Cleveland to secure the West Valley League title and a spot in the City Section Open Division playoffs. The junior recorded rushing and receiving touchdown and also had an interception on defense.
Waters, who’s a sure-pick to be an All-City selection, has 37 catches for 722 yards and seven touchdowns this season to go with seven rushing touchdowns.
