Last week, I presented a group of young quarterbacks making an immediate impact at the varsity level. And there’s more rising up.

At Jurupa Hills in Fontana, sophomore Damion Wright completed 13 of 20 passes for 287 yards and also rushed for 64 yards in a 35-20 win over Rubidoux. He has passed for 1,218 yards and nine touchdowns with two interceptions.

At Woodland Hills Taft, sophomore Oresti Simi completed nine of 13 passes for 208 and four touchdowns in a 55-13 win over Granada Hills. He’s 2-1 as a starter.
