Buena High junior tailback George Keiaho, despite being hampered by an ankle injury for much of the season, finished with a personal-high 1,760 yards and 22 touchdowns in 242 carries in his career. Keiaho, the first freshman in state history to rush for more than 1,000 yards, raised his three-year totals to 4,337 yards and 51 touchdowns in 630 carries (6.9-yard average).

Keiaho needs 1,662 yards to pass Crespi’s Russell White, who rushed for 5,998 yards from 1986-88. The Southern Section and state record is 7,257, set in 1989-91 by David Dotson of Valley View of Moreno Valley.

Keiaho began the season by rushing for a Ventura County-record 415 yards against Westlake.

Baptist, ‘70-72, 5,181) and Craig Johnson (Whittier Christian, ‘73-75, 5,213) and move into fourth place.

Harvard-Westlake’s Don Donester rushed for 277 yards in the final two games, after gaining 147 in the previous three. . . . St. Francis sophomore running back Chris McAlister, whom Coach Andy Boynton has touted as a future star, gained 92 yards in his varsity debut, then 98 the rest of the season.

Kilpatrick’s Jonathan Russaw gained 200 yards Saturday against Trona, giving him back-to-back 200-yard games and seven consecutive games of at least 100 yards.

Simi Valley senior Eric Bennett, who holds every significant school passing record, set a Ventura County single-game record with 423 yards against Camarillo.

Crespi quarterback Matt Walker hasn’t proved to be a flash in the pan despite his inexperience. Last week, the converted defensive lineman passed for 214 yards and three touchdowns and rushed for a score. He has thrown for 1,523 yards and is the lone quarterback in the region with at least 100 attempts who has a completion rate of better than 60%. Walker has completed 98 of 159 passes (61.6%).
