Most of Boise State's 2013 verbal commits were in action this weekend...here's how they fared.
Ryan Finley, QB, Paradise Valley High School (Phoenix, AZ)
Finley continues to turn heads this season and is showing week after week how much of a steal the Broncos are getting in the 6'4" signal-caller.

Finley passed for 355 yards and 3 TDs in the win and now has 2,790 yards and 29 TDs on the year through the air with just 8 INTs.

Rocky Mountain was upset for the 2nd straight week, this time by Centennial on Friday evening and the Grizzlies SIC title hopes took a major hit. The 6-2 squad will need to defeat Borah in this weekend's regular season finale and for Eagle to lose to keep hope alive.
That's it for this week...but hopefully we'll be adding to our list of recruits as the season wears on. If you have any stats, info, or otherwise to report, I would greatly appreciate it. Just send HERE.
