Five-star USC quarterback commit Malachi Nelson and his four-star top target Makai Lemon led Los Alamitos High School to a 52-42 playoff win over Long Beach Poly last week.

That sets up a huge showdown between Los Alamitos and Mater Dei HS this Friday night in Santa Ana.

See how the Trojans' Los Al duo and other commits performed last week.
