Football: BYU recruit Heaps has another huge game
We found this interesting take on Jake Heaps, the junior quarterback from Skyline High in Issaquah, Wash.
Heaps is widely considered one of the best high school quarterbacks in the Class of 2010, and he's considering BYU.
He completed 11 of 13 passes for 322 yards and also ran for a score in his team's 38-0 win on Friday.
Here's what Bob Condotta, a beat writer who covers University of Washington football for the Seattle Times, wrote in his blog about Heaps:

I went to the Skyline-Issaquah game last night and wasn't expecting to see a 38-0 blowout. But it was a fun atmosphere anyway, and a great chance to see some of the top prospects in the state. As the story indicates, Jake Heaps had a phenomenal game, and anyone who saw it would agree that he is one of the best QB prospects in the nation. His 87-yard TD pass in the second quarter was one of the best plays I can imagine a high school QB making as he stepped away from pressure near his own end zone, then fired a pass maybe 50 yards in the air down the sideline, hitting his receiver right in stride. Talking to some people there, the general feeling is that it's either UW or BYU for Heaps, depending obviously on the coaching situation at Washington. Coaches from BYU, Oregon State and Washington State were all there and there may have been some from other schools but I just didn't see them.
