Football: BYU recruit Mathews leads team to Oregon state title
BYU's football recruits from Timpview High won't be the only ones who will be able to say they helped lead their team to a state championship.

Mitch Mathews, a receiver from Southridge High in Beaverton, Ore., recently helped his team win the 6A (largest division) state title in Oregon. Mathews committed to BYU last June.

The receiver suffered a broken leg in the first game of the season last September. But he returned in time to play in Southridge's last seven games (two regular-season games and five playoff games).

In those seven games, Mathews caught 26 passes for 475 yards and seven touchdowns.

The Skyhawks defeated Lake Oswego 35-21 for their school's first-ever state football championship at Reser Stadium.
