The OT7 Finals came to a close Sunday with Lo-Pro once again securing its second consecutive championship with a win over Trillion Boys.
LOS ANGELES — The 2026 edition of the OT7 Finals was back on the West Coast over the weekend, but a familiar team found its way to the top. Lo-Pro secured its third title in five years and its second in a row Sunday after winning the championship game.
The team that is based in Las Vegas, and built with players from that city as well as Hawaii, dropped just one game over three days. Lo-Pro has a methodical approach and dices teams up and down the field. It culminated with 94 points across two playoff games Sunday.
The final victory came against Trillion Boys, which defeated Raw Miami in an exciting semifinal matchup. For Lo-Pro, it was able to avenge its only loss of the weekend in a semifinals rematch against C1N.
There were plenty of highlight performances throughout the final day through the final whistle.
Lo-Pro Earns Second Consecutive OT7 Finals Title
The story of the championship was the Lo-Pro defense and star receiver Kaiden Hunn. The combination of those two things ultimately led to the 45-28 win. Hunn was dominant throughout the weekend for the Lo-Pro squad during its run through the OT7 Finals.
Sunday, he was at his best. The rising junior from Pinecrest Academy Sloan Canyon (Nevada) shined with his ability to get open and in the end zone. Hunn had seven of his 17 touchdowns of the event on the final day. That included four touchdown grabs in the championship game vs. Trillion Boys.
His best catch came on his third touchdown of the game that gave Lo-Pro a 38-21 lead with under 5 minutes to play. QB Madden Dela Cruz delivered a perfect pass between two defenders, which Hunn caught in the back of the end zone. His foot just barely hit inside on a perfect play all the way around.
Defensively, rising senior safety Rysen Arcala was the star for Lo-Pro. He had two interceptions in the game including one on the final play to seal the championship.
The first came at a crucial point of the game with Lo-Pro up 28-21 early in the second half. He stepped in front of a pass in the end zone from Ryan Rakowski intended for Hayden Koo.
It was one of four key defensive plays for Lo-Pro. The defense forced two turnovers on downs in the OT7 Finals title game.
Championship Game Rundown
The scoring opened up with Hunn’s first touchdown grab on a 25-yard play following the turnover on downs. Dela Cruz found Hunn open behind the defense and delivered a good ball leading to the 7-0 advantage.
Cal commit Charles Davis (Westlake HS – CA) was the star for Trillion Boys on their second drive. The big WR/TE snagged a tough pass in the middle of the field before scoring on an 18-yard touchdown play to even the game 7-7. The 6-foot-5 pass-catcher is a matchup nightmare, and he used his size to his advantage in Sunday’s championship.
Lo-Pro and Trillion Boys went back and forth through most of the first half. Lo-Pro took a 14-7 lead on a touchdown pass from Dela Cruz to Nikko Cruz from 10 yards out with 2:35 to play. Rakowski needed just one pass to even up the game at 14-14.
He found Koo on a 40-yard deep pass on one of the best plays of the game. Hunn’s second touchdown followed on the ensuing drive to make it a 21-14 game with 19 seconds in the opening half. Another big pass connection between Rakowski and Davis set up a short touchdown grab for DJ Tubbs.
The touchdown came as time expired in the first making it 21-21 coming out of halftime.
Kainalu Hosaka helped Lo-Pro go back up 28-21 with a 25-yard touchdown on a swing pass. The rising junior, who finished his fifth OT7 season, took the pass 20 yards after the catch. The drive was part of the sequence that ultimately changed the game in favor of Lo-Pro.
Koo tacked on an impressive touchdown to help Trillion Boys cut the lead to 38-28 with under 2 minutes to play.
Recapping The OT7 Finals Semifinals Matchups
Prior to the championship game between Lo-Pro and Trillion Boys to decide the OT7 Finals champion, four teams squared off in the semifinals. There were two intriguing matchups that featured a ton of talent from around the country.
Trillion Boys – 31 | Raw Miami – 28
The contest between Trillion Boys and Raw Miami was the best of the day. The two teams are rivals within the OT7, and it lived up to the billing. Both teams are stacked with talent and anytime you have California and Florida battling it will always be entertaining.
Both states love to claim that the best players come from their states, and it was able to be decided on the field Sunday. WR Gavin Honore (Las Vegas-Bishop Gorman) opened up the scoring for Raw Miami before Trillion Boys answered with a Koo TD to make it 7-7.
Koo made some of the most difficult catches in the entire event in his two days of action at the OT7 Finals.
A big catch for Dennis Tua’one (Timpview HS – Provo, Utah) set up the second score of the day for Honore to make it a 14-7 game in the first. Raw Miami QB Ace Amina was strong all weekend and backed it up on Day 3.
Following a nice touchdown catch for Koo, Amina delivered a dart to Osani Gayles to put Raw Miami up 21-14 at the half. Gayles was one of the top performers throughout the event.
Trillion Boys Come Back In Semifinals
Amina and Tua’one linked up for a short TD to push the Raw Miami lead to 14 points with under 11 minutes to play. That is when things began to change for Trillion Boys. A fourth-down touchdown pass from Rakowski to Davis made it a 28-21 game.
Raw Miami ultimately couldn’t convert a fourth-and-1 leading to a stellar catch from Davis on the ensuing possession. The touchdown grab from 15 yards out was among the best plays of the weekend. Because it was a money drive worth 10 points, Trillion Boys took the win and spot in the title game.
Lo-Pro – 49 | C1N – 35
The other semifinal game matched up the two best offenses in the league with a spot in the OT7 Finals championship game on the line. C1N scored four victories over the course of the three days in Los Angeles. Cam Newton’s team features one of the top prospects in the country in 2028 receiver Brysen Wright.
The rising junior’s one-handed grab Saturday was arguably the top play of the event. Lo-Pro is a tough matchup for any team but C1N was the only team to defeat the eventual champs over the weekend. The 45-31 win set up an intriguing semifinal.
As you would expect, it was a high-scoring affair with the teams trading blows throughout. The Lo-Pro defense ultimately made enough of the right plays to pull out the victory.
Texas A&M commit Jaden Upshaw was on the receiving end of the first touchdown from Tennessee commit Derrick Baker. Lo-Pro did a good job of keeping Wright in check in the game while Hunn continued to make his presence felt on the offensive side.
LSU commit Ah’Mari Stevens (Hollywood, FL – Chaminade-Madonna) stepped in as playmaker for C1N in the semis. He put the team up 21-14 late the half with a stellar catch in the back of the end zone.
Like it did all day, Lo-Pro had an answer and Dela Cruz hit Maximus Curry for a touchdown on fourth-and-goal before the end of the half.
Lo-Pro Offense Explodes In Second Half To Reach OT7 Finals
It took one play into the second half for Lo-Pro to begin an onslaught on offense. Dela Cruz hit Curry again on a 40-yard completion with an over-the-shoulder catch. The play put Lo-Pro up 28-21 early in the half.
Stevens evened up the game 28-28 with another touchdown as his impressive final performance of the OT7 season continued. Lo-Pro quickly answered with arguably Hunn’s most impressive touchdown on Day 3 of the OT7 Finals. He took an underneath pass the distance and used his speed to break away for the score.
Baker connected with Lorenzo Barber to tie it up at 35-35 with under 6 minutes to play. Barber (Belleville HS – MI) shined throughout the weekend with his ability to get open. The back-and-forth affair continued with Hosaka getting in the end zone to give Lo-Pro the lead back on the next drive.
Late in the game it became which team could come up with a stop. Lo-Pro did enough and it’s stop of C1N after the 1-minute stoppage. It was the first stop by either team of the game.
Lo-Pro tacked on another touchdown as Dela Cruz hit Hunn for one of his seven touchdowns on the day to seal the victory.
