By Valley Life 247Sports Staff

Some seasons are good.Some seasons are great. Then there are seasons that change the identity of a program forever. In 2025, Syree Matthew didn’t just play quarterback for Moreno Valley High School he resurrected a legacy. From the very first snap, he brought a level of dominance, energy, and belief that the Vikings had not seen in years. Playing under the weight of history is never easy. Moreno Valley carries expectations, tradition, and pressure. Most crumble.

Syree rose.

BUILT FOR THE MOMENT

Ask the coaching staff what separates him, and they won’t start with arm strength or speed.

They’ll tell you this:

“He’s one of the greatest personalities and most spirited kids we’ve ever coached. A true leader. A pleasure to coach.”

Syree is the kind of quarterback who lifts everyone around him.His smile sets the tone.His confidence fuels the huddle.His presence changes the field before the ball is even snapped.

He doesn’t just run an offense.He commands it.

WHEN THE LIGHTS TURN ON, HE SHINES

Week after week, Syree lit up the field with a rare combination of explosiveness, poise, and control. He didn’t rely on one dimension.He attacked with his legs.He dissected with his arm.And when the moment demanded greatness he answered. From comeback drives to statement wins, he proved again and again that pressure is not something he fears it’s something he thrives in.

A LEGENDARY CAMPAIGN

Over the course of the season, Syree accounted for 2,601 total yards, blending elite passing and dynamic rushing in a way that made defenses helpless:

• Nearly 1,650 passing yards

• Nearly 1,000 rushing yards

• Multiple 300+ and 400+ total-yard performances

• League Champions (4–1)

• 8–3 overall record

• #1 in league

Every week, he delivered.Every game, he elevated.Every moment, he represented.

THE STANDARD IS RESET

Moreno Valley High School is not just back.

It is reborn.

And at the center of it stands Syree Matthew a quarterback who played with heart, joy, fire, and excellence.

He didn’t just wear the blue and gold.He became what it stands for.

This wasn’t just a season.

This was a statement.This was a legacy.This was history.

REMEMBER THE NAME.
