The MaxPreps Game of the Week is putting California’s Southern Section Division 1 quarterfinals in the spotlight Friday as No. 24 Centennial (Corona) takes the short trip to Orange County to face No. 13 Mater Dei (Santa Ana) at Santa Ana Stadium.
Payback is in play for Centennial (7-3), which dropped a frustrating 10-9 game to Mater Dei (8-2) on Sept. 11 at the same venue despite giving up just 140 total yards. The Monarchs dropped two games to the Huskies in 2025, including a season-ending, 28-27 loss in the section semifinals.
