The Husky Revenge Tour

vs.

De La Salle (Concord) vs. Centennial (Corona)

16 21

Centennial had a bad taste in their mouths after losing last season to Concord De La Salle at the Home Depot Center. So, they decided to make amends by becoming the first-ever team in their history to go undefeated, getting some hard-earned revenge. They will be keen to see what happens between St. Thomas Aquinas and Long Beach Poly. IF both of them fall, the bling is theirs.

CARSON - As prep football legends go, none is bigger than Concord De La Salle.
Friday night, however, no legend was too big for Corona Centennial. The Huskies took one more giant step in their own impressive rise as a powerhouse by winning the school's first state title.
Centennial's exuberant, wide-open offense and its tough-guy defense outlasted De La Salle at the Home Depot Center, as the Huskies avenged a loss to the Spartans in this same venue one year ago to capture the CIF-State Division 1 championship.

"It's great because it's the team that beat us last year, and it's the team that has the best record of all time," said Huskies senior running back Arthur Burns as his teammates celebrated around him.
It was the 21-16 cherry on top that Centennial has been seeking for at least a year.
The school has already found an identity.
Under Coach Matt Logan, the Huskies have ascended to the upper echelons of prep football. They are a regionally renowned program, serving as a magnet for talented players looking for a place to show off and test their own skills.
In the 951 and the 909, Centennial rules. But the Huskies have expanded their brand.
They are celebrated as a CIF power, certified by five division titles in this decade, and sitting on two consecutive appearances in state championship bowl games.
They are ranked in national prep polls, as high as No. 2 on the USA Today chart this past week.
The Huskies routinely send their best players to college football programs you've heard of. Centennial just needed one more pretty bauble for its trophy case.
