1. Mater Dei, 8-2 #6 N, #3 Ca, home field (W) vs Mission Viejo, 9-2, #29 N, #6 Ca, 20-0. Saw the game on TV, conditions were bad, wet, rainy. Bad day for QB’s and passing game. MD won the game because they ran well, D played a great game, stuffing Mission Viejo run game and gave MV QB and Wr’s fits. MD team speed was another factor. Oh, M. Bowman played both ways, quiet on O but a Force on D. He was all over da field stuffing RB’s and 2 QB sacks. I’m wondering if USC would play him both ways?
Mater Dei, rushing = 210 yds, 3 TD’s, pass = 64 yds, total O 274 yds. QB Hopkins had a poor game, 4/14 29%, 64 yds. Hopkins was off in his passing mechanics; he threw too hard. Wr’s dropped 4 in your hands passes because passes had too much zip in those wet conditions.
Mission Viejo, passing 101 yds, rushing 59 yds = 160 T yds.. Next week, semi finals, MD plays Centennial for their rubber match. MD lost a close game due to 8 TO. I think MD will win next week.
2. St John Bosco, home field, 10-1 #4 N, #1 Ca (L) vs OLu, Orange Lutheran, 3-8, #15 Ca, #70 N, 19-20, Big Upset. OLu had to forfeit 2 pre-season wins or their record would be 5-6. How rain and wet conditions can FU things, SJB crushed Olu 48-0, 4 weeks ago. SJB scored a TD late in 4th qt, making the score 20-19, Olu. SJB went for the 2pt conversion to win the game, but failed.
SJB stats, P = 10/22, 71 yds, 1 TD, R = 35, 208 yds, 2 TD = 279 T yds
OLu stats, P = 6/11, 105 yds, 2 TD, R = 35, 153 yds, 1 TD = 258 T yds
3. Sierra Canyon, home field #7 N, # 4 Ca (L) vs Santa Margarita, # 12 N, # 5 Ca, 9-21. Mild upset, nah they were close in talent. But, SC dominated teams all season. I had predicted SC to win da a close game. This is SC best team since becoming a power in da SS CIF. Again, rain and wet conditions must have played a huge factor in their loss.
4. Centennial, home field, # 5 N, # 2 C (W) vs Servite, #65 N, #12 Ca, 41-6. Not surprised by score. Next week Cent plays Mater Dei in da semi finals and had better bring their A game. MD has been playing Xlent FB lately.
