Excitement Brews for High School Football Matchups in Corona and Valencia!

As football fever sets in across the cities, fans are gearing up for an electrifying weekend! This Thursday, September 7th and Friday, September 8th, two captivating matchups will headline the high school football scene: Corona Centennial vs. Santa Margarita and Valencia vs. Chaminade.

Corona Centennial vs. Santa Margarita: A Clash of Talents

Kicking things off on Thursday at 7:30 p.m., the Corona Centennial Huskies, fresh off a dominant 42-14 win over Servite, are eager to bump their record to 2-0. In their previous game, the star of the show was the senior quarterback Dominick Catalano, who dazzled the crowd with his impressive performance managing the offense. Fans can expect him to build on that momentum against Santa Margarita.

Now, the Santa Margarita Eagles, despite starting the season with a 0-1 record, are not to be taken lightly. With a defense that possesses an exceptionally active and aggressive front seven, they’ll be looking to challenge Centennial’s rising offense. How will the Eagles adjust? A likely strategy will involve giving the ball to standout receiver Trent Mosley more frequently, creating some serious fireworks on the field.

Experts are predicting a close contest, but it seems the buzz is leaning toward a potential win for Santa Margarita, who will need to dig deep to surprise the Huskies!

Valencia vs. Chaminade: Showdown Under the Lights

Moving on to Friday, September 8th, at 7 p.m., we shift our focus to Valencia as they prepare to battle it out with Chaminade. Both teams enter the game with a 1-0 record, bringing their A-game for what promises to be a nimble matchup.

Chaminade clinched an impressive upset against Oaks Christian in their last outing, showcasing a formidable offensive line that could give Valencia a run for their money. However, Valencia has some exciting talent in their own right. With dual-threat quarterback Brady Bretthauer and explosive running back Brian Bonner, this dynamic duo is capable of lighting up the scoreboard and leading their team to victory.

This matchup is generating quite a bit of excitement, and predictions are in favor of Valencia to take the win as they look to slice through Chaminade’s defenses.

What Else is Happening?

Excitement doesn’t stop there! Mater Dei and St. John Bosco are also making waves this week. Mater Dei kicked off the season with a nail-biting 26-23 victory over Fort Lauderdale’s Aquinas. Meanwhile, St. John Bosco dominated the field with a 31-0 win against Florida’s Bradenton Manatee. They’re both slated for Friday night matchups that fans are not going to want to miss!

The Southern Section football landscape is changing, especially following Narbonne’s disqualification due to rules violations. Teams like Carson, San Pedro, and Palisades see an opportunity to rise as they vie for the City Section title.
