@Big Joe
Here’s what I have on Centennial.
The Huskies’ offense averages 50.4 points, 276 yards passing, and 266.2 yards rushing per game. It’s led by QB Robert Webber (5’10″,170lb.Jr)whose passing is 229/369(62%) completions for 3660 yards(214yrds per game), 38 TDs and a rating of 125. His rushing is 85 times for 720 yards (8.5 ypc)(48 ypg) and 7 TDs. RB Tre Watson(5’10″,190lb.Jr.)has carried 156 times for 1450 yrds(9.3 ypc)(103.6 ypg) and 22 TDs. RB Austin
Renken (5’7″,170lb. Sr.) has rushed 163 times for 1199yrds(7.4 ypc)(85.6 ypg)and 19TDs. Several other backs have run for yardage and scores. The receivers are Chase Krivashi (5’9″, 165lb. Sr)who’s caught 76 for 1196 yrds(15.7 ypr)and 2TDs (he’s also run 6 times for 157yrds. and 2 TDs.); Barry Ware (6’2″, 190lb. Jr.)41/915(22.3 ypr) and 10 TDs; Ryan Pascarella(6’2″, 190lb. Sr.) 52/684(13.2 ypr) and 8 TDs; D’Vonte McNeely (5’11″, 200lb. Jr.) 41/598(14.6 ypr) and 2 TDs; Marco Catalino(5’6″, 140lb. Sr.) 13/236(18.2 ypr) and 2 TDs; Joe Wheat (6’2″,180lb. Sr) 17/289(17 ypr); and Grayson Bankhead (5’7″,160lb. So.) 8/273(9.1 ypr) and 1 TD. The O line averages well over 250lbs. and is anchored by Cameron Hunt (6’5″, 275 lb. Sr.) who also will play on defense. The Huskies run nearly excusively (even in short yardage situations) out of the spread offense.
On defense, they have held their opponents to 26.1 points per game; not as formidable as their offense (however, tougher, most likey, than Folsom’s D).
The Huskies’ kicking and punting games are good, but not exceptional.
Their overall special team’s play is very good, especially on coverage.
Centennial is coached by Matt Logan, one of the most respected in the Southland. They supposively have 123 on their roster (there are several duplicated numbers for some of their players). Few on the roster are listed for both offense and defense. Max Preps has them currently rated at 72.4, #1 in the state. Their strength of schedule rating is 46.1, tough but several teams in the Southland have stronger ones. The Big 8, their league which the Huskies perenially win, has a 35.9 average power rating compared to the EBAL with a 31.1 (however if DLS were to be included like Centennial is in their league, the EBAL’s average is 35.7). De La Salle’s power rating is currently 71.1 #2 in the state (finally Freeman’s computor is giving the Spartans their due) and with an SOS of 40.8.
Narbonne, the team they beat 41-34 in the South Open Regional, had been favored by most (including Freeman’s computor). Bonne was loaded with 9 or 10 D1 players (Centennial has several too, though.) The Huskies had a 27-7 halftime lead, but the Gauchos came out and dominated the 2nd half and tied it up at 34-34, but Centennial scored again in the final couple of minutes and held. Obviously, Bonne found the chink in the Huskies’ defense for the 2nd half.(Wish it had been on TV up here).
I’ll give my take on this game(and all the Cal Bowls) coming up in Carson in the next few days.

I hope DeLa didnt disappoint anyone tonite. The destruction of Folsom and the sacking of Sacramento should easy the frustration of the negative bloggers.

One last shout out for 2012…..good luck to the NCS teams and Mack! And props again to Pittsburg for beating 2 of the NorCal participants and giving DLS a run for their money. Not bad for a team that was “typical Pitt” (undisciplined), had a weak defense, and was a 9 seed! Also with a coaching staff that was virtually brand new. Would’ve been scary to see what they could’ve done with Mays and Daniels, Pitt kids at Freedom, not to mention the hand full of players at DLS(see Boss Tagaloa)!

Can’t wait til next year!

Good Luck Clayton Valley, Mack, SI, MC, and DLS! Lets go Yay Area!!!!

A question for CIF and Comcast:
How come the South D1 Regional (tonight), D2 and Open (tomorrow night) are all being broadcast live by Time Warner on TV. Their D4 regional (tonight) and D3 (tomorrow night) are also being tape delayed broadcast by Time Warner on TV?
All we (north of the Chowchilla, and probably Fresno area too) get from Comcast is The North Open Regional tommorrow night.

As a consolation, there will be live audio of all the regional games on http://www.playonsports.com/channels/california (if your computor has YouTube).
