Centennial vs. Mater Dei: Live score updates from California football playoff clash

Two months after a low-scoring battle between two of the best teams in California, Centennial (Corona, CA) has a chance to make up for its regular-season loss to Mater Dei (Santa Ana, CA).Centennial, 7-3, has slipped in and out of USA TODAY Sports West Region Super 15 rankings this season. Its record is worse than expected, but the results have been incredibly tight: The Huskies lost to No. 19 Mater Dei 10-9, No. 1 Santa Margarita 21-20 and No. 15 De La Salle 35-32 — three losses by a combined five points. Behind QB Jaden Jefferson, LB Matt Salmeron and the return of DB/K Jaden Walk-Green, the team has remained formidable. Not to mention, star WR Quentin Hale may return from injury.Meanwhile, Paytyn Guess has grabbed the quarterback spot for Mater Dei after a tandem role in the first half of the season, and has helped kickstart the offense that had a mightily slow start. The Monarchs have scored at least 40 points in each of the last four games, and Guess had six total touchdowns against rival St. John Bosco (Bellflower, CA) to close the regular season.Keep up with the game below and follow on the NFHS Network.
