MaxPreps Top 25 high school football scores: Mililani shocks No. 8 Kahuku with 28-21 upset win

No. 25 Liberty (Peoria) beat No. 23 Centennial (Peoria) 36-17 in the only MaxPreps Top 25 matchup of the week. The win clinched the No. 1 seed in the AIA Open Division playoffs that get underway in two weeks. It was the fifth straight victory for the Lions after a 42-35 loss at No. 20 Centennial (Corona, Calif.). It was the first loss of the season for the Coyotes. 

Senior quarterback Navi Bruzon completed 17 of 24 passes for 371 yards and three touchdowns to go with 139 yards on the ground. He connected with Braylon Gardner on two long touchdowns and put the game out of reach midway through the fourth quarter with an 11-yard TD pass to Ryan Jezioro. It was the fourth straight win for the Lions over Centennial.

The biggest upset of the week came late Saturday night as Mililani (Hawaii) beat No. 8 Kahuku (Hawaii) 28-21 in the OIA Open Division championship. The Trojans snapped the Red Raiders 31-game winning streak against in-state competition. Junior quarterback Kini McMillian threw for 274 yards and three touchdowns to go with 114 yards rushing and another score. Kahuku erased a 21-7 deficit and tied the game early in the fourth quarter but McMillan's 1-yard touchdown run with just over six minutes left ended up being the difference.

No. 1 Bishop Gorman (Las Vegas) improved to 11-0 with a 63-12 win over Coronado (Henderson) in the NIAA Class 5A Division 1 semifinals.
