Is Narbonne the best Los Angeles City Section team in years? Manuel Douglas' squad can certainly make that claim, after navigating through its season with a 14-0 record that includes victories over Mater Dei, Long Beach Poly, Serra and Crenshaw. Still, there's some concern in the Narbonne ranks, as star senior quarterback
Troy Williams, a Washington commit, separated his shoulder in a semifinal win against Carson. He ignites the Narbonne offense, having thrown for 2,519 yards and 36 touchdowns. On defense, Narbonne has forced 21 turnovers and has allowed just more than seven points per game.

Head coach Matt Logan is the architect of the Huskies program that has been arguably the most consistent in the southern part of the state over the last five years. Both of Centennial's leading offensive weapons (
Robert Webber and
Tre Watson) are juniors, so the Centennial wagon should continue rolling into 2013.
