No. 3 Corona Centennial breaks through in second half to down Orange Lutheran

Video: 3-star RB J.J. Taylor (Corona Centennial, CA) - 2014 highlights

Upset alert turned into same old, same old Friday when Centennial (Corona, Calif.) broke a halftime deadlock with Orange Lutheran (Calif.) and registered a 35-14 victory at Orange Coast College.

Social media, the television broadcast and the stands were abuzz when the game finished 24 minutes with a 7-7 score. The Lancers defense was playing tough football and goaded the Huskies into three turnovers.

But then Matt Logan's Huskies regrouped at the half and did what they do best - they scored four touchdowns in the second half and put the game away. Logan got a special water bath afterwards from his players after securing his 200th career victory in his 19th season.

"We needed this, we needed some adversity. We needed to play four quarters to improve as a football team. It's the best thing that could have happened to us," Logan told Fox Sports West's Rahshaun Haylock after the game.

J.J. Taylor (28 runs, 137 yards) ran for three touchdowns for Centennial, including the first of the game. Quarterback Anthony Catalano went 60 yards on his own early in the second half to make it 14-7 and then Taylor plunged in from the 5-yard line to make it 21-7 with 6:08 left in the third.

The turning point came after that drive when the Lancers came up inches short on a fourth-down try at the Centennial 10-yard line. Taylor eventually ran in from 7 yards out (50 seconds into the final quarter) to make it 28-7 and put the game out of reach for the No. 3 team in the Xcellent 25.

Javon McKinley (10 catches, 197 yards) caught a 13-yard score with 1:54 left to cap off the night.

For Orange Lutheran, ranked in the MaxPreps Southern California Top 25, Dominik Austin ran in a 5-yard touchdown to make it 28-14. The first score was a pass from LJ Northington to Brandon Mckinney for about 20 yards.

Centennial tallied 525 total yards, not very surprising. Orange Lutheran, a methodical running team, managed a solid 410 yards, a bit more of a shock.
