2. Whiplash
It's rare a game lives up to expectation, especially when the game is picked as the
No. 1 game in the nation. But the crazy 68-64
Centennial (Corona, Calif.) win over
Serra (Gardena, Calif.) in the CIF Southern Section Pac 5 playoffs Friday surpassed it.
The game featured more than 1,000 yards and — get this — 15 lead changes in a battle of once nationally-ranked teams. The back-and-forth action could have caused whiplash for fans trying to keep up.
See complete story.
Serra lost despite one of the best games a quarterback has played in a Pac-5 playoff game.
Khalil Tate passed for 402 yards and five touchdowns, and ran for 119 more and three more scores.
J.J. Taylor
scored on a 1-yard run with 5:23 left for the 15th and final lead
change, putting his team up 68-64. An interception by host Centennial with
2:57 to go basically sealed it.
