We've got a West Coast showcase on our hands Friday, Sept. 11.
Mater Dei, ranked No. 14 in USA TODAY Sports' latest Super 25 rankings, will play host to No. 7 Centennial in a battle between two of Southern California's best. The Monarchs are unbeaten, while the Huskies have one loss, which came at the hands of No. 4 Santa Margarita.
And with two nationally ranked teams meeting this early in the season, there's plenty at stake in Southern California.
Mater Dei enters Friday night looking to continue its perfect start and make another statement against one of the nation's premier programs. The Monarchs have become synonymous with elite high school football, routinely producing Power Four recruits and NFL talent while competing for championships at the state and national
levels.
Centennial has built a reputation of its own as one of California's most talented programs. The Huskies have consistently been a force in the state and enter Friday's matchup with a chance to pick up one of the biggest wins of their season against a Mater Dei team that sits inside the USA TODAY Super 25.
The game also brings together a collection of some of the top high school football talent in the country. Mater Dei's roster features four-star USC commit Danny Lang, three-star Oregon commit Lex Mailangi, and three-star UCLA commit Montana Toiolo, while Centennial counters with four-star USC commit Quentin Hale, three-star Washington commit Jaden Walk-Green, and three-star Cal commit Miles Schirmer. Several players on both sides have already attracted attention from major college football programs, adding another layer to an already high-profile matchup.
Follow along for live updates between Mater Dei and Centennial, with a kickoff slated for 10 PM ET/7 PM PT at Santa Ana Stadium.
