Mater Dei and Corona Centennial played on Sept. 11, and Mater Dei won 10-9. The Huskies average 39.9 points a game, and on Friday night they get the Monarchs again with a CIF Southern Section Division 1 semifinal spot on the line.

Both teams are in the MaxPreps national Top 25, according to the MaxPreps rankings and schedule data: Mater Dei is No. 13 at 8-2 and Centennial is No. 24 at 7-3.
