California high school football heads into more playoff action this Friday, with a massive double feature of Super 25 matchups headlining the Southern Section semifinals.
No. 3 St. John Bosco (Bellflower, Calif.) takes on No. 18 Centennial (Corona, Calif.), while No. 6 Mater Dei (Santa Ana, Calif.) will line up against No. 25 Sierra Canyon (Chatsworth, Calif.).
For the boys from Bellflower and Corona, it will be the first meeting since 2019, which ended in a 52-14 Bosco win.
A win in 2023 for St. John Bosco would open up the opportunity for the team to compete for its second-straight CIF-SS championship while also making a solid case for Super 25 supremacy.
Meanwhile, a win for Centennial would send the team to the Los Angeles Coliseum next week to play for the program’s 11th CIF title — while creating a massive shift in the rankings that would most likely send the Huskies into the top 10.
Overall, it should be one of the best games of the year, with both teams featuring top talent on offense and defense.
