Last year when the Mater Dei Monarchs squared off against the Corona Centennial Huskies, it was a clash of two top teams that ended in a high scoring thriller. This year's game was no different. The first quarter was filled with 2 play drives ending in touchdowns, two kickoffs being returned for TD's, and mesmerizing TD runs by Centennial's Arthur Burns. While it wasn't really a Burfict Night, it was a perfect night to see some offensive prowess from both teams as they scored the majority of the 47-35 points in the 1st quarter.

I've never been a big high school football fan. Decades ago when I was in high school I only went for the hot girls at school. Now I watched to see the hottest players in high school. Different kind of hot! Hot as in future stars for Saturday and eventually Sunday Football.

This game featured the #1 ranked QB in Matt Barkley and the #1 ranked MLB in Vontaze Burfict.

Barkley was amazing as always and I will elaborate on that further in another post today. Vontaze Burfict didn't have as many opportunities to show why he is such a highly touted player at MLB because of the make up of the game. He did show how hard he can hit by leaving a Monarch player on the ground for a few minutes after a devastating (somewhat late) hit.
