For a while it looked like California’s Open Division championship between De La Salle, #2 in High School Football America’s Top 25, and Corona Centennial was going to come down to which team had the ball last.  The two teams were tied at 7, 14, 28 and 35 before De La Salle, the five time Open Division champs, pulled away in the second half for a 63-42 win.

According to OCSidelines.com’s game summary, the two teams combined for 1,129 yards in offense.

After the Huskies tied the game at 35 in the third quarter, De La Salle (14-0) reeled-off three touchdowns to seal the victory.  Corona Centennial, which started the season 1-2, finished with a 13-3 record.
