The high school football schedule is coming off a wild week, including two top 10 teams in the USA TODAY HSS Super 25 suffering defeats. And this week’s action is shaping up to provide just as much—if not more—drama across the gridiron.
One of the headliners is an Arizona-California matchup on Friday night that will definitely impact next week’s rankings.
No. 17 Liberty (Peoria, Ariz.) is on a roll in 2023, outscoring opponents 209 to 34 in four games and currently tied atop the challenging 6A Northeast Valley section.
Led by one of the top quarterbacks in the country, junior talent Navi Bruzon, the Lions present nightmare scenarios for the defense—on the ground and through the air—while featuring a shutdown lineup on the other side of the ball.
For Centennial (Corona, California), it’s a chance to return to the Super 25 with a big win at home. And make no mistake; this is a legitimately talented roster—the Huskies’ two losses this season are against the top two Super 25 programs, Mater Dei and Bishop Gorman, so overlooking this squad wouldn’t be a smart move.
The California power also features one of the best QBs in the game, super sophomore Husan Longstreet, who can dismantle defenses with his arm and legs.
If the defense clicks, then look out!
