Corona Centennial head coach Matt Logan celebrates after two of the 10 CIF Southern Section titles his teams have won. In 2008 in week two, his squad won one of its biggest regular season in-state games with a 47-35 win over Mater Dei. Photos: Mark Tennis.
This is how the season looked after the second week during our week-by-week replay for three of the most exciting, unpredictable football seasons we’ve covered in our 40-plus years: 1981, 1994 and 2008. No. 1 teams were still Cordova of Rancho Cordova, Bishop Amat of La Puente and De La Salle of Concord. Mater Dei of Santa Ana had lost in a week two showdown in 2008, but in 1994 the Monarchs won in a similar matchup. Go inside to see which future NFL quarterback said this: “They’re an L.A. team. We just had to show them what’s what.”

Like a memorable movie or perhaps any episode of Seinfeld, watching that movie or TV show more than once never gets old.
One of our features for the upcoming weeks when we’d normally be knee-deep in football coverage will be to replay three of the most exciting California high school football seasons from the preseason, every week during the regular season, then the playoffs and finally through the final state rankings.
