Things got a bit more precarious than they needed to be in the final seconds but Centennial is the new CIF State D-I football champion, courtesy its 21-16 victory over Concord De La Salle tonight.
I'd be curious to know what the Fox Sports Prime Ticket broadcast crew had to say about Centennial's decision to take an intentional safety with 7.8 seconds to go.
After a couple of laterals on the ensuing kickoff return, the Spartans came fairly close to breaking it all the way for a touchdown --- a la Cal against Stanford all of those years ago -- that would have snatched defeat out of the jaws of victory for the team from Riverside.
The gut feeling after watching the game: Centennial was considerably more talented and would have won by two-to-three TDs if not for a handful of miscues.
But it goes that way sometimes, right?
