CIF-SS Football playoff pairings come out Sunday morning.

Here is my prediction of how the Inland Division pairings will look:

• South Hills (6-4) at No. 1 Vista Murrieta (10-0)
• Norco (6-4) at Redlands East Valley (5-4)
• Corona Santiago (5-4) at Rancho Cucamonga (8-2)
• Great Oak (5-5) at No. 4 Charter Oak (9-1)
• Redlands (7-3) at No. 3 Upland (10-0)
• Chaparral (7-3) at Chino Hills (7-2-1)
• Eisenhower (7-2) at Murrieta Valley (9-1)
• Los Osos (5-5) at No. 2 Corona Centennial (9-1)

Here are Friday night’s prep football scores, with some thoughts
AMBASSADOR LEAGUE
Ontario Christian 27, Aquinas 20 (Christian Dirksen scores 21 of the 27 points)

Craig Lee won’t arrive at UCLA until next season, but the Redlands High School running back has already faced plenty of college-caliber talent this year.

Thursday night the Terriers took on a defending CIF champion Summit defense with eight returning starters that included multiple Division I prospects, but Lee couldn’t be contained for the second consecutive week as he churned out 148 rushing yards and two touchdowns in a 21-12 victory at Miller High School.

After Lee was held to 80 yards on 20 carries in a season-opening blowout loss to the CIF-SS Inland Division’s No. 2 team last week, Redlands bounced back by pulling away from the defending Eastern Division champions in the second half thanks in large part to its UCLA-committed running back and a stout defensive effort. Rancho Cucamonga, which features at least four defensive players with multiple scholarship offers, handed Redlands a 40-17 loss last week but Terriers coach Jim Walker knew his team gave the Cougars plenty of assists.
