Mater Dei turned in a dominating defensive performance in the second half to defeat Corona Centennial.
No. 1-ranked Mater Dei turned in a dominating defensive performance in the second half Thursday night to pull away from No. 2 Corona Centennial and give new coach Raul Lara a 42-25 victory in a football opener at Santa Ana Stadium. Junior linebacker Shaun Scott put together a sequence of plays late in the third quarter that left the Huskies unable to respond.
He had to leave the game for one play after taking a shot near his face by Mater Dei linebacker Nasir Wyatt. He ran six times for 52 yards in the first half and had a 76-yard touchdown pass to Cory Butler. Mater Dei quarterback Dash Beierly, a transfer from Chaparral, missed twice on deep balls to open receivers in the first half. He also had touchdown passes of seven yards to Mark Bowman and four yards to Chris Henry Jr. and showed that he has some running ability out of the pocket.
