Jaden Walk-Green leads Centennial past Mater Dei in Division 1 rematch
The Huskies fell 10-9 to the Monarchs early in the season, but the versatile Walk-Green did a little of everything in the playoff rematch.
Centennial's Jaden Walk-Green led the Huskies to a 45-15 Division 1 playoff victory over Mater Dei on Friday. The game, held at Santa Ana Stadium, began with an efficient 80-yard drive by senior quarterback Jaden Jefferson, who led the Huskies to a three-touchdown lead by the third minute. Mater Dei's inability to tackle all night long proved costly, as Centennial scored 35 points in the first half, trailing only briefly in the third quarter when the Monarchs scored 15 points.
Centennial's standout player, Walk-Green, had a remarkable performance, contributing to the game with extra points, a field goal, catches, punts, punt returns, tackles, and even a completion to Jefferson. The Huskies' coach, Matt Logan, praised his team for controlling the football and committing turnovers sparingly, highlighting the team's resilience despite injuries and losses throughout the season.
