Centennial started its final drive on its 35-yard line with 3:31 left in the game. This was the first time in Rojas' career that he kicked a game-winner near the end of a game.

The explosive Zidane Thomas of Centennial rushed for 316 yards Thursday, including a 73-yard touchdown run to give Centennial a 20-17 lead with 1:27 remaining in the third quarter. Photo by Kevin French/maxpreps.com.

Pinnacle's Hayden Hatten (No. 88), one of Rattler's favorite targets, left the game in the third quarter with a shoulder injury and didn't return. Hatten was on the receiving end of a 10-yard, third quarter touchdown pass by Rattler, the first touchdown Centennial's defense gave up this year. Photo by Kevin French/maxpreps.com.
