In the blink of an eye, each CIF Southern Section high school football playoff division is down to just four teams. The quarterfinals of the postseason were played Friday night, and the semifinals in all divisions - 1 through 14 - are set.

Corona Centennial gave Mission Viejo its only loss of the season Friday night, led by 5-star QB Husan Longstreet and junior running back Malachi Roby in a 25-20 victory on the road. Now, the Huskies will get a second chance at Mater Dei in Corona in the Division 1 semifinals.

There were a few notable victories in the quarterfinal round. Yorba Linda knocking off Gardena Serra 24-20 and Newbury Park beating San Clemente on the road 24-13 in Division 2. Oxnard Pacifica rallied late in the fourth quarter to edge Long Beach Poly 45-41 in Division 4. St. Francis, which came into the postseason with just three wins, beat Muir 28-27 in Division 6.

The game that provided the best scenery was when Baldwin Park traveled to play Big Bear in the snow. (STORY-PHOTOS)
