Breakdown: Get ready for the fireworks, as two great offenses will square off in the CIF Southern Section Division 4 quarterfinal…The Sea Kings have scored 44.7 points per game, while the Titans have averaged 42.4 points in their contests…Offenses can only move the ball via the run or a completed pass, so the Sea Kings should cherish their final games with Cal-committed quarterback Chase Garbers. He has completed 71.2% of his passing attempts, and he has thrown 40 touchdowns to only four interceptions…Corona del Mar’s defense has its hands full, as it draws the task of trying to fill the running lanes available to Nathan Tilford. The senior transfer from Upland needs 110 rushing yards on Friday to reach the 2,000-yard mark, and he already has 30 touchdowns on the ground…Teddy Barber and Bryce Clabaugh have combined for 29.5 tackles for a loss for the Sea Kings.
