The heavy rainfall came to Southern California Friday night and bedlam ensued. Muddy fields, wacky scores and unlikely victors became the backdrop to the quarterfinals.

Orange Lutheran knocked off St. John Bosco 20-19 in the CIF Southern Section Division 1 quarterfinals in a stunning No. 8 vs. No. 1 matchup. The Braves, who were ranked No. 1 nationally just three weeks ago, are done.

Santa Margarita handed Sierra Canyon its first loss of the season, 21-9. Ryan Clark caught two touchdowns, and Trent Mosley ran in a touchdown to advance Carson Palmer's team to the semifinals.

More No. 1 seeds went down this week: Bishop Amat in D3, Charter Oak in D4, and Yucca Valley in D12.
