Centennial Coach Matt Logan said little mistakes can add up in a hurry against De La Salle, and his Huskies proved him right in the early going of their Division I state championship bowl game.

A bad punt snap gave De La Salle the ball at the Centennial 18-yard line, and after the Huskies had appeared to hold the Spartans to a field-goal attempt, De La Salle drew Centennial offsides, giving the Spartans a first down at the five-yard line. Two plays later, Terron Ward’s one-yard touchdown run gave De La Salle a 7-0 lead midway through the first quarter.

Ben Bolch has been a Los Angeles Times staff writer since 1999. He is serving his second stint as the UCLA beat writer, which seems fitting since he has covered almost every sports beat except hockey and horse racing. Bolch is also the author of the recently released book “100 Things UCLA Fans Should Know & Do Before They Die.” He previously covered UCLA basketball from 2010-11 before going on to cover the NBA and the Clippers for five years. He happily traded in gobs of hotel points and airline miles to return to cover UCLA basketball and football in the summer of 2016. Bolch was once selected by NBA TV’s “The Starters” as the “Worst of the Week” after questioning their celebrity journalism-style questions at an NBA All-Star game and considers it one of his finer moments.
