MISSION VIEJO, California, Dec. 13 — It's the North vs. The South.
Or more specifically, it's the kings of Northern California vs. The champions from Southern California in a game that will decide the Golden State's Open Division championship Saturday night.
As usual, the favorites hail from the CIF's Southern Section, but it's the usual suspects from Mater Dei [Santa Ana, CA] or St. John Bosco [Bellflower, CA]. No, this time it's the No. 7/SN No. 15 Santa Margarita [Rancho Santa Margarita, CA] Eagles who are still standing and seeking their first state championship since 2011.
On the other side, it's a familiar face in the collective visage of the No. 15/SN No. 25 De La Salle [Concord, CA] Spartans, the Northern California representatives who will be looking to break a streak of seven straight losses in the title game.
Game time is set for 11 p.m. EST (8 p.m. PST local).
