2021 Week 14: How We See the Finals
We’re on holiday, in the process of enriching the Las Vegas economy, so this will be short, in more ways than one.
This week’s fearless, if not peerless, Division I-V predictions:
D-I, Lincoln 31, Helix 20. Can’t go against my alma mater.
D-II, Scripps Ranch 38, La Jolla 35. I live in the community of three million eucalyptus trees and my daughter went to school there.
D-III, Mater Dei 26, Ramona 21. Bulldogs have bite but this is coach John Joyner’s best Crusaders team since 2015 state champion.
D-IV, Patrick Henry 49, University City 42. Gotta’ roll with club coached by J.T. O’Sullivan, friend of my son-in-law’s since their days at University of California-Davis.
D-V, Mission Bay 35, Blythe Palo Verde Valley 14. Yellowjackets travel more than 200 miles for first championship game since 2015. Buccaneers beat Mountain Empire, 49-0. Blythe measured the Red Hawks, 34-21.
And congratulations to Cathedral and coach Sean Doyle, who coached his 11th San Diego Section championship, a 48-19 win over Carlsbad.
Have a happy Thanksgiving.
