CIF-SS Western Division Preview: No title for St. Francis

PUNCHER’S CHANCE: Jared Lebowitz will need to be on his game if St. Francis is to upset Lompoc in the Western playoffs. Photo by Larry Goren.


The good news for St. Francis was that it received an at-large bid to the Western Division playoffs. The bad news is it draws top seed Lompoc. It will be an uphill climb for the Golden Knights, and one I’m not sure they can make, even with quarterback Jared Lebowitz, who gives St. Francis a puncher’s chance. While I like the host Braves to knock out the Golden Knights, you can expect an all-Mission League final, with Serra getting some revenge on Chaminade.
