Great finish for regular season ending

Wow, How ’bout them finishes on the final day/night of area high school football?!

in most cases, teams that needed to step up did so in impessive fashion:
St. Paul, needing a victory to collect one of the four-team Mission League’s two automatic berths, stunned favored St. Francis, 21-9, behind a hard-working defense and an offensive line that made life easier for the Swordsmen’s small but honest running backs.
Whittier, needing a victory to make the CIF Southern Section’s postseason tournament, rose to the occasion behind its potent ground attack that totaled 345 yards to defeat La Serna, which also needed a win to clinch the berth, 31-10. La Serna’s 7-3 record still might get the Lancers an at-large invite.
Whittier Christian, assured of a playoff berth but not willing to settle for second place in the Alpha League, rolled over previously unbeaten (in league) Maranatha, 20-6, to claim a share of the league title.
Congrats to all.
