Projected Champion

Marin Catholic: After a stellar undefeated regular season, the Wildcats are having another
remarkable season after advancing to the state championship last season. Led by Oregon
quarterback commit Morgan Mahalak and Nevada bound receiver/defensive back Andrew Celis,
everything is falling in place yet again in Kentfield. They should roll through their side of the bracket,
but can get tough tests in (4) Analy and (5) Cardinal Newman. The championship will be the toughest test,
as they will face either a loaded El Cerrito squad or Campolindo. Don't expect the Wildcats to not endure
the same postseason success as last season, as this team is relatively the same in terms of dominance,
coaching, and talent as last year.

Projected Runner-Up

El Cerrito: Led by a strong defense, with Arizona State bound linebacker DJ Calhoun and UCLA bound
defensive back Adarius Pickett, whom are both 4 stars, are considered one of the most talented teams
in Northern California. Although they are a 3-seed because they lost to 2-seeded Campolindo 42-27 earlier
this season, don't expect them to fall again to the Cougars. This is a resilient El Cerrito squad that wants nothing
less than a berth to the section championship, and are title-hungry. Arizona State receiver commit Jalen Harvey also
adds to the talent-heavy Gauchos, and expect them to advance all the way to the NCS Division 3 championship game.
