It’s now officially official, Mater Dei (California) is our 2017 national champion with the release of our final Top 100 for the season. The Monarchs had an outstanding season…maybe one of the best of all-time.
Mater Dei was a perfect 15-0 in winning California’s Open Division championship last weekend, which really clinched our “mythical” national championship. The Monarchs began the season ranked No. 2 in our Preseason Top 100.
