Friday night, the Diablos, ranked No. 68 in the High School Football America 300 national rankings, powered by NFL Play Football, beat No. 55 De La Salle 27-14 at Saddleback College.
DLS, looking for its eighth overall state championship, took a 7-0 lead, but that was followed by 24 unanswered points by MV. Phillip Bell had two touchdown catches for the Diablos.
