SJB’s only losses this year were to national champion Bishop Gorman (Nevada) and Trinity League foe Mater Dei, which was ranked #3 nationally at the time of their October 21st game. Bosco led both of those games at the half. The Braves avenged the Mater Dei loss earlier this month when they defeated the Monarchs for the CIF Southern Section Division 1 championship.
Rounding-out the Top 5 is Corona Centennial at #2, Mater Dei at #3, Rancho Cucamonga at #4 and #Mission Viejo at #5.
