Saturday’s CIF football championship games

A look at Saturday’s CIF state championship bowl games:

at Sacramento State:

Open Division

Bellflower St. John Bosco (12-2) vs. Concord De La Salle (11-1), 8 p.m. (SportsNet): It’s a rematch from the 2013 season when St. John Bosco went 16-0 and beat the Spartans, 20-14. The Braves’ offensive line is creating big opportunities for quarterback Re-Al Mitchell and running backs Terrance Beasley and Demetrius Flowers. De La Salle has made steady improvement with a young team, making the Spartans very dangerous. Junior Kairee Robinson has rushed for 1,833 yards. The pick: St. John Bosco.

Division 2-A

Chatsworth Sierra Canyon (14-0) vs. San Mateo Serra (10-4), noon (SportsNet L.A.): Sierra Canyon keeps passing every test. The Trailblazers are led by running back Bobby Cole and a defense that has speed and toughness. Serra, the school that produced Tom Brady and Lynn Swann, has a versatile standout in Leki Nunn, a San Jose State commit who accounted for six touchdowns last week. The pick: Sierra Canyon.

Division 1-A

San Clemente (12-3) vs. Loomis Del Oro (13-2), 4 p.m. (SportsNet L.A.): The Tritons got hot in the playoffs and there’s no reason they can’t keep winning. Quarterback Jack Sears keeps delivering, and he’s getting help from junior running back Austin Whitsett. Del Oro is used to playing in big games. It won a state title last season and has its own talented quarterback in Stone Smartt, who has passed for nearly 3,000 yards. The pick: San Clemente.
