CIF state football championships

Saturday at StubHub Center

Open Division

Bellflower St. John Bosco (15-0) vs. Concord De La Salle (14-0), 8 p.m. (Time Warner Cable Channel 101): The top two teams in the state face off in a much-anticipated showdown that features gigantic linemen and multiple college prospects on both sides of the ball. St. John Bosco’s defense must figure out how to deal with a De La Salle offensive line that has frequently confused opponents in its previous trips to Carson. Watch for how St. John Bosco linemen Malik Dorton and Jacob Tuioti-Mariner take on the challenge. Running back John Velasco of De La Salle has six consecutive games rushing for more than 100 yards. The Spartans have won 40 consecutive games. The pick: St. John Bosco.

Division II

West Hills Chaminade (13-2) vs. Redding Enterprise (13-0), 4 p.m. (Time Warner Cable Channel 101): The ability to run or pass gives Chaminade a slight edge. Quarterback Brad Kaaya, a Miami commit, is adept at taking what the defense gives him, and he has the options of top receivers in Brayden Lenius and Dymond Lee and top running backs in Donovan Lee and Cory Watkins. Enterprise has size and a powerful running back in Isaiah Matthews, who has rushed for 2,038 yards and 27 touchdowns. The pick: Chaminade

Division III

Newport Beach Corona del Mar (15-0) vs. Atherton Sacred Heart (13-1), noon (TWC SportsNet): Corona del Mar has a 25-game win streak, plays great special teams and quarterback Luke Napolitano has been effective running and passing during the postseason. Junior running back Cole Martin has gained 1,718 yards rushing. Sacred Heart uses the run-oriented fly sweep offense. The pick: Corona del Mar.
