You gotta love one underdog. But two? Even better.

When the postseason began, unseeded St. Paul and third-seeded Palmdale were not the popular picks to nab the Western Division’s football championship.

Nope, be smart -- go with either Culver City or Dominguez, last season’s finalists.

But we know what’s happened now: It’s the Swordsmen (9-4) vs. the Falcons (12-1). Underdog vs. underdog. And, as St. Paul Coach Pete Gonzalez said, ‘We kind of like it that way.’

And so do we.

Check out the final Friday night at St. Paul High. I’ll be there.
