The City Section has reached agreement to hold its Championship Division final at the Coliseum on Saturday afternoon, Dec. 13 at 1 p.m. The City Invitational final will be held on Friday, Dec. 12 at 7 p.m. at East Los Angeles College.

Credit City Councilman Tom LaBonge for the save of the year. The City Section had given up on playing at the Coliseum because of financial issues, but LaBonge, an alternate member on the Coliseum Commission, got involved and will provide financial assistance, along with others, through coordination of the Coliseum Commission to make up for the budget deficit, according to City Section Commissioner Barbara Fiege.

It will be the 13th consecutive year the City Championship Division final has been held at the Coliseum.
