OK, I admit being a skeptic about why anyone should be excited with Encino Crespi and Mission Hills Alemany playing for a Southern Section Division 4A championship when they weren’t exactly at the top of their own league this season.
But the enthusiasm of their fans made me change my mind. Alemany’s 18 rooter buses helped me understand that it doesn’t matter if it isn’t the top division. It’s for a title, and both schools wanted to win badly.
Crespi won, 50-43, at Mater Dei, and what a crowd.
