Breakdown: CdM, the top-ranked team in the CIF Southern Section Southern Division poll, looks to claim its first undefeated league title in the program’s history … Two years ago, the Sea Kings finished unbeaten during their Pacific Coast League title run, going 4-0-1 … CdM and rival Beckman played for the league title and Southern Division title last year, the Patriots winning league and the Sea Kings the Southern Division … Beckman, the Southern Division runner-up the past two years, is tied for second place with Northwood, Irvine and Woodbridge … Patriots must win to keep their playoff hopes alive … Since 2010, Beckman is the only team to have beaten CdM in league play.
