Get ready for public-school supporters to start believing that the sign of the apocalypse arrived Sunday, when for the first time in the 5-year history of the CIF state championship bowl games, two Catholic schools were chosen to play in the premier bowl game.
It will be Anaheim Servite (14-0) facing Concord De La Salle (13-0) on Saturday night in the Open Division championship at the Home Depot Center in Carson.
If you thought public-school coaches had insecurities before, just think about their sleepless nights ahead after watching these two big-time programs with unlimited attendance boundaries being featured on live statewide television in front of a large and vocal fan base.
Yes, there's reason to be concerned, but stop the panic mode. Just take a look at the Southern California representative for the Division I bowl game, Corona Centennial (14-0), which will face Palo Alto (13-0) on Friday night at the Home Depot Center.
Servite and De La Salle should be grateful they don't have to play the best team in the state, which I believe is Centennial. The Huskies are going to put on a show and expose what everyone knows is a flaw in the CIF state championship bowl system
