JPWest Media Game of the Week — Bravo League Championship: #11 Corona Del Mar @ #15 Yorba Linda
The Bravo League title comes down to Thursday night in Yorba Linda, where #11 Corona Del Mar and #15 Yorba Linda face off in one of the most anticipated matchups of the regular season.
The Sea Kings have been red-hot down the stretch, entering at 9-0 behind an explosive offense that’s averaging more than 35 points per game. Meanwhile, the Mustangs have quietly built one of the section’s most balanced teams, combining a disciplined ground attack with a defense that’s allowed just 12 points per game over the last month.
With playoff seeding and the league crown on the line, expect a physical, chess-match-style battle in front of a packed Yorba Linda crowd Thursday night.
