LJ FB: CIF possibility

By Ed Piper, Jr.

Following Patrick Henry's 34-0 shellacking of Serra Fri., Nov. 4, the Patriots and La Jolla hold identical 42.40 values in the CIF San Diego Section Power Rankings.

At this writing, La Jolla is placed eighth, Patrick Henry ninth among the 16 teams in Division 3. However, the Vikings dropped their face-to-face matchup with Henry when the two teams met in City League play, so this would seem to dictate the Pats get to host any first-round playoff game between them.

Stay tuned for the official CIF pairings, which will be finalized Saturday morning and published by the early afternoon on the CIF SDS website. Game times are 7 p.m. on Nov. 11.

By the way, Henry's win over the Q's grants the San Carlos campus the City League championship outright. La Jolla finishes 3-1 in league play, behind the Pats' spotless 4-0 record, including a decisive win over University City two weeks ago.

On a night on which the Lakers, without a single all-star, upset the top-ranked Golden State Warriors and stopped Steph Curry's streak of 157 straight games with a three-pointer, anything could happen. Maybe a first-round home game for the Vikings?
