Division III: Vanden (30-3) vs. Bishop O'Dowd (23-9)[/B]
This is the best section final outside of the Open Division game with college prospects on both sides. Vanden was on the cusp of the Open Division, but now the Vikings have a better shot at winning its first regional title. The Dragons struggled early, but played better in the second half of the year. Asha Thomas (Cal) returned late in the regular season, but Bishop O'Dowd still lost to Miramonte in the section finals
For Vanden, there is a balanced three in scoring with senior Julia Blackshell-Fair. Seniors Chantel Greer and Toni Taylor round out a strong top five.
Along with Thomas, Bishop O'Dowd boasts Myah Pace and junior Aerial Chavarin, who had a big impact in the paint against Miramonte.
The key for Vanden is handling O'Dowd in the paint while O'Dowd will have to match up with the perimeter size of Vanden. The Vikings have been on a roll this postseason and it continues on Saturday. Champion: Vanden
