A lot of back and forth until a Jerry Mixon Pick 6 put it away. Final is 48-29 Irish..
Irish with a SACK. Then another sack.
SACRED HEART IS 4-A STATE CHAMPIONS.
(Yes, read that again).

GO IRISH!

Also, San Marin, SH Prep, Balboa and CCSF all won today.

Tremendous. Just an unbelievable feat. SH..... FOOTBALL.... STATE CHAMPS.... Congrats Irish for unthinkable achievement.....

What a game! Ray-John Spears with count em' SIX touchdown passes (3 to Miller, 2 to Upressa, 1 to Keishk. Irish rack up Im going to approximate around 200 yards in penalty yards. Refs did everything to beat SH and SH still won going away.

They were favored in every game including the bowl game tonight.
 
Actually no the Irish were actually underdogs tonight. LA Times and even Calpreps had Northview winning 28-10 in both projections for the game tonight
Sacred Heart Cathedral (San Francisco, CA) 48 Northview (Covina, CA) 29 [projection: Sacred Heart Cathedral (San Francisco, CA) 27-14]

It's the old "10-yard Penalty". If Sacred Heart gains 10 yards, it's a penalty.

Irish played at home and easily had a tougher schedule this season. Northview played one team that was ranked higher than 100. Just from that they should be favored.

Congrats. I give it about a week before the crazies want Coach McLaughlin fired.
LOL. This championship you would think theoretically should give him amnesty from any and all future scorn from those pundits. He can have a 0-10 season and those particular crazies* that call for his head should kiss his butt. Those same particular crazies* are the same ones that ruined another of our legends Darrell Barbour, state championship coach.

Can someone clarify a stat for me from yesterday. I tallied Spears with 6 TD passes. SJ Merc credits him going 15-for-22 for 300 yards and 5 TDs. The 1st TD scored by Upressa, they categorized as a run for TD? If I'm not mistaken, when a WR goes in motion and receives short shuffle pass in front of QB directly after snap that is considered a forward pass and not a handoff??

Barbour was working for SHC, I don't know why they got rid of him....he was however, never a gem like Barry, a diamond in the rough so to speak. Getting anyone to coach football at this school was either going to be alumni or city based.

It was parents that drove Barbour out just like they did with both Harrigan and Carey o. The girls' side
 
Watched it again. Definitely a hand-off.
Thanks, I saw the replay highlights. It was a handoff. 5 TDs in a state championship game still pretty remarkable.

This one is the school's top 3 state championship game performances.
1. RayJohn Spears: 15-22, 300 yards, 5 TDs (2021)
2. Iimar'i Thomas: 30 pt, 15 reb (2016)
3. Kevin Greene: 9 pt, 20 reb (2009)
