Having attended a game on Friday night, I didn't become aware of the close games Pittsburg played against St. John Bosco and St. Mary's played against De La Salle until very late in both those contests.
I actually did catch some of the SM-DLS game late Q3, early Q4 while the Rams held a 21-17 lead then caught the very end once it was decided. Conversely I haven't seen any of the SJB-Pitt game as yet, but know that it was only a 7-point game at half and a 14-point game heading into and throughout most of Q4 until the Braves punched in one last TD with under 2 minutes remaining.
Given the Spartans previous 3 games where they dominated Grant Union, Serra-SM, and Saint Francis -- the Rams potential upset bid came as a big surprise to me.
And it should go without saying that Pittsburg playing a relatively close, competitive game against Bosco was also super surprising. They fared much better than Serra-SM did, and really as well as any NorCal team has in several years.
So the question begs, which team had the more impressive performance?
