It’s a top-of-the-rankings meeting for the Northern California Premier final.
The #1-ranked HS Club Granite Bay takes on the #2-ranked school team De La Salle. These teams have not met yet and have not lost yet. We looked at their common opponents and compared results (if a team played someone twice we took the best result). With those five common opponents Granite Bay allowed fewer points than De La Salle three times and outscored De La Salle once. DLS had better points for twice and better points against twice. Two times GB and DLS had the same points for.
The upshot? There’s very little difference between the two.
Last week’s win over SFGG, 40-10, was a significant improvement for De La Salle, whose previous result against SFGG was 21-19 just a week before. This was likely because the Spartans had their full backline back for the first time in several weeks.
“They were a a little rusty but continued to find gaps and get past the gainline,” said Head Coach Derek Holmberg.
