Video: Not Top 5 Plays of the Year See these plays that made didn't quite go as planned.
The season is over. Section champions have been crowned across Northern California.
The Bay Area stood tallest in these final rankings, especially the West Catholic Athletic League with No. 1 Valley Christian, No. 3 Serra, No. 4 Saint Francis, No. 5 Mitty and No. 6 Bellarmine.
There are no Northern California playoffs, a shame as those would surely create some terrific matchups. The section seasons simply go too long.
