Outlook: Saint Francis lost in the Central Coast Section finals to Oak Grove (San Jose), but the CCS allows for runners-up to qualify for the regional bowl games. The Lancers made the most of that rule by defeating Pleasant Valley (Chico) in the semifinals. Saint Francis meets a Citrus Hill team that has been a bit of a sleeper this year, first behind defending state champion Redlands East Valley in the Inland Valley Division and then by blowing out Calabasas in the regional playoffs. Citrus Hill has one of the state's top rushers in Devin Floyd leading the way.
