In Sunday's sectional final played at Bob Henry Park in Newport Beach, a win would advance them through to the following week's regional tournament. A loss would mean the end of their season.

Before they went their separate ways, Puga scheduled a meeting with Meyer for December. "I expect to see you guys in the finals again," Meyer said Puga told him. That time has come as the Sea Kings square off against the Argonauts in the CIF Southern Section Southern Division finale for the second straight season.
