Woodbridge

IRVINE — The scar tissue that Corona del Mar High collected in Friday's Pacific Coast League overtime win against boys' basketball host Woodbridge, had only marginally to do with the cut near the left eye of Sea Kings senior center Marcus Bradley. The Warriors, in fact, nearly inflicted more than a flesh wound, before CdM was able to prevail and clinch at least a share of its second straight league crown. The Sea Kings (17-7, 8-0 in league), ranked No. 3 in CIF Southern Section Division III-AA, need only one more win, or a loss by second-place University to claim the outright league championship.

It's been more than a week now, but those in and around the Beckman High baseball team are still basking in the glow of a CIF championship. Beckman beat Pacific Coast League rival Woodbridge, 4-1, at Dodger Stadium on June 2 to win the CIF Southern Section Division III title, followed immediately by the obligatory pile of bodies in the middle of the infield. Beckman finished the season at 25-6 overall and 13-2 in league, and ranked 24th in California by Cal-Hi Sports. But what made the season so special for the Patriots was the process, and enduring the day-to-day grind of the season.

IRVINE - You have to go all the way back 22 years for the last time Corona del Mar High stood at 6-1. That same year, in the following football game, the Sea Kings lost.

The top-ranked team in the CIF Southern Section Southern Division survived, coming from behind to beat Woodbridge, 31-30, and remain undefeated in Pacific Coast League play.

GARDEN GROVE - "Chase the ring" is the chant for the Corona del Mar High football team as the players exit their postgame huddle. The Sea Kings are now just a game away from playing for their second straight ring. They withstood an inspired effort from Los Amigos in the first half of Friday night's CIF Southern Section Southern Division quarterfinal playoff game. In the second half, CdM looked like the top-seeded defending champion that it is. The Sea Kings pulled away, blanking the Lobos, 26-0, at Bolsa Grande High.
