CIF California State Bowl Championships brackets: Updated pairing, destinations, results and more

One championship matchup is decided, the 14 others will be decided by regional bowl championships

Pittsburg senior Marley Alcantara isn't just nimble on his feet, as shown in last year's CIF Northern California Division 1-AA 28-25 loss at Folsom, but he has a big, accurate arm which had led to a North Coast Section D1 championship.

All the pairings are in. After 58 teams from up and down the 760-mile length of California decided section championships, now they are ready to face off in the CIF State Bowl Championships.

The four team brackets in 14 divisions will be paired to two teams after games Friday and Saturday, Dec. 6-7.

The championships Dec. 13-14 will be played at three different venues — Saddleback College (top divisions), Long Beach City College (medium divisions) and Fullerton Union High School (five smallest).

One championship game has been decided and that is the biggest game, the Open Division will pit De La Salle (12-0) vs. national No. 1 Mater Dei (12-0). That game will be played Dec. 14 at Saddleback College.
