Saturday night will be one that Corona del Mar fans, football players and coaches will remember for a long time.
It was the night that CdM defeated Serra 35-27 at Cerritos College to win the 1A state title, capping the CIF Division 3 crown the Sea Kings won two weeks earlier on their way to a 16-0 season.
We’ve put together the top photos from Saturday’s game along with some added celebration shots in a special and final edition (for this season) of our top photos. Also, you can find the story links below from our extended coverage.
