2013 CIF, State, National Champions
In the final hours of a grueling 16-game season, with everything from an unbeaten season to a state title and even a possible national championship at stake, the 2013 St. John Bosco Braves had to dig deeper than it had all season.
What emerged was a dynamic all-around performance that showed off just what a deep and talented team the Braves were in 2013.
The Braves’ 20-14 victory over perennial power De La Salle of Concord late Saturday at StubHub Center gave them a 16-0 record (the best-ever in state history), the first Open Division California State Championship title in their history and a #1 national ranking by Max Preps, USA Today and Cal Preps.
