The culmination of the California high school football season reaches its dramatic peak Friday night when the undefeated Bakersfield Christian Eagles (13-0) face the surging St. Mary’s Rams (12-2) for the CIF State Division 2-AA championship at Saddleback College in Mission Viejo.

The Eagles, who narrowly escaped with a 24-21 victory over La Habra in last week’s regional finals, look to complete their perfect season against a dangerous Rams squad riding a nine-game winning streak after their impressive 31-24 triumph over Junipero Serra.

This compelling matchup features Bakersfield Christian seeking to improve upon last year’s state semifinal appearance against a St. Mary’s program looking to add another championship trophy to its storied history.

Opening kickoff is set for 4 p.m. PT on Friday, December 12 with a live TV broadcast on NFHS Network.
