They look at the champion of the Oxford Academy League and second place Cerritos High, which went 14-13, 7-3 after being swept by the Patriots the last week of the season. This is the first time since 2018, donations have not had a piece of the Crown of League 605.

Cerritos knows nothing to finish elsewhere than the first place in Ligue 605, because all that the donations have done is the title of the league after the title of the League.

The matadores lost consecutive matches after winning four consecutive games to start the season and a few games later, won a sequence of 15 consecutive victories and half of their defeats came to Orange Lutheran.
