After going 0-5 in conference play for two seasons in a row, the Lions are now the third place team in the Trinity League. They rolled to a 21-7 win against Orange Lutheran on Friday to force a three-way tie for third with OLu and Santa Margarita, and then won the coin flip to claim third. As a result, all three teams have made the Division 1 playoffs, which goes out to 10 teams this year.

JSerra will rematch Santa Margarita, which defeated it by one point less than a month ago, and the winner will play Mater Dei in the quarterfinals.
