Corona del Mar vs. MD
Mira Costa vs. Buena
Saturday’s 5-8 games:
Dos Pueblos vs. San Marcos
Carlsbad vs. San Clemente
Semifinal games:
CdM 14, MD 9

Buena 17, MD 15
This is the third year in a row that Corona del Mar has won the Santa Barbara Invitational. They have now beaten three different opponents in the finals: Bellarmine in 2023, Mater Dei in 2024 and Mira Costa in 2025.
Final results
1st - CDM
2nd - Mira Costa
3rd - Buena
4th - Mater Dei
5th - Carlsbad
6th - Dos Pueblos
7th - San Marcos
8th - San Clemente
9th - Laguna Beach
10th - Westlake
Pretty good job on the predictions.
Buena is proving that their open division invite from last season wasn’t due to the schedule / Massey ratings.
