Northern California title games
Open Division
Rematch of Sac-Joaquin Section final, a controversial 69-68 win for Woodcreek on a pair of last-second free throws from 6-11 junior Jordan Brown (26.3 points, 15.8 rebounds per game).
No. 9 Palo Alto (26-4) at Santa Clara University, 4 p.m.:
Matchup of a reborn East Bay power and a Palo Alto team that has played on the road two straight seasons due to its gym renovation.
No. 3 Moreau Catholic-Hayward (24-9) at No. 1 St. Francis-Mountain View (21-9), 6 p.m.:
The game features three Metro Player of the Year contenders:
Moreau’s Damari Milstead and Kyree Walker and St. Francis’ Logan Johnson, all guards.
Vanden matches Mission’s quickness, but also boasts more length down low with four players 6-foot-5 or taller.
Vincent-Vallejo (27-8) at No. 1 Palma-Salinas (25-4), 6 p.m.: SPSV is trying to win football and basketball state titles in a span of four months.
Length with Lauren Walker (6-5) and Hailey Vice-Neat (6-3) plus perhaps state Coach of the Year Monica Mertle give Newman hope against nation’s No. 5 team, which goes after its 12th NorCal title.
No. 4 Oak Ridge-El Dorado Hills (23-10) at Santa Clara University, 2 p.m.: A rematch of a section Division 1 semifinal, a 62-54 McClatchy victory.
Miramonte, led by 5-5 junior Clair Steel and 5-11 senior Ele Louie, averages 68.8 points per game and allows 39.1.
Vanden, led by 5-10 senior Julia Blackshell-Fair (16.0 ppg, 9.9 rebounds), averages 68.8 and allows 39.8.
Rematch of an early season Cardinal Newman Tournament semifinal, won 76-65 by Campolindo.
Led by 5-9 freshman Malia Mastora (14.5 ppg), St. Joseph goes after its first NorCal title after two previous finals losses.
