Galileo won its 18th San Francisco Section championship Saturday with a surprisingly lopsided 50-28 victory over Academic Athletic Association regular-season champion Mission at Kezar Stadium.
And the emotion created by a 40-36 defeat to the same Bears squad on Oct. 20 helped.
Buoyed by the memory of that loss, Galileo raced to a 38-0 halftime lead behind an assortment of contributors before Mission (8-4), which went 6-0 in AAA play, showed some fight in the second half.
By then the game was over, and the Lions (9-2) became the first AAA squad to reach the CIF Northern California Regional playoffs.
