Menlo-Atherton football coach Adhir Ravipati has tried to stay Zen about it all.
His Bears (11-2) won the Central Coast Section Open Division 1 championship with Friday’s 33-28 win against top-seed and previously unbeaten Wilcox-Santa Clara, fighting back from a 21-0 deficit.
“I couldn’t be more proud of our guys,” Ravipati said Monday. “To shut that team out the second half while we finally found our gear offensively says a lot about our kids.”
So, naturally, there’s a payoff for that win, right?
Not quite.
The Bears will spend most of Friday traveling — more than 300 miles north — to play Eureka (12-0) for the Northern California 3-AA championship. Meanwhile, Wilcox hosts Capital Christian-Sacramento in the 3-A title game.
