Season Complete. Florida Class 5A state champion.
School Facts: Public, 4,400 students, grades 9-12.
NOTES: David Corredor scored an early goal and it was enough to carry Cypress Bay to a 1-0 victory over Lakewood Ranch in the state final. Keeper Sebastian Deckers finished with five saves. The title marked the fifth in the past seven seasons for Cypress Bay, but this one was a more emotional victory for the Lightning, who had dedicated the season to a former teammate who died in a skateboarding accident in September. |

Grand Prairie
Grand Prairie, TX
|

| Grand Prairie gets a chance to avenge its only defeat when it faces league rival Duncanville this week. Even if Grand Prairie wins the rematch it would need some help to catch Duncanville, who is four points clear with two matches remaining. |

El Toro
Lake Forest, CA
|
14-10-0
|
| Without a doubt, El Toro's run through the CIF Southern Section Division 1 tournament is the story of the postseason so far this year. The Chargers were their league champion, but a 4-8 season start, which included a lopsided loss to Servite, made this team a complete underdog. El Toro ran with that label, knocking off three then Top 15 nationally ranked teams in a five-game playoff run that flipped the team's record above the .500 mark. In the final, El Toro edged Redlands East Valley on PKs following a 1-1 match. The Chargers are the No. 4 seed in the CIF Southern California Regional Division 1 tournament this week, and faces Coronado in the quarterfinals. |
