CHAMPIONSHIP HISTORY

Whittier is 2-0 in championship game appearances. The last time the Wildcats played in a title game was in 2014 where they defeated Blackstone Valley 44-8 behind an impressive 222-yard, three-touchdown performance from Jesus Sanchez,

Bay Path will be seeking its third straight bowl title and have an overall record of 4-1 in championship games. The Minutemen held off Blackstone Valley 42-41 last year as Kaiden Brochu ran for 346 yards and finished with four total touchdowns.

DANNY V’S OUTLOOK

Whittier deserves a lot of credit for getting through to the final, beating a pair of CAC teams (Greater Lowell and Northeast) to get to the finals. But this Bay Path team is very explosive with a pair of standout backs in Kaiden Brochu and Bradyn Downes, both of whom have state bowl final game experience.

Pick: Bay Path

CHAMPIONSHIP HISTORY

Blue Hills has experienced plenty of success in this tournament, going 4-1 in five prior trips to the championship. The defending champions handled Tri-County in the final a year ago as Matthew Begin rushed for 151 yards and a pair of scores in a 44-7 victory. Tri-County is seeking its first win in four tries.

DANNY V’S OUTLOOK

This is a rematch of the game played on Oct. 26 where Blue Hills prevailed 24-14. You have to like the way Blue Hills has progressed over the course of the season and I see no reason to expect change here.

Pick: Blue Hills
