By Will Reisman •

The two remaining San Mateo County football teams will take on some formidable foes this Saturday in their State Championship Bowl Games.

Serra, which started the season 0-4 before reeling off 10 consecutive wins, will face undefeated Sierra Canyon (15-0) in the Division 2-A championship tilt. That game will take place at Sacramento State’s Hornet Stadium.

Menlo-Atherton, winners of 12 straight, will take on Paraclete High School at Antelope Valley College in the Division 3-AA title game.

Serra qualified for the state bowl game by defeating Sanger High School in the Division 2-A NorCal Bowl Game. M-A overcame Manteca in the 3-AA NorCal Bowl Game.
