This year, all CIF-Southern Section football semifinals are scheduled for Friday (Dec. 2). The CIF-Southern Section football coaches advisory committee requested that all semis be played on Friday, so that teams that advance to the finals would have equal preparation time for the finals.

Here is what we have this morning about semifinals sites, etc.

Pac-5 Division

Santa Margarita (10-2) vs. Mission Viejo (10-2). Missions home game. This one is likely to stay at Mission Viejo High.

If you thought that Barnes was taking a big gamble by moving the Titans game against Servite from Tesoros on-campus stadium to OCC, raise your hand (yes, my hand is raised).

Ryan Kleinschmidt scored two touchdowns to lead Bishop Chatard  High School to a 21-7 victory over South Bend St. Joseph’s in the Class 3A state football championship on Saturday at Lucas Oil Stadium.

Kleinschmidt scored on runs of 45 and 8 yards in the first half as the Trojans grabbed a 21-0. “We came ready to play,” Kleinschmidt said.

“The offensive line did a great job, said Kleinschmidt, who finished with 136 rushing yards on 28 carries. We executed in the first half and that helped us to come out early and get on top. They were a tough team.”

It was Chatard’s (13-2) second consecutive state title. The Trojans have the most state titles with 11.

“This is sweeter because it’s senior year,” Kleinschmidt said. “It’s great to have everyone come together and we all finished out our senior year.

School buses at Coney Island in 2008.

A conflict over civil-service protections for school bus drivers has the city warning principals and parents that there is a strong possibility of an immediate system-wide school bus strike.

In letters to principals and parents, the city says it considers the strike illegal and is asking the National Labor Relations Board, which adjudicates conflict between employers and employees, to seek a court injunction to stop it. A strike would affect 152,000 of the citys 1.1 million students, according to the city.

The union is set to hold a general assembly meeting Nov. 22, according to its website. It did not immediately respond to requests for comment.

The citys letters do not specify what is meant by immediate. But they outline a robust set of contingency plans that leave little up in the air.

In the event of a strike, students who currently receive school bus service would get Metrocards to allow them to travel to school.

It’s finally here.

The day that many of Lone Peak’s football players have dreamed about since they were little boys has arrived – the day they get to play for the state championship.

The logistical facts of the game are straightforward enough. The Knights (13-0) take on Fremont (10-2) for the 5A title at 2:30 p.m. at Rice-Eccles Stadium.

However, such a recitation leaves out everything that gives the event context and meaning for those who are going to play in it, no matter which uniform they wear.

Consider these facts.

• Lone Peak has been to the playoffs 13 out of 15 years since the school opened. This is the third time the Knights have reached the finals, but they’ve yet to claim a gold trophy.

• The Silver Wolves knocked them out of contention last year with a 20-14 semifinal victory. This is also the third trip to the title game for Fremont, and they haven’t won it yet either.

• Lone Peak averaged about two touchdowns more per game than the Silver Wolves this season, but Fremont gave up five points less per game defensively.

In short, this duel is shaping up to be a dandy between two sets of young men who have the same dreams and a similar sense of comradeship with their teammates.

“It should be a great matchup,” said Knight coach Tony McGeary. “We’r
