LA Valley would follow that up three weeks later with a 78-45 statement win over the Marauders in Valley Glen to pull back even with Antelope in the standings.
Both schools would close out their regular season schedules at home with LA Valley hosting Victor Valley and Antelope Valley hosting third place Glendale College. Each cruised to victory, with the Monarchs beating the Rams by 69 points, and the Marauders knocking off the Vaqueros by 24.
For LA Valley it's the 11th overall title, and first since their back-to-back titles in 2013 and 2014. For Antelope Valley it's their first as a member of the Western State Conference and their first conference title since they won the Foothill Conference Championship back in 2010.
