The Concord De La Salle Spartans captured the CIF Open Division Championship with an impressive 48-28 victory over the Corona Centennial Huskies at Home Depot Center in Carson Saturday night.

The Spartans got off to a strong start after the Huskies punter mishandled a snap, giving De La Salle great field position. Star running back Tiapepe Vitale punched in a short touchdown run to give the Spartans a 7-0 advantage.

The night was just beginning for Vitale, who scored two more first half touchdowns, including a 46-yard burst, to extend the Spartan lead to 21-0.

The 2012 California high school football season will conclude Friday and Saturday at Home Depot Center in Carson with five championship bowl games. Every team left standing has certainly earned their way.

The primetime matchup this year is the Open Division Championship, featuring the perennial powerhouse Concord De La Salle Spartans and the Corona Centennial Huskies. It will be the rubber match between the two schools as they split bowl contests in 2007 and 2008.
