The South Pasadena High School varsity football team enjoyed one of its best seasons in recent memory after defeating rival San Marino, 24-21, for the first time in a decade.
The Tigers also advanced to the CIF-SS Division XIII semifinals, their first such appearance since losing in the CIF championship game in 1976, according to SPHS Athletic Director Anthony Chan.
