A year after losing in the state finals to Riverside City College in a overtime, Saddleback College redeems itself and defeated City College of San Francisco, 63-57, to win the 2010 California State Championship.
A week prior to winning the title, Saddleback claimed revenge over Riverside after knocking out the defending champions on their own floor to move on to the state finals.
Saddleback never stopped after the upset win over Riverside; they went on to beat No. 1 ranked team from the North, Ohlone College in the first round, No. 2 ranked team from the South, Citrus College before beating San Fancisco in the finals.
Saddleback had one goal in mind after last season's finals' loss and that was come back and win it this time around.
Lead by the state finals' MVP, Perry Webster, Saddleback had control of the game throughout and manage to keep a short lead for all of the game.
The last two men's basketball state titles came from the power house Orange Empire Conference.
