El Cerrito, California (May 22, 2006) -- Concord De La Salle captured the NCGA/CIF High School Championship for the second time, four years after its last title (2002). De La Salle's 377 score in the format that takes the low five of six scores was led by 2004 NCGA Junior Amateur champion Roberto Galleti's 73. The championship was played at the 6,468-yard, par-71 Mira Vista GCC in El Cerrito.

"We've had depth the last few years," said coach and assistant athletic director Leo Lopoz. "And that has allowed us to stay alive in tournaments as a team. Our four, five and six guys have always understood their role. They post a score that puts us in a good position to win." That depth was on display at Mira Vista as all five scores were in the 70s - the only team to do so. Having three seniors, Galleti, Ryan Thomas and Reid Pampe, also helped with team leadership.

De La Salle now heads for the state championship, played at the same venue where the team took runner-up in 2004, Santa Maria CC in Southern California. The state championship will be held June 6.

Perennial contenders Junipero Serra of San Mateo and Monte Vista of Danville finished second and third, two and three strokes back, respectively. Both Junipero Serra and Danville qualified for the state team championship.

The top six individuals not members of the top three teams also advanced to the state championship. Medalist honors went to defending NCGA/CIF champion, senior Joe Bramlett of St. Francis-Mountain View. The 2005 CGA State Amateur runner-up shot a two-under 69 that left him in a tie with sophomore Taylor Travis of American H.S. of Fremont. Bramlett made short work of the playoff, burying a seven-foot putt for eagle on the first playoff hole (Mira Vista's 10th) to claim the title.

"I didn't hit it very well today. The long game is kind of a mystery right now," the champion said. "But my short game was solid. It was encouraging to be able to score well." The 2006 Alameda Commuters runner-up and West Catholic Athletic League champion had four birdies on the day (holes 4, 5, 9 and 10) against two bogeys. Bramlett also qualified for match play in the U.S. Junior in 2005 to go along with the individual NCGA/CIF title he claimed at Valley Hi CC.

Also qualifying for the state tournament was Travis, a qualifier for the 2005 US Public Links championship, Ryan Hallisey of Granite Bay and Daniel Kitayama of Chico (after a playoff for third place), Anthony Machi of Foothill, and Eric Pitcaithley of Foothill in a playoff with two others for the final qualifying spot.
