Hacienda League at a Glance

By Tim Peterson The Hacienda League may be the most competitive league in the area. There is no clear cut favorite and nearly every team has a shot. We have Covina finishing first and Los Altos fifth but that could easily be reversed. Diamond Bar second and South Hills fourth? Okay but both teams could […]

Sierra League at a Glance

By Tim Peterson Bonita not only won the Serra League but the Bearcats won their first 11 games before falling in the playoffs to Edison. Charter Oak took second and Glendora finished third. Colony had to forfeit games due to sanctions and ended up 0-10 on paper, but is ready to go this year. Claremont […]

Chargers Get Second Preseason Win

Pacific League at a Glance

By Tim Peterson Muir ran the table last year and looks ready to repeat. Burbank’s only league loss last year was to Muir and the Bulldogs are looking to get over that hump. There may be a battle for third between Crescenta Valley, Burroughs and Pasadena. Arcadia is trying to find a way to jump […]

Rio Hondo League at a Glance

By Tim Peterson South Pasadena won the league last year going 5-0. La Canada and Monrovia were in the mix throughout the season until the Tigers emerged as champs. All three will be right in the hunt again. Here’s a look at the Rio Hondo.

Del Rio League at a Glance

By Tim Peterson La Serna is the king of the Del Rio. Everybody else is trying to knock them off the throne. El Rancho has a shot and has had a great summer while Santa Fe, who has gotten back into the hunt the last couple of years, is looking to unseat the Lancers as […]

Valle Vista League at a Glance

By Tim Peterson Northview looks like the favorite again. The Vikings have been dominant in the Valle Vista the last few years and this season should be no different. Northview has some key returning players and some newcomers as well. They have also upgraded their schedule.

Gold Coast League at a Glance

By Tim Peterson Rio Hondo Prep is going to be tough to unseat in the Gold Coast. The Kares are coming off of back-to-back CIF titles and have several players returning. They moved up in Divisions last year from 9 to 7 and still won the championship.

Almont League at a Glance

By Tim Peterson This looks like it’s Schurr’s league to lose. With a new head coach and a freshman quarterback the Spartans have had a nice summer. Bell Gardens, San Gabriel and Montebello can all compete but unless one of them can jump up and bite Schurr they will all be competing for second place.
