We are now left with two weeks of regular season football before the playoffs start. The jockeying begins for seeds and league standings.

The Titans got up close and personal with how good La Serna is on offense and defense on Friday.

El Rancho dropped a crucial game against California and now faces a must-win against Santa Fe.

Santa Fe needed a comeback to beat winless Whittier. A win against the Dons will get them one step closer to the playoffs.

We still think the three entering last week as the top three get in.

DEL RIO LEAGUE

La Serna (7-1, 3-0) – By the time the playoffs roll around there may be no room on the bandwagon for the Lancers. They made easy work of Pioneer with the second-string in the game the second half.

Signature Wins: Wilson-Long Beach (Pac-5) 5-3, La Mirada (Southeast) 5-3

Games Remaining:  11/05 vs Whittier, 11/11 @ California (2-14 record remaining opponents)

El Rancho (5-3, 1-2) – Something not funny happened on the Dons way to the playoffs. El Rancho faltered against California and now must begin the playoffs this week against Santa Fe.

Santa Fe (4-4, 2-1) – Well last week could have been the nail in the coffin for the Chiefs who were down 18-7 at one point to Whittier. Santa Fe should some heart and battled back for the win and now is set to play El Rancho this week.
