Things are looking up for Derrick Johnson and the Cats

San Dimas dropped to number 10 after blowing a big lead against Covina. Colt fans wonder why they haven’t moved up from number four but the top three teams just keep on winning.

It’s the final week of the regular season before the playoff seedings next Sunday. Several teams are on the bubble. Stay tuned.

3. Azusa (9-0): Mid Valley karma? Nah…Aztecs would have rolled anyway.
