First week of league games are all under the belt.
Big Saturday ended being all it was “hyped” up to be with Bonita and Bishop Amat separated by two points at the end. Lancers by virtue of its win will be the new #1 team.
It doesn’t get easier for the Bearcats who will look to end Diamond Ranch’s domination in league play.
In the strange Pacific League, Muir suffered another upset over Arcadia and Burroughs is leading the way.
