Six of the Old School are in the playoffs, only two are expected to advance. A couple of upsets could be brewing that would shock the valley.The last time Temple City and Arcadia missed the playoffs in the same year? 1987, the Apaches went 2-7-1 that year too. The two wins came against TC and M-Town. Old School Mid Valley appears weekly at www.midvalleysports.com

1.) Monrovia (10-0): Best team in the “Old School”? Best team in the Mid-Valley? Tis the season to prove it.

2.) Arroyo (8-2): Knights playing best ball now, don’t know what they are getting in Whittier Christian…Doesn’t matter, Arroyo needs to advance…

3.) San Gabriel (6-4): Fabian Amaro or Arthur Brown, one of them, or both of them, need to step up in the WC. And if they do, and if they do, hello second round…

4.) Alhambra (6-3): Can they catch old Foothill League rival Burbank napping?

5.) Temple City (5-4-1): Time to put on Sinatra and start to cry.

6.) Rosemead (5-5): Ranked sixth, because if we rank them seventh Koffler will be too happy. Can they surprise San Marino? Yes. Will they? MMMmmm?

7.) Arcadia (2-7-1): “Every now and then I get a little bit nervous that the best of all the years have gone by…”

8.) South El Monte (3-7): The Southmen are in the playoffs…What’s the Vulcan farewell? Oh yeah, ‘Live long and prosper’.

9.) Gabrielino (3-7): “It’s plain to see we’re over, I hate when things are over. When so much is left undone.”

10.) El Monte (1-9): Let the Manuel Santa Cruz era begin.

11.) Mt. View (0-10): “There’s Iceland, or the Philippines, or Hastings…or this place!”
