Jose Matos and Montebello finished third in Almont; looking ahead to playoffs

Bishop Amat stumbled against St. Paul last week but is still number one in final poll. The Glendora pitching staff looks unhittable and Arcadia wrapped up a perfect run in the Pacific. Alhambra is peaking at the right time while Rio Hondo champ Monrovia should make some noise in CIF. Expect Bonita to make a deep playoff run. If you have any rants, raves or diamond scoop e mail Tim at tspeterson32@yahoo.com. Or just post a message.
