    El Rancho was penciled in to be the top seed in d11. The fact that they let cheating schools in like San Juan Hills and 2-8 Upland High team in is a crime. Somebody’s getting paid. Cheating pays in CIF High School football.

    El Rancho got a tough draw, that Pacifica team is solid not sure how they managed to be as low as D10.

    Starting at the top, Santa Margarita at Sierra Canyon is going to be GREAT. In D2, I don’t understand how a 1-9 San Juan Hills is pitted against a 9-1 team (Downey). Skipping to D4, Muir at Charter Oak is going to be massive. The three area matchups in D5 are great, and it will be even better if Lakewood eliminates La Serna on night one. In D6, I think we can all agree that we want Los Altos to beat Upland and make round two…but this is a tough one. D7 looks just right for a quick Schurr exit versus Saugus, while I’m pulling for Rowland to roll San Dimas in D9

    El Rancho may be stopped in the first round versus Pacifica of Garden Grove, while Montebello will DEFINITELY have a somber ride home after being trounced by Rancho Alamitos. Last, and most positively least, we have South El Monte, Alhambra and Pioneer all treading water to stay afloat in the pool of sewage that is D14.
