El Rancho
Bell Gardens
El Monte
Alliance:
San Gabriel

Rio Pacific:
Arroyo:
Muir
Burbank

South Pasadena
Crescenta Valley
Burroughs
San Marino
Gabrielino
Pasadena (if they can field a team I could see a potential 0-10 season)
Crest:
Arcadia
Glendale
Temple City
Hoover
Don’t know enough about the other two leagues…but give me these for final standings:
Metro:
Schurr
El Rancho
El Monte
Bell Gardens
Arroyo League:
Muir
La Canada
Burbank
Monrovia (should be Boulder)
Boulder League:
Crescenta Valley (should be Arroyo)
South Pasadena
San Marino
Burroughs
Pasadena
Gabrielino (should be Crest)
Crest League:
Arcadia (should be Boulder)
Glendale
Hoover
Temple City
If PHS doesn’t have a team – that’d be so bad. Would be four public high schools in Pasadena and just one public high school football team. What a disaster for the schools and the community.
So much school and comminity stuff happens around football – bands, cheer, homecoming, etc. Always bad when schools lose a team.
Arroyo tanking last year was a smart move.easily league champs and playoffs this year! Go knights!
Multiple rumors stating that Pasadena may not be fielding a varsity team this year. Doubtful it’s the truth, but has anyone heard anything? That changes the automatic qualifiers for the boulder league if that’s the case
From T. Peterson: I’ve heard that too but so far nothing is confirmed. But with the season only being a month away and no decision made I think they will field a team.
Some great games here!
Metro: Schurr vs El Rancho
Alliance: SEM vs Montebello
Conference 12: Meh. Arroyo in a landslide
Arroyo: Muir vs Monrovia. Muir in a landslide but it’s a game that’s long overdue.
Boulder: South Pas vs CV
Crest: Hoover vs Glendale but Arcadia in a landslide.
Will you post the Gateway, Mid Cities, Del Rio?
Really looking forward to La Serna vs Downey.
The photo says SEM will compete in the Metro League, but SEM is listed as a member of the ALLIANCE League. Which is correct? Also, how many automatic playoff berths will there be for the 4-team leagues?
From T. Peterson: SEM is in the Alliance League. Playoffs: Two teams will qualify for the playoffs in the Arroyo League, three teams will qualify in the Boulder League and two teams will qualify in the Crest League. In the MAC 12 two teams from each league would qualify.
