From L-R: Ellis McCarthy, John Adams and Ryan Teegarden of top ranked Monrovia <\/p><\/div>\n

Things remained status quo at the top of the pack. The top eight teams all won and the ninth \u2013 Maranatha- lost to number 2-Whittier Christian. I\u2019m convinced that Monrovia and Azusa won\u2019t lose the rest of the regular season. Whittier Christian and Covina however still have a couple of hurdles to clear.<\/p>\n
