Our top 16 isn\u2019t necessarily the same as the CIF top 16. There are some changes from what CIF-SS ranks, but not much.<\/p>\n

1. West Covina (9-1) \u2013 Bulldogs have been clicking since Week One. If not for the mental lapse against Covina, West Covina could be the only undefeated team in the area.<\/p>\n

2. La Serna (9-1) \u2013 Took care of business without looking ahead against California. Very difficult team to defend against.<\/p>\n

3. Bonita (9-1) \u2013 Bearcats win at home against Diamond Ranch for the first time in that brief series history.<\/p>\n

4. La Mirada (6-4) \u2013 Matadores schedule may have come back to haunt them as they now take on dangerous Muir team.<\/p>\n

5. Arcadia (7-3) \u2013 Talented but undersized Apaches get rewarded with a first-round game against super-sized offensive line Norwalk and Elijhaa Penny.<\/p>\n

6. Muir (6-4) \u2013 Most coaches that we spoke with on Sunday state this is the team they did not want to face heading to the playoffs.<\/p>\n

7. Burroughs (6-4) \u2013 Shouldn\u2019t have any problems with at-large El Rancho, especially with Lucas Yanez playing as well as he has.<\/p>\n

8. Diamond Ranch (5-5) \u2013 Key to Panthers season hinges on Chase Price\u2019s health. If healthy many defenses will have to contend with his physical running style.<\/p>\n

9. Burbank (7-3) \u2013 Loss to Indians can\u2019t be sitting well with head coach Hector Valencia. Luckily, they can make everything right with win against Santa Fe.<\/p>\n

10. Norwalk (6-4) \u2013 Lancers get a favorable draw against Arcadia. But can defense hold off high-powered offense of the Apaches?<\/p>\n

11. Walnut (6-4) \u2013 Mustangs have turned things around the last three weeks and become a very tough team to defend against.<\/p>\n

12. Mayfair (6-4) \u2013 Monsoons have had a week to get ready for first round opponent.<\/p>\n

13. Santa Fe (6-4) \u2013 Get a re-match of the 2008 playoff gone wrong with Burbank. Chiefs will need to play near-perfect defense to win.<\/p>\n

14. California (3-7) \u2013 Condors get to play another week against another explosive offense.<\/p>\n

15. El Rancho (6-4) \u2013 Dons will need to have the game of its life if they want to get by Burroughs.<\/p>\n

16. Bellflower (5-5) \u2013 Coin-tossed its way into the playoffs and the reward is West Covina.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
