With the CIF Playoff pairings set we whittled the Top 20 down to 16. Some of the brackets are questionable but aren’t they every year? Here’s how we rank the playoff teams from 1 to 16<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

1. Monrovia (9-1) \u2013 The Cats didn’t expect Sierra Canyon so early or Paraclete in the same bracket. But really, is there another team better in the Mid-Valley?<\/p>\n

2. Paraclete (6-4) \u2013 Spirits pop the Patriots; rubbing their hands together in anticipation of La Canada’s arrival.<\/p>\n

3. Arroyo (9-1) \u2013 Knights right where they want to be. They get at large BP first.<\/p>\n

4. San Dimas (6-4) \u2013 Saints complete impressive Valle Vista run. Scored over 40 points in every league game.<\/p>\n

5. San Marino (8-2) \u2013 Mauled by Monrovia but Titans will take first round matchup with BG.<\/p>\n

6. Viewpoint (8-2) \u2013 Pats-Spartans good first round battle.<\/p>\n

7. Sierra Canyon (5-5) \u2013 Trailblazers not what they were last year. And they’ll pay for it with a trip to M-Town.<\/p>\n

8. Pomona (9-1) \u2013 Red Devils\u00a0torched by Saints\u00a0but\u00a0they’ll welcome\u00a0Rosemead\u00a0with open arms.<\/p>\n

9. Rosemead (8-2) \u2013 Panthers battled Arroyo to the end; tough out in playoffs.<\/p>\n

10. Northview (8-2) \u2013 Eight win season and a playoff spot has Marcel Perez smiling.<\/p>\n

11. Montebello (7-3) \u2013 Almont champs should match up well with Northview.<\/p>\n

12. Schurr (5-5) \u2013 Hey a second place finish and a shot in the first round? Marco Ramirez isn’t complaining.<\/p>\n

13. Bell Gardens (7-3) \u2013 Not quite what Lancers expected but a win over San Marino would be make all the Almont troubles disappear.<\/p>\n

14. Baldwin Park (7-3) \u2013 What no Monrovia? They’re dancing in the streets of Baldwin Park.<\/p>\n

15. Gabrielino (7-3) \u2013 Eagles happy they’re in; not happy with a ticket to San Dimas.<\/p>\n

16. La Canada (5-5) \u2013 A Trip to Paraclete in song: \u201cFarewell and adieu to you fair Spanish ladies. Farewell and adieu you ladies of Spain. For we’ve received orders to sail back to Lancaster. So never more shall we see you again.\u201d<\/p>\n
