I’m not right all the time. But contrary to popular belief I’m not wrong every time either.

Monrovia may well be on its way to a fourth consecutive Mid-Valley championship but CIF isn’t rolling out the red carpet for them to get there. The Wildcats get Sierra Canyon in the first round instead of an at large Baldwin Park or a .500 third place team like La Canada.
