If Oak Park is to have a shot against Nordhoff, Justin Green (above) needs to be living in Tanner Workman’s backfield.

The Northwest is a Tri-Valley world and everyone is just living in it. Oak Park gets a shot at the belt this week, but unless they do something substantial nothing is going to make us believe this won’t be another Nordhoff-Bishop Diego main event come December. MVS would like to welcome Duarte to the party.

1.) Nordhoff (6-0): Previous Week: 1: Could they get stung by OP this week? Yes. Will they get stung by OP this week? No.

2.) Bishop Diego (6-0): Prev. Wk.: 2: Can’t horse around with Santa Paula.

3.) Oak Park (6-1): Prev. Wk.: 3: This could be their CIF final against the Rangers.

4.) Carpinteria (6-1): Prev. Wk.: 4: Held its own against Bishop Diego.

5.) La Salle (4-2): Prev. Wk. 6: Okay they’ve got the Del Rey, not its time start thinking about what is next.

9.) Maranatha (5-2): Prev. Wk.: 13: Have they turned a corner? Cannot afford a hiccup against Heritage.

11.) Whittier Christian (3-3): Prev. Wk.: 5: The loss to Valley last week will become a crusher if they fall it with a loss to Village this week.

12.) La Puente (4-2): Prev. Wk.: 7: For the first time since Arroyo, the Warriors are facing a challenge. How will they respond.

13.) Village Christian (2-5): Prev. Wk.: 12: Jesse Hanckel is back, so are the Crusaders. Looking for a big win over the Heralds. A big loss and it’s sayonara for 2013.
