Most of the heavy lifiting has been done by all of the teams in the top ten with the exception of Sierra Canyon and Paraclete. They have one of their biggest challenges of the year when they face each other Friday night. Eyes of the Mid Valley Division should be on the contest as the winner will be the odds on favorite to win it all. The rest of the top ten have games where they can get an early lead and rest some starters.

1. Sierra Canyon (9-0) Dipatched of Viewpoint setting up the battle for all the Ocean League glory vs. Paraclete Friday.

2. Northview (8-1) Only Rowland left to finish 9-1.

3. Paraclete (6-3) Got zero resistance from McAuliffe and now on to Sierra Canyon.

4. Rosemead (5-4) The Panthers are on a roll winning five straight in the Mission Valley.

5. San Dimas (5-3) The Saints are preparing for their living bye this week with Wilson.

6. Pomona (5-4) With only Bassett left on the schedule, the Miramonte belongs to the Red Devils.

7. Covina (5-4) Lost two in a row but to two Mid Valley Division contenders.

8. Azusa (6-3) The Aztecs are now winners of back-to-back Montview League titles.

9. Montebello (5-4) Beat Bell Gardens to move into the top ten.

10. El Monte (5-4) Locked up a second place finish in the Mission Valley and getting healthy as the post season draws near.

In the mix: La Puente (6-3), Baldwin Park (5-4), Bell Gardens (3-6), Brentwood (7-2), Viewpoint (7-2)
