Bulldogs make a big leap in the Top 20. Photo by Anne Cypress<\/p><\/div>\n

Last week prior to Week Three games, the Mid Valley Sports show talked about buying and selling stock in a team. With that in mind we take a look at the Top 20 differently this week. Do you buy stock in West Covina? Is Diamond Bar for real? Is it time to stop making excuses for La Mirada? Most importantly can Bonita really be this good?<\/p>\n

1. Bonita (4-0) \u2013 Everyone in La Verne believes that the Bearcats can continue their ascent. Podley will have to make a decision on a quarterback after a bye week. (Keep)<\/p>\n

2. West Covina (3-1) \u2013 All defenses know what the Bulldogs will do and still can\u2019t stop them. Week Zero loss was a learning experience. (Buy)<\/p>\n

3. Norwalk (2-2) \u2013 Tough early schedule has benefitted the Lancers confidence heading into the Suburban League. Elijhaa Penny is getting healthy at the right time. (Buy)<\/p>\n

4. Rowland (3-1) \u2013 After averaging 41 points in three wins, put up 21 against Claremont and lost on the road. Can\u2019t get caught looking ahead to October 8. (Sell)<\/p>\n

5. Muir (1-2) \u2013 Bye week came at the best time as Mustangs MASH unit should be down to a triage center with Burbank looming. Two tough losses have them ready for league. (Buy)<\/p>\n

6. Burbank (2-1) \u2013 Good news for Bulldog fans is 30 points per game average. Bad news is the 37 points per game given up by the defense. (Sell)<\/p>\n

7. Diamond Bar (4-0) \u2013 Wins are wins. Especially for a program that had five wins in two previous seasons. Brahmas loving life in the Hacienda. (Keep)<\/p>\n

8. La Serna (3-1) \u2013 Had no business winning against La Mirada, so most pundits said. That is why they play the games and upsets happen. Lancers will be tough in Del Rio. (Buy)<\/p>\n

9. El Rancho (3-1) \u2013 Good bounce back-win against Almont League\u2019s Montebello. Get a week off before facing Fontana. (Keep)<\/p>\n

10. Walnut (2-1) \u2013 Win a thriller and offense finally gets on track by posting 49 points. Next two weeks will tell how good Mustangs really are with West Covina and Diamond Ranch. (Sell)<\/p>\n

11. Crescenta Valley (2-1) \u2013 Good comeback win against defensive La Canada. Marro Lee is making defenses think run first, instead of pass. (Buy)<\/p>\n

12. Arcadia (1-2) \u2013 Was there any question this team could put up some points. Now must get off to a good start in Pacific League play. (Keep)<\/p>\n

13. Diamond Ranch (1-3) \u2013 Finally get a \u201cW\u201d after two heartbreaking losses. Could easily have been 3-1 heading into league if not for growing pains. (Buy)<\/p>\n

14. Santa Fe (1-2) – So much for defense being their strength as Esperanza put up 21 points. Could there be a quarterback controversy brewing in Chief Nation? (Sell)<\/p>\n

15. La Mirada (1-3) \u2013 Shouldn\u2019t have been on the losing end of La Serna game as they were up 11 points late in the game. Must revert back to Championship form. (Sell)<\/p>\n

16. Burroughs (0-3) \u2013 Must have been happy to see a bye week after three tough weeks playing against Santa Clarita teams. Get Hoover to open up league. (Keep)<\/p>\n

17. Mayfair (1-3) \u2013 Dominque Small ran for three scores in Monsoons first win of the year. Suburban League play begins with tough Norwalk. (Sell)<\/p>\n

18. Bellflower (3-1) \u2013 Shocking Buccaneers bounce back with win against Troy. Should be 1-0 in Suburban before facing Norwalk. (Keep)<\/p>\n

19. Pasadena (1-3) \u2013 Bulldogs got well quick with win against undersized La Salle. Could they upset Arcadia for second straight season? (Sell)<\/p>\n

20. Hoover (1-2) \u2013 As we like to say at the Mid, \u201cHoover drives the boat, chief\u201d. Pule and Company are offensively impressive, not so much defensively. (Sell)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
