Not a lot has changed from December of last year. CIF Champion Monrovia has gotten better with Paraclete, San Dimas and Sierra Canyon not far behind. In case you forgot, those were the final four teams from a year ago. Arroyo, which gave Sierra Canyon all it could handle last year in the post season, checks in at number five.<\/p>\n<p><!--more-->1. Monrovia \u2013 Did you expect anybody else?<\/p>\n<p>2. Paraclete- Right now the only team that could give the Wildcats a run.<\/p>\n<p>3. San Dimas \u2013 Loss of Jake Payton just gives other backs a chance to shine.<\/p>\n<p>4. Sierra Canyon- Lost some key players but quarterback Andre Nunez is back.<\/p>\n<p>5. Arroyo- Knights have been impressive in summer.<\/p>\n<p>6. Montebello \u2013 Solid defense led by Jordan Fowlkes.<\/p>\n<p>7. Windward \u2013 The next best thing in the Alpha \u2013 (not named Paraclete or Sierra Canyon).<\/p>\n<p>8. Bell Gardens \u2013 New coach but same tough squad.<\/p>\n<p>9. Northview \u2013 Vikes should have enough for playoff berth in Valle Vista.<\/p>\n<p>10. Rosemead \u2013 Steven Nava makes his debut at quarterback.<\/p>\n<p>11. Brentwood \u2013 The best 7-3 team last year nobody knew about.<\/p>\n<p>12. Schurr \u2013 Sal Chavez does everything except the team laundry.<\/p>\n<p>13. El Monte \u2013 Lions lost some talent, but looking to sustain momentum.<\/p>\n<p>14. Covina \u2013 Colts are young; keep an eye on Pernell Smalley.<\/p>\n<p>15. South El Monte \u2013 Can Eagles crack the top three in the MVL?<\/p>\n<p>16. Temple City \u2013 After Monrovia, Rams should contend in Rio.<\/p>\n<p>17. San Marino \u2013 Titans graduated a boat load but should be fine in Rio Hondo.<\/p>\n<p>18. Gabrielino- We&#8217;re hearing it&#8217;s the Eagles year. We&#8217;ll see.<\/p>\n<p>19. Baldwin Park \u2013 Michael Moran and Bravos will be much improved.<\/p>\n<p>20. South Pasadena \u2013 Tigers keep losing quarterbacks. Can they win enough games?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>You&#8217;ll find the usual suspects at the top of the list.
