Palomares League boasts top-notch baseball

When it comes to high school sports in the Inland Valley, the Baseline gets the most attention. And rightfully so.

Not only is the champion of that league likely to make a pretty significant impact in the playoffs, so are the teams that finish second or third.

The biggest example of that is boys basketball where Damien, Etiwanda and Chino Hills all made deep playoff runs with Damien and Chino Hills also getting to STATE championship finals.

But when it comes to baseball, the Palomares League is better, at least this season. It’s a new league this season and it has an interesting mix of teams. You have two reigning league champions from last year in Glendora (Baseline) and Bonita (Hacienda).

And you have two teams that were second to those in Diamond Bar, which was just behind Bonita and South Hills, which finished a nudge behind Chino Hills in the Sierra.

Then there are Ayala and Claremont.

At one point this season four teams from the league were ranked in the CIF Division 2 poll. Bonita and Ayala faltered last week so South Hills (4) and Glendora (6) are the ones still holding strong in the latest poll released Monday.

South Hills went into first place today wit ha 4-2 win over Ayala. Both coaches Darren Murphy of South Hill and Chris Vogt of Ayala talked about how tough the league is and how at least one good team will be left out when it comes to the playoffs.

This year there are no at-large bids to a fourth-place finisher so it will be the top three advancing. Right now its Bonita the odd team out but there is a long way to go. There are sure to be some hard-fought, intense games the rest of the way.

Here’s what the coaches had to say after Wednesday’s game:
