This is a two-team race, with top seeds Mission Prep and Rio Hondo Prep solid favorites to win it all. Mission Prep, ranked ahead of the Kares, in CIF-SS division poll and the CIF state rankings, have to be tabbed as the one to beat, but although Mission whacked Rio earlier in the season, I like the Kares in the rematch.
