los al is not even the best in there own division
norwalk beat mayfair.
and the moore league is the weakest league period
besides the marine league
No doubt that Norwalk is playing well; its record is superb. But it's hard to overlook that beating the Lancers took against Wilson (of that "weak" Moore League) about a month ago.
suburban league is weak also, heck millikan beat mayfair and there horrible this year. the moore league is far weaker this year than last 3 years and will be at its weakest ever next year.
Well i think the press telegram writes too much about Norwalk, have you seen who they have played
Artesia (1-8)record played twice
Katella (1-9)record
valley christian (6-11-1)record
Firebaugh (?)who knows
st.mathiass (7-11) record
Bellflower (2-13)record played twice
st.monica (9-9)record
glenn (1-10)record played twice
cerritos (1-13)record played twice
artesia (1-8)record played twice
total 28 wins all these teams combined
actually ^^^ youve got it twisted. mayfair BEAT millikan 5-0 in game one and then 15-3 in game two. and the only reason norwalk beat mayfair the first game is because the lady soons did not play to their full potential. get your facts straight.
I was talking about the beating Wilson gave Norwalk. And apparently beating Millikan this year is nothing to brag about. As for Mayfair-Norwalk games, they split; the scoreboard doesn't lie. However, it is my opinion that Mayfair might be the best team if all three of the Suburban League contenders play to their full potentional. However, for now, La Mirada gets the nod in the poll because of better record.
All Leagues have 3 good teams and 3 also rans
proof is in the pudding the Suburban League
has produced 5 cif finalist and 2 cif champs in the last 18 years thats La Mirada
Mayfair has also been very competive in CIf over the years
Norwalk can play with anyone
to all of you. Mayfair is the best out there! La Mirada and Norwalk are going down.
