Press-Telegram Softball Top 10

1. San Pedro ... Area's No. 1 team is into the LA City semifinals.
2. Los Alamitos ... Should get to quarterfinals in very tough Division I, but anything more is gravy.
3. St. Joseph ...  The No. 4 seed in Division IV has the ability to go all the way.
4. La Mirada ... If the Matadores can hit the ball, they will be a hard team to beat in Division II.
5. Lakewood ... Moore League champs have shown to be very good and not so good. Which team will show up in Division II postseason?
6. Carson ... Eliminated in LA City quarterfinal, extra-inning heartbreaker.
7. Mayfair ... If Monsoons can get past first round, Lakewood awaits in second round and that doesn't bode well.
8. Wilson ... See La Mirada.
9. Norwalk ... Not sure the Lancers can hold up for more than a round or two in Division II.
10. Warren ... Even though Bears won SGVL, not sure they were the best team.


And a few questions:

With the Moore League as week as it is, how will that hurt Lakewood's and Wilson's chances to go deep in the playoffs?

Which of the Suburban League tri-champs - La Mirada, Norwalk and Mayfair - will last the longest?

Overrated and underrated teams?

How come Warren never gets any credit...? They have a young promising team, they beat a good Downey team twice, Only lost one game in league (to paramount) 1-0 game in the bottom of the seventh, Is the only team in the SGVL to advance in the playoffs! But yet they are not the "best" team in the SGVL.

My belief if they are truly playing like a team, they have alot of good talented players. Doesnt seem like any of them think they are superstars...How about putting more ink for those Warren Bears.

Thanks
