DON'T THINK. IT CAN ONLY HURT THE BALLCLUB

Last week: 7-5
Season: 81-36-1

Here are my first round playoff picks:

INLAND DIVISION
Carter (4-6) at Corona Centennial (9-1)
Still riding high on their 36-point win over Norco, top-seeded Centennial will let Carter hang around for a while. Only a while, though.
Centennial 46, Carter 22

Upland (7-3) at Glendora (8-2)
Glendora got the worst draw in the entire division, a matchup with an Upland team that shared the Baseline League title but was deemed the third-place team via coin flip. It will be evident by the time this one is over that the Tartans have a right to be upset.
Upland 26, Glendora 14

Los Osos (8-2) at Chaparral (7-3)
Chaparral has the experience edge on Los Osos, having been to the title game last season while Los Osos went out in the first round. But Los Osos will add at least one more game to their playoff experience this year.
Los Osos 33, Chaparral 28

Damien (5-4-1) at Miller (9-1)
With a chance for a rematch with REV, Miller wil blow past Damien.
Miller 41, Damien 21

Ayala (7-3) at Norco (8-2)
Ayala's dream season won't end until this one is late in the game as the Bulldogs will hang around longer than expected.
Norco 19, Ayala 12

Corona Santiago (4-6) at Etiwanda (6-4)
Etiwanda's fall from grace began with a 34-10 pasting at the hands of Upland last week. In a reversal of last season when the Eagles were the only Baseline team to win a playoff game, they'll be the only one to lose in the first round.
Santiago 27, Etiwanda 24

CENTRAL DIVISION
Burbank Burroughs (4-6) at Colony (8-2)
This is a more dangerous game for top-seeded Colony than first appears. Burroughs was the No. 1 seed last year and lost in the first round. Colony won't have the same fate, but it'll flirt with disaster.
Colony 21, Burroughs 17

Don Lugo (7-3) at Colton (6-3)
Don Lugo nearly outasted San Gorgonio in triple overtime to make the quarterfinals last season. Colton will end this one in regulation.
Colton 31, Don Lugo 20

Pasadena (6-4) at Chaffey (9-1)
Chaffey may be good enough this year to meet league foe Colony in the finals. Combined with the Tigers affinity for the dramatic, I'm expecting Chaffey to march deep into this postseason.
Chaffey 27, Pasadena 10

EAST VALLEY DIVISION
Flintridge Prep (7-2) at Ontario Christian (7-3)
Ontario Christian's seven-game win streak was interrupted by Aquinas last week in the Christian League title game. The Kinghts will begin a new one this week.
Ontario Christian 24, Flintridge Prep 13

SOUTHWEST
Bonita (6-4) at Santa Ana Foothill (8-2)
Bonita's most impressive win of the season may have been a 16-6 win last week over a Los Altos team fighting for a playoff spot. The Bearcats won't be able to carry that momentum into the playoffs against an accomplished Foothill squad.
Foothill 31, Bonita 14

NORTHWEST
Oaks Christian (7-3) at San Dimas (9-1)
Oaks Christian isn't what they once were - they won't make it a fifth title in a row this year. The fact that San Dimas is one dimensinal will spell the end for a young Saints team that'll be back with a vengence next year.
Oaks Christian 26, San Dimas 14
