Mt. Baldy League prediction
Each year we eagerly await a slip-up from Colony so we can declare the two-time defending CIF-SS Central Division champs' run over.
Three straight losses to begin this season was finally it... or not.
Before last night's 52-0 shellacking of Garey gave Colony the first Mt. Baldy League win of the season, the Titans (3-3, 1-0) got off the mat to string together consecutive wins over CIF-ranked Alta Loma and a Serrano team that beat it by 35 last year.
The champs may have their work cut out if they are to claim a third straight CIF title with the Sierra and Baseline Leagues having invaded their division this year, but their dominance of the Mt. Baldy League is far from over.
As usual, Chaffey will be the chief challenger, but the Tigers don't appear as strong as last year's 9-2 team (that lost to Colony by 21).
The third playoff spot this year is absolutely up for grabs.
Here is my prediction:
Colony 5-0
Chaffey 4-1
Ontario 3-2
Montclair 2-3
Don Lugo 1-4
Garey 0-5

YOU EAGERLY AWAIT??
How pathetic are you? How sad you await for thee boys to lose. To even type that make you so ignorant.
You watch those boys come back each year and eat your words ya big jerk.
you owe them an apology
Mary Anne,
The statement you referenced was an attempt to make an innocent play on programs reaching a level of such dominance, people grow to dislike them. I was trying to pay Colony a compliment but I shouldn't have used the word 'we' because that group doesn't include me. I apologize if it came off the wrong way. As you can see above, I think people will be waiting a while longer for Colony to lose.
