Valle Vista League prediction: Saints make their point
Here is my guess at how the Valle Vista League will look at the end of league play:
San Dimas: 5-0
Covina: 4-1
Baldwin Park: 3-2
Pomona: 2-3
Covina Northview: 1-4
Ganesha: 0-5
It was a one-point loss to Northview that cost San Dimas the Valle Vista League championship last season. Judging by Northview's nonleague performance, that surely won't happen again.
I think San Dimas (4-1) actually had a better team last season, but the rest of the league hasn been far from impressive thus far. Covina (2-3) played Walnut close but that's about the only thing on its nonleague resume worth mention. Pomona (4-1) and Baldwin Park (4-1) played such soft nonleague schedules that they're difficult to gauge. Although both of their losses came to below average teams.
After considerable progress last season, Ganesha (0-5) has fallen off again. And Northview (1-4), last season's undefeated league champ, has only a victory over hapless Nogales through five games.
