St. Francis can set the world on fire with win over Harvard-Westlake
1. Charter Oak (4-1) — Taking the “OVER” in the Sierra League opener vs. South Hills

7. South Hills (3-2) — Huskies have mojo back in time for showdown with CO.
8. San Dimas (4-1) — We’re all counting the days until the Covina game.
9. Covina (5-1) — Colts badly need a healthy Billy The Kid back under center.
10. La Habra (2-3) — Wouldn’t want to be Sunny Hills on Friday night.

13. La Serna (4-1) — This ranking unintentionally makes LS the tepid favorite in the Del Rio.
14. Diamond Ranch (3-3) — Becoming quite scary at just the right time.
15. Arcadia (3-2) — Inexplicable loss to Burroughs (2-3) stings on every level.
16. La Puente (5-0) — Need Nick Barrientos back to finish the job in the Montview.
17. Los Altos (5-1) — Bounced back vs. Rowland, but here come Roddy’s Ranchers.
18. Arroyo (5-1) — You know, a loss to LC may have actually helped Knights with CIF.
19. Claremont (4-1) — Nobody giving the Pack a chance in Sierra despite good record.
20. Alhambra (4-1) — Only team in Almont without a losing record.
21. El Rancho (4-1) — Dons will get chance to put Santa Fe in a world of hurt on Friday.

23. Bonita (2-3) — ‘Cats got rest before HUGE rematch with West Covina.
24. Monrovia (2-3) — Wildcats survived Paramount, now comes the easy part. Right?
25. Bosco Tech (6-0) — NOTE: It was an oversight by me to not include in the Tigers in these rankings. I delved further into this team and agree they should be in. I will make them No. 25 because I have questions about the strength of schedule (three wins over winless teams). They will rise if they can beat St. Bernard this week.
