The Incredible Reggie Turner is by all himself in race for Hacienda League MVP.

1. Bishop Amat (5-1-1) — Win over CO buys Lancers another week in top spot.
2. Charter Oak (6-1) — Defense holds seventh straight opponent to season-low in points.
3. La Mirada (7-1) — Cruise control until the semis of the Southeast playoffs?
4. Chino Hills (4-2-1) — Showed rival Ayala who’s the boss in strip mall heaven.
5. La Serna (6-1) — Guess they can consider Santa Fe a mild threat now, too.
6. Ayala (5-2) — Got reality checked vs. Chino Hills, now here comes Charter Oak.
7. South Hills (5-2) — Can put the dagger in Damien and help own playoff chances.
8. Monrovia (5-2) — All about bolstering case for top seed in Mid-Valley playoffs.
9. San Dimas (6-1) — Saints should have lots of revenge motive built up for Covina.

11. California (7-0) — Finally got in gear to put away pesky Pioneer.
12. Bonita (4-3) — Coach Medrano looking like he will win league title in first season. Nice!
13. Rio Hondo Prep (6-1) — We’re already thinking about a rematch with Mission Prep.

20. Rowland (6-2) — Fightin’ Snyders have mega tests still with DR and WestCo.
21. Northview (5-2) — Only a major slip will keep Vikes from playing for title in Week 10.
22. Muir (4-3) — Pacific champ likely to be determined Fri. when Burbank invades.
