The North Torrance boys soccer team has the Pioneer League all but wrapped up for the fourth straight year, and can clinch the title on Friday when it hosts Lawndale. North's speed gives everyone fits.
South Torrance, which may be playing the best soccer in the Pioneer League right now, sits firmly in second place while El Segundo and Lawndale are in a tight race for the third automatic CIF Southern Section playoff spot out of the Pioneer League.
Torrance and Centennial are down and appear out of the playoff race.
The Pioneer League is not getting a lot of respect from the CIF Southern Section, as it has no teams ranked in Division IV, not even North, which reached the semifinals last year.
Look below at the Pioneer League standings, which start with the overall records then follow with league records for each team.
1. North Torrance 10-4-6, 6-0-1 (19 points)
2. South Torrance 8-6-5, 4-1-2 (14 points)
3. El Segundo 5-8-3, 3-3-1 (10 points)
4. Lawndale 9-9-2, 2-3-2 (8 points)
5. Torrance 6-11-4, 1-4-2 (5 points)
6. Centennial 2-10-1, 1-6 (3 points)
