I guess my only problem with this is why is Mountain View the No. 8 seed? Is San Diego and Central section soccer that great? I guess we’re going to find out soon. It’s a tough road for the Vikings, who would have to play both rounds on the road. If I had to guess who’s going to win it, I’d take St. Francis. Salesian? We’re pulling for you, you’re our adopted team because of the great show of sportsmanship you displayed along with Baldwin Park this week. Hopefully you can knock off the school from the island tomorrow.
