TRIBUNE SOFTBALL RANKINGS
1. Glendora (9-2) – They go into spring break with a 10-0 loss to Dana Hills and won’t play again until April 14. I complained about the long break last year, but they went to the championship so the Tarts know what they’re doing.
2. Bonita (12-1-1) — Have won seven straight with pitcher Chloe Wurst getting better each week. The back-to-back no hitters were impressive, but shutting out hard-hitting Charter Oak was impressive too.
3. South Hills (11-3-1) — The Huskies are on fire, having won seven straight heading into next week’s home-and-away against rival West Covina.
4. West Covina (9-5) — Went 2-2 in the Savanna tournament, but the big games come next week against the Huskies.
5. Arroyo (11-1) — The Knights won’t lose a Mission Valley League game, and that’s all they have left, so mark down 21-1, that’s how they will finish. But the lone loss sticks out like a sore thumb, a 6-4 setback against Covina. How good are they, not sure, not enough quality opponents to get a true feel.
6. Northview (7-4) — The Vikes should be much better than 7-4, they have a durable pitcher and plenty of hitting at the top of their lineup. Not sure they will lose another game in the VVL.
7. Los Altos (6-4) — They follow a nice 5-4 win over Diamond Bar with a 10-1 pounding by Charter Oak. The only thing we know is that they’re inconsistent.
8. Covina (7-2) — Getting mercied by Northview 10-1 sent the Colts back to reality. Not sure they’re among the top five in the area, but a top ten for sure.
9. St. Lucy’s (5-3) — A sweep over San Dimas gives the Regents a more respectable record, and we can’t forget they play in the brutal Sierra.
10. Charter Oak (8-7) — It’s the same old tune, when they’re scoring runs they can play with anyone, when they’re not, not enough pitching to get it done.
