1. Chino Hills (19-3) — Huskies showed promise last year, but stepped up to top dog with a rather easy sweep over previous No. 1 St. Lucy’s last week. They faced South Hills Tuesday before an intra-city rival against Ayala aet for Thursday.
2. Bonita (14-3) — The Bearcats, who had two sweeps last week, have been pretty consistent since losing in week one against St. Lucy’s. But the rematch against Los Altos will be very interesting in a few weeks.
3. St. Lucy’s (9-6) — The Regents looked a little rusty last week after taking the previous week off. They beat an under-manned South Hills in four games before being swept by Chino Hills. But we have come to expect a solid finish in past seasons by the Regents. Will it happen again?
4. Los Altos (11-3) — The Conquerors have picked it up since losing to Bonita.
5. San Dimas (13-4) — The Saints take advantage of some losses to move up to No. 5. They are liking a Ganesha-less Valle Vista.
6. Glendora (4-4) — The Tartans Baseline League debut was dismal after opening with back-to-back losses. The volleyball team might be taking the biggest hit from league realignment.
7. Ayala (9-6) — The Bulldogs have been somewhat inconsistent, but has found their rhythm lately, beating South Hills in five to go from out of the top 10 to No. 7.
8. South Hills (7-4) — The Huskies took the biggest hit of the week, losing middle blocker Jackie Valle-Acosta to a knee injury. But Charm Doyle still has enough talent to make an impact.
9. Gladstone (9-4) — The Gladiators have taken early control of the Montview League, but more tests will come in rematches against Ganesha and La Puente.
10. Bishop Amat (9-5) — The Lancers opened Del Rey League with a loss to St. Joseph.
