Pac-5 Division Prediction: Time for Serra to get some respect with Alemany and Amat in semifinals, but St. John Bosco wins it all

I’m going to take flack with such bold predictions, but I like Amat’s chances at Long Beach Poly and calling the upset over Mission Viejo at home in the second round. It feels entirely possible. In Amat’s losses to Alemany and Notre Dame, turnovers decided the game as much as anything. Amat’s yet to play a turnover-free game in a big game and if they protect the ball, their offense can do the rest. Alemany has a very winnable first round game and I like their athletes against Mater Dei. Now wouldn’t that be something, two Serra teams in the semifinals? It’s a good start for their street cred, but St. Bonny’s and St. John Bosco are going to the title game. I’ve felt all along St. John Bosco is the best of the best and not changing my mind now.
