TRIBUNE SUPER 35 RANKINGS
1. Charter Oak (5-4) — After winning a third straight Sierra League title — and the least expected after an 0-4 start, the Chargers proved they could handle the step up in class after years of dominating the Miramonte. Now comes an even bigger test. Can the Chargers do any damage in the Inland playoffs?
2. Bishop Amat (5-4) – Folks expect the Lancers to be dropped. But it’s just not practical, even though their season ends on Friday. Even CalPreps’ computers still have Amat No. 1 in the area by a landslide. They could finish last in the Serra, but they still deserve this spot. Ask Charter Oak and Chino Hills, they’ll vouch.
3. Chino Hills (7-2) — Charter Oak may have beaten the Huskies and will win the Sierra title, but Chino Hills is ranked eighth in the Inland while the Chargers are No. 10.
4. Diamond Ranch (8-1) – The Hacienda League champs need to defeat Bonita to maintain the second seed in the Southeast Division. Nobody thought anyone would run the table in the Hacienda, but the Panthers are a game away from doing just that.
5. Glendora (6-3) — All those close wins at the beginning are coming back to haunt the Tartans. They lost an absolute heartbreaker to Los Osos and after a 6-0 start, the Tartans won’t make the playoffs.
6. Arroyo (8-1) – The Knights are hoping to nab a top four seed and the way to do it is by beating Rosemead — at Rosemead for the outright Mission Valley League title. This is the Knights’ biggest game since a season opening loss to Los Altos. Let’s see how far they’ve come.
7. Pomona (9-0) — Some are giving the areas only undefeated team little chance in Friday’s Valle Vista League title game against San Dimas. But the Red Devils have been proving the doubters wrong all year. What’s one more time?
8. Bonita (6-3) — The Bearcats are back in the playoff mix after stunning Los Altos at home. They can still be a dangerous playoff team. They have so many weapons, but they’ve battled inconsistency.
9. Los Altos (7-2) – The Conquerors need to win statement games, playoff clinchers, and they haven’t been able to do it — not in the last few years. They’ll get another chance against a hot West Covina team on Thursday.
10. San Dimas (5-4) — I don’t remember anyone starting 0-4 and dominating a league as thoroughly as the Saints. Maybe it’s because they haven’t played Pomona yet, but regardless, it’s still impressive.
The Rest: 11. Diamond Bar (5-4); 12. Rosemead (8-1); 13. South Hills (4-5); 14. West Covina (5-4); 15. Damien (4-5); 16. Azusa (7-2); 17. Ayala (3-6); 18. Northview (7-2); 19. Baldwin Park (6-3); 20. Duarte (5-4); 21. Bassett (5-4); 22. La Puente (6-3); 23. Claremont (1-8); 24. Covina (4-6); 25. Mountain View (4-5); 26. Walnut (2-7), 27. Rowland (3-7); 28. South El Monte (2-7); 29. Sierra Vista (2-7); 30. Nogales (2-7); 31. Gladstone (2-7); 32. Ganesha (3-6); 33. Workman (3-6); 34. El Monte (1-8); 35. Wilson (1-8).
