Tribune Baseball Rankings
1. South Hills (12-1-1) — Won a tournament in South Carolina and faces Damien for first in Sierra on Wednesday.
2. Damien (11-2) — Spartans’ only two losses by one run each heading into Wednesday’s showdown with South Hills.
3. Glendora (9-4) — Advanced to the semifinals of the tough Boras Classic.
4. San Dimas (9-5) — After a quick start, Tribune’s pre-season No. 1 has lost three straight.
5. Bonita (9-5) — Allowing more runs than in past years, but still Hacienda league favorite.
6. Diamond Bar (10-6) — Why do the Brahmas always lose to Bonita? Oh wait, they finally got them.
7. Bishop Amat (5-6) — Against the best-of-the-best, Amat is an average team with an average record. But still favored to win the Del Rey.
8. Nogales (10-3-1) — Record impressive again, but will it be good enough to make a run at the Valle Vista league title?
9. Sierra Vista (10-2) — Already 4-0 in the Montview
10. Charter Oak (8-5) — Winners of four straight after winning the Don Lugo tournament.
