I’m going to make a sincere effort to update every score each night. If you happen to attend one of these games and see that your score hasn’t been update, please feel free to make a post.
With that said, who makes the furthest run in the postseason.
Will it be #1 St. Paul?
St. Paul’s Nick Oddo
The Swordsmen have a tough route that includes a possible second-round revenge showdown with Kaiser. Was St. Paul’s win over Bishop Amat a harbinger of good things to come?
Will it be #2 La Mirada?
La Mirada’s Mike Piazza
The Matadores are on a roll, having won 17 of 18 games and may have the area’s deepest starting pitching trio in Daniel Poncedeleon, Kyle Harper and Mitch Petersen. My concern is that there are no freebies in Division 2, past the first round.
Will it be #3 California?
California coach Tony Nieto and Jacob Poore
The Condors are a versatile bunch and proved their playoff mettle by finishing 7-2 against La Serna, Santa Fe and El Rancho, the league’s three other playoff teams.
Or will someone from the field (Santa Fe, La Serna, Whittier Christian, El Rancho or Montebello) step up and put together a surprising run?
