(PC: Anna Scipione)
Current # | Previous # | Team | State | Record | Notes |
1 | 1 | St. Ignatius | California | (12-1) | Will most likely coast through the rest of the schedule. It’s too bad there isn’t a CA state championship game for them to get a challenge. |
2 | 2 | Foothill-Santa Ana | California | (16-1) | Two very competitive game against Torrey Pines (4/24) and Cathedral Catholic (5/2) to end their regular season. |
3 | 3 | Cherry Creek | Colorado | (10-1) | Solid win against Regis Jesuit to secure #1 spot in Colorado. Another good test against Arapahoe on 4/22. |
4 | 4 | Corona Del Mar | California | (13-0) | Last real test of the regular season is St. Margarets on 4/22. After that it is OCLA playoffs and a possible match up against Foothill-Santa Ana. |
5 | 6 | Mercer Island | Washington | (13-0) | Finally get into the meat of their in-sate schedule with games versus Eastside Catholic (4/25), Bellevue (5/4), and Issaquah (5/8). |
6 | 5 | Regis Jesuit | Colorado | (10-2) | Two loss teams and holds the edge over Mountain Vista as the #2 due to their 10-9 win against them on 3/21. |
7 | 7 | Mountain Vista | Colorado | (11-1) | Haven’t lost a game since Regis Jesuit but haven’t played anyone either. Kent Denver on 4/25 should determine the #3 team in Colorado. |
8 | 8 | Coronado Red | Nevada | (13-1) | Out of state wins over Issaquah (WA), Juan Diego Catholic (UT), and Park City (UT). They play Nevada’s top three for the 3rd time in the next two weeks. |
9 | 9 | Corner Canyon | Utah | (14-1) | Impressive resume with wins over Eastside Catholic (WA), West Linn (OR) Lakeridge (OR), and Fort Collins (CO). Still games with undefeated Brighton (4/24) and Skyline (4/28). |
10 | 15 | Eastside Catholic | Washington | (9-1) | Nine game win streak after loss on season opener versus Corner Canyon. Mercer Island on 4/25 will decide #1 in state. |
11 | 12 | West Linn | Oregon | (7-3) | Match up against Lakeridge on 4/23 will decide #1 in state. Looks like a three way race between West Linn, Lakeridge, and Sunset. |
12 | 10 | St. Margarets | California | (15-2) | Losses to #2 Foothill-Santa Ana and Bellarmine Prep. They face Corona Del Mar on 4/22 to decide who is #2 in Orange County. |
13 | 14 | Park City | Utah | (14-1) | Game against an solid Skyline team on 4/22 will be an great test for the Miners. They hold wins over Juna Diego Catholic and Corner Canyon. |
14 | 16 | San Ramon Valley | California | (11-2) | They finish the regular season against De La Salle (5/1) and a rematch against Monte Vista-Danville (5/8). |
15 | 13 | Issaquah | Washington | (12-1) | Loss to Coronado-Red and win over Desert Vista have them hovering in the 15-20 range. Squeak by Skyline 4-3 in OT. |
16 | 11 | Torrey Pines | California | (8-6) | Wins over Kent Denver, De La Salle, and Cathedral Catholic keep them in. They play on the hardest schedules (#6 based on laxpower) in the west. |
17 | 17 | Lakeridge | Oregon | (10-3) | Losses to Corner Canyon, Mercer Island, and Sunset. They play West Linn twice in the next two weeks. |
18 | 18 | Kent Denver | Colorado | (9-2) | They play three games against the top three teams in Colorado to end the season. Mountain Vista (4/25), Regis Jesuit (4/29), and Cherry Creek (5/2). |
19 | N/R | Monte Vista-Danville | California | (11-3) | Two out of three losses are to teams in the top 20 (St. Ignatius and San Ramon Valley). |
20 | 20 | Desert Vista | Arizona | (12-1) | After an 11-4 win over rival, Brophy Prep, it would look like they will run the table again with little to no competition. |
