MV deserves to be #1 with what they have coming back which is much, much more compared to MD, who lost nearly every play on a good but not great team last year.

Years ago I remember a Servite lead team with one heck of a quartback, Steve Beuerlein. That team was simply unbeatable. It shows exactly what having a dominant quarterback can do to a team. Barkley will do the same thing for Mater Dei. As for the other talent on this team, it may be unrpoven but it is nonetheless talent. Mater Dei definitely deserves to be on the top of the O.C. rankings. Having a great quarterback is a tremendous asset that Mater Dei can enjoy.

What the heck are you talking about? I sure didn't see that speed and toughness last year against Orange Lutheran and Crespi. This MD will once again fall short of much lofty expectations by the media, who for some reason can't seem to get over the fact that the best player doesn't make you the best team. They lost their top 5 receivers, they lost the majority of the offensive line which was a strength last year, and they lost a huge majority of their defense to graduation, and their defense has been terrible these last few years. Gone are the 1990's Fryer, MD is not the best team in the county this year, and have no warrant to being number Mission Viejo deserved number 1 and Mater Dei should be moved down to number 3. I sure hope you can explain another early MD playoff loss after this year, Fryer. “There is speed and toughness on defense, too.” What the heck are you talking about?
