Coach Shipp is doing a fine job and Middlebrooks is having an All-County type season. I will very interested to see how the Barons close out league and they definitely will have a chance to crack my top-10 rankings soon.

La habra against Los AL had 4 turnovers one on the Los Al 5yrd line and still scored 21pts and loss 28 to 21. When they played San Cle La habra was winning in the 4th qtr with 6 min to go and had a pass intercepted and gave up a score, they then drove the ball down had a 1st and goal at the San Clemete 6 and could not put it in with 1 min left. Have either one of you seen La Habra play? I do not have a child on the team but live in the city and follow all HSfootball. They have a division 1 caliber team very capable of beating some OC top 10 teams. I have not seen Dana or Newport harbor play so can't say much about them but i have seen Tesoro,Los Al and San Clem play. In my opinion Tesoro is the best team in the So. Coast Leauge and Los Al is the best team in the Sunset leauge and Esparanza IS NOT better than (LA Habra) maybe in the past but not this year. Westminster beat Marina 35 to 28 and Esperanza beat Marina 17 to 14. La habra beat Westminster 52 TO 7 !!!!!! Hey Dana/truth,

Dan break it down. Quarterback , Running back, Receiver. The Dolphins, are a high scoring team. That spread offense is tough to stop.Dana Hills is playing with a chip on their shoulder after that San Clemente loss..... so look out. Once again Dan Albino.... my pick goes to Dana Hills Dan,

Fountain Valley beat Newport Harbor, Fountain Valley keep it close against Tesoro even after losing there starting QB in the 2nd QTR. Newport Harbor can't lose in the first round if they don't even make the playoffs. Are you kidding Newport Harbor gets a vote and not Fountain Valley.

So let's examine their losses shall we? Dana was tied in a wild shootout with SC 31-31 with a min. left in the 4th. They puked the ball up in the end zone and that's how they lost. They scored more against SC than Tesoro did. Against NH, they lost because they didn't have a kicker that game. They scored 4 TD's, and Harbor only scored 3 and a FG. Dana missed every extra point and a game winning 34 yd FG with one sec. left. (Most people in the stands thought the kick looked good.) Final was 25-24 Harbor. Dana brought up their Soph. kicker since, and he hasn't missed. Against Edison, turnovers killed them. No team is going to survive 5 turnovers. They still scored 20 against Edison in spite of their mistakes. The only team to score more on Edison is Los Al with 23 pts. Still think La Harbra is better?

We have to go with the bottom line at some point. I like OLu, too - the Lancers were my preseason No. 1 and I might have been too hard on them. That 10-0 win over Tustin might look pretty good if Tustin wins the Century and makes a playoff run -- which I think the Tillers will But LosAl is the No. 2 based on beating a OC #1 and LA City # 1. And I don't think LosAl or Tesoro will lose in the first round. Tesoro has the size on the OL, the balance on offense and enough playmakers to get out of the first round in the very tough Pac-5. The Titans also should get a decent draw for winning the South Coast, which I think they will do Los Al also is on its way to a good playoff draw. How about a LosAl-Tesoro quarterfinal or semifinal?
