first of all FV didn’t lose on a bad call. they lost on a good call. watching film the next day their were 5 FIVE holds on the kickoff return. plus edison was playing without their best lineman and still managed to win. that just shows FV is overrated

I keep thinking back to when a 45-year-old George Foreman KO’d Michael Moorer in the 10th round in 1994 to become the oldest heavyweight champion and the only thing HBO announcer Jim Lampley can say is: “It happened! It happened!!”

That’s what I was thinking when D.C. called with the score of that Espy-Edison game. I can’t believe two playoff-worthy league champions will be left out because of coin flips.

Thinking back when when I went to ESPERANZA when YL HS opens they will be the new power house. I would guess they would lose about 80percent of there good players

Esperanza showed up for this season closing out strong. They have one more season in the Sunset before getting reshuffled. They are going to kill everyone in their new league. Yorba Linda H.S. may have a chance depending on the zoning. How many kids will Esperanza lose then?

Man the Sunset scenario stinks, when you have a team that wins 3 games in a row and then loses coin flips to come in 5th good luck to NH leapfrogging Edison and how come Serra gets 3 teams with a four team league should they noy t get just 2 leaving a spot open for a situation like this year Sunset league, how would you like to be the coach to tell the kids they beat the first and second place reps from their league but they will miss the playoffs just plain stinks CIF should allow any team that wants in to get in to the football playoffs

Los AL most likely would not go losing to FV when they were not ranked top 10 and losing to Newport. Esperanza should just go back to North County

Beach Bum is correct with FV having the tiebreaker over both newport and Los AL. Los AL 8-2 and might not get into the playoffs that sucks.

Carlos, You’re correct about the “doomsday” scenerio if Espy beats Edison, BUT if Edison beats Espy you are TOTALLY WRONG that coin flips will determine the playoff slots for FV, NH and LosAl…

If Edison beats Espy, Edison will be the 1st place Sunset team and then FV, NH and LosAl will be tied for second place. You’re correct up to this point. However, reality is that FV has wins over NH and LosAl which gives them the tiebreakers and FV will be the 2nd place Sunset rep and NH has a tie breaker over LosAl and NH becomes the 3rd place Sunset rep. LosAl can only get into the playoffs IF they are the at-large team selected from the others in the Serra, SC and Trinity leages left out in the cold… exactly which teams will not be determined until after tonights games.

Los Al has an 8-2 record which should match up well against the other teams, but so much weight is placed on schedule strength… who knows.
