County Outlook: East Valley Division

St. Margaret's: The Tartans are the overwhelming favorites to take the title and they are within range of the of tying the county record for the longest winning streak. The Tartans have won 38 consecutive games. Mission Viejo holds the record with 41 consecutive victories from 2001-03. The Tartans would tie the record if they make it into the finals and they would break it with another championship.

Brethren Christian: The Warriors' second-place finish in the Academy League got them back in the playoffs. They get a road game against De Anza League-champion Twentynine Palms in the first round. Brethren Christian went 2-5 against nonleague opponents this season. Twentynine Palms was ranked No. 8 in the final East Valley poll.

I Bleed Green and Gold. Edison had their fate in their hands Friday night and scored 3 points against Esperanza. The previous week they pulled off a miracle and got a great penalty call to get a comeback win against FV. They had a great year. They played Servite; Mater Dei; Los Alimitios; Esperanza; Fountain Valley and Newport Harbor and Dana Hill, all in the Register's top 15 last Friday. They lost to Servite; Los Al and Esperanza in very close games - Can't argue about their strength of schedule.. No excuses, but they did loose some key players along the way and a number of those that did play were limited in one way or another. But the fact that they weren't picked to fill the at large spot isn't the real problem. The real problem is that there was no rule in place to deal with a 5 team tie. Think about it, The Sunset League reprsentatives could have been Esperanza; Newport Harbor and Fountain Valley while Los Al; Esperanza and Edison could have gone home - Bet there would have been a lot of moanin then, eh?

What are you doing on this site, EdisonPapa? Think about it, a five way tie for first? You won't see that again in our lifetime. You can't have a rule for every single scenerio. But you're right, Chargers could and should have settled it on the field.
