welcome to cif 1st round
Cypress / Western schedule conflict…any schedules come out yet?
With the possible exception of Cypress, the Empire league will now coming crashing back to earth. Pacifica is just plain soft and as for Valencia the only two teams they played all year with winning records (Western/Cypress) they lost to. My money is on either of the Freeway League powers (La Habra/Fullerton) to win it all!
Hey Stickem2, when was the Empire league not on this earth? What a silly statement to make, it’s true it’s a down year for the Empire teams but they will still compete and this is a new division for them as they got moved up after destroying the Southern Section the last 2 years so there really wasn’t any great expectations from them this year,give them a year or two to adjust to the new division and they will be fine, sounds like they beat up on you pretty bad over the yearsfor you to make such a ridiculous statement, good luck to all play clean and stay healthy!
A player that didn’t come out is SA Valley Joe Garcia WR.
Very talented athlete.
Hey EmpireFan – come on over to the other site. I kinda miss debating with you. It’s tough to do here.
Stick’em – this division added 2 tough leagues in the Freeway and the Empire. It’s gotten harder for everyone.
Joe Garcia or do u mean Bambi hahahahah ……..jk
Yes talented athlete n take of Carlos (nose) Acevedo and put Alex G
I think a shack up is come…….ing don’t count the Empire out?????
if tustin does indeed stay healthy, they will be a tough team to beat. their d line is amazing and have 3-4 fast running backs. but there is a major need of improvement in the pass defense.
