Whatever happened in the past is history. You can't live on history. You gotta live for the day. The coach didn't develop his team. The coach isn't a coach, he is just someone that rides the waves. The coach had some good years because he was blessed with talented players from various areas in the oc. But now is when you see what this coach can do which is nothing. No one on the team was a standout just brums pull. Enough with Foothill. Whatever happened in the past is history. You can’t live on history. You gotta live for the day.

There has been a Sea View league team in the Finals for the past 3 years. 2 CIF champions. It's too bad CDM and Newport cant get away from each other in a semifinal, assuming seeds play out. Is that 3 tournaments in a row.? Maybe CDM can get over the hump this time and send NP home.They seem to be improving as the season continues, Interesting that Sea View league is ranked 4th.

Loyola is undefeated, so they have a big target on their back. CDM, ET, NP are veterans to the playoffs, Loyola is not, so watch out. ET has a habit of playing strong in the playoffs under Stoll.

Hartshorne could put that team on his back. Kyle Kim-E and Jack Mayers are both very strong players too. CDM might be counting its chickens a little too soon. I think Newport over Northwood and Loyola over El Toro. Loyola is just unmatched. Northwood could very well beat Ventura. Hartshorne could put that team on his back.

They had a great season and were (I thought) guaranteed a spot, being the 3rd of 6 teams in the Sea View. Dan – do you know why HB is in the wildcard?
