SOUTHWEST DIVISION
The Breakdown: Southwest Division

At-large: Kennedy (5-5), Empire League
Darkhorse: El Toro (7-3). The Chargers are battle-tested. They battled South Coast No. 2 Dana Hills, before losing 34-20, shut out Laguna Hills (the third seed in the Southern Division) and lost the Sea View League title on a last-second field goal. Nico Jackson is a main figure on offense with 839 rushing yards and Jesse Bueno is everywhere on both sides of the ball. A tough first round game against Villa Park awaits.

my pick for the semis- La Habra vs. Cypress and Tustin vs. Trabuco Hills. They have proved all year they are the class of the SW division.
Oh, my dark horse for the playoffs will be Fullerton. Just because they got clobbered by LH this past week doesn’t mean they aren’t a good team. They will shock some people, beginning with Pacifica.
Fullerton is favored according to calpreps, but I like the Mariners in this one. They have a 3 headed monster at RB and a very efficient QB and WRs. Their OL/DL is the strength of their team.
Well so much for your dark horse. I will give you that Fullerton has some big boys that came to play and hit like trucks. It was a good game between FUHS and Pacifica.
Fullerton hasn’t played anybody and will be out early again. Maybe first round, but for sure second round.
Good luck to the Seaview!
All three Sea View teams have a great chance making it to round two
tustin sitting preety nice draw
VP needs their FB back!
has any decision been made where El Toro Villa Park are playhing and which day?
Friday night, Saddleback College
Steve Logovii is Valencia’s RB dam n get it right for once.
Valencia needs a perfect game on both sides of the ball to get by Tustin. We can do it, go tigers! FAITH…
VP plays at Saddleback College, Friday @ 7:30pm
My pick for the finals Trabuco Hills vs. La Habra.
tustin wins it all
Only 2 good first round games: Fullerton-Pacifica and VP- El Toro
The rest will be blow outs by the higher rated team.
El Toro might end up blowing out VP.
Closest game will be Pacifica-Fullerton in Round 1 (toss up on that game)
Huntington Beach and El Dorado got gifts for Round 1.
La Habra will blow out everyone in the top bracket. (including El Toro or Cypress)
Only Close game in the lower bracket will be Tustin-T.Hills in semi’s, after the Pacifica-Fullerton game.
Pretty weak field this year compared to 2008–except the 4 seeded teams and El Toro.
Semis: La Habra-El Toro/ Tustin-T. Hills
Final: La Habra- Tustin
Winner: La Habra
My thoughts exactly, except the part about Cypress. Their program is very close to La Habra’s. They both play the same and have one heck of a RB. Unlike most teams that La Habra faced (excluding Los Al, and San Clemente) Cypress can complete a forward pass under extreme pressure. The Centurions will have to play better than they did against Pacifica and that was a good performance. T. Hill is the only bump in the road for Tustin.
Trabuco all the way. Looking to avenge the 5 point loss last year.
sa valley over el toro dont call it an upset kid
#70 tackle
Congrats to all the teams that made it it to the playoffs! Spring, summer, 2 a days, beat up from head to toe. Still working hard to keep movin’ on!
Also congrats to all the kids that were on teams that didn’t make the playoffs or not even close to making the playoffs. On a losing team still laced them up and took the better teams on every week!
La Habra will defeat Cypress in the playoffs if they were to meet. La Habra does not look ahead, it takes one game at a time.
La Habra is so overrated. Cypress will battle with them and come out on top
Hey Mom,
Let me preface this by saying I am not part of the Clan.
You Line Sixer’s should concern yourselves with ET before considering a semi-final match up with the Machine otherwise know as the Highlanders. Overrated? Please check that stats. Good luck with El Toro.
La Habra will hit you so hard that you guys will be singing your line six poams backwards all the way home.
yea…ok…can’t wait to see Cypress try and do this…La Habra has proved themselves this year, last year, the year before that….need I say more
your mom,
Sounds like you’ve been making the family HATERAID in the kitchen again! Yes Cypress is good but way to 1 dimensional. La Habra can’t wait
to play them especially after a bunch of smack talk
back in passing leauge. Now they can feel the big hits of the big LH CLAN! GANG TACKELING!!
Oh by the way, this will probably be a LH home game.
well all you eldo fans got your wish. so same place same time ,unfortunatley for you different teams. so unless yellow flags start flying around this wont even be close at half time.go clan
La Habra gonna blow out ElDo
what no analogy of lb and db corp this week.I think I nailed you down at the cooler of gatoraide after game friday after game.
do u guys realize trabuco is gonna take this title easily?? apparently u dont
hmmmmm…don’t think so..watch La Habra do it AGAIN!!!
Go Cypress!!!! So excited and proud of you!
Oh! it’s La Habra all the way, no doubts about it. La Habra is playing vey strong and they are going for a 3 peat this year!
Oh! its La Habra all the way, no doubts about it. La Habra ois going to beat Cypress or team that gets in thier way and do a 3 peat this year!
la habra fans..u guys barely beat TH last year on a lousy fumble call.
and ive got bad news for you…
trabuco hills is even better THIS year.
sorry.
Tustin not La Habra. check the schedule J son.
if you didnt like the call dont fumble, and before you worry about the clan beat tustin.
Cypress in a blowout this weekend. They gave El Toro a chance in the first half. What happened to that upset? 3 field goals…La Habra will be lucky to put more than 21 on the board. It’s been fun.
Cypress 38-17.
you gotta be high . most prolific offense in div,not a one trick pony like all the rest.
La Habra 31 Cypress 19
im confident the finals will be la habra, trabuco. thats why i said la habra Chervin
oh tustin has no chance against trabuco.
trabuco 38
tustin 14
bring on the clan
Next years team should be good too
I think the JV team went undefeated in league, not sure about non-league
When will the rest of the Quezada gang get to play at La Habra?
