SOUTHWEST DIVISION
The Breakdown: Southwest Division
Seeded teams: 1. La Habra (9-1), Freeway League champion; 2. Tustin (9-1), Century League champion; 3. Trabuco Hills (9-1), Sea View League champion; 4. Cypress (9-1), Empire League champion
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.

Boulton; El Dorado QB Andreas Ambuehl; El Dorado RB/DB Brock Dunn; Santa Ana Valley RB Darius Nacoste; El Toro RB Nico Jackson; El Toro WR/DB Jesse Bueno; El Toro QB Braden Olson; Villa Park RB Kapena Olsen; Villa Park LB David Tafuna; Villa Park DL Tene Tafuna; Cypress RB Akeelie Muhammad; Cypress WR/DB Jared Cohen; Cypress DL/OL Jamil Douglas; Troy RB DeAngelo Bonner; Troy RB Justin Austin; Trabuco Hills RB Shane DeCillo; Trabuco Hills RB Dylan Buononato; Trabuco Hills QB A.J.

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.
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
