League girls tennis champions are being crowned all around the county.

By now the contenders have separated themselves from the pretenders.

For OCVarsity.com

The Woodbridge girls tennis team didn't beat Northwood two weeks ago, but the Warriors came away with a feeling that they could.

Northwood defeated Woodbridge on games, 69-60, after the teams were tied in sets, 9-9, the first time the two squads met on Oct. 7.

The Warriors carried their optimism into Thursday afternoon's rematch at Northwood and turned it into an 11-7 upset win that all but wrapped up a share of the Sea View League title with the Timberwolves.

OCVarsity staff picks: Casas says it's time to simplify

October 23rd, 2008, 6:40 pm by ARTIE CASAS, OCREGISTER.COM

It's time to stop second-guessing my gut instincts with these football picks.

OCVarsity staff picks: Playing the waiting game

October 23rd, 2008, 4:21 pm by Damian Calhoun, OCVarsity.com since 2004

If it wasn't for a text message sent to Mr. Albano at 1:30 p.m., then I would still be sitting and waiting for him to make his selections for our staff contest here in Week 7.

That's what I get for dealing with the media superstar.

(Note, he didn't respond until 4:17 p.m.)

Even Jason Eichelberger sent his picks in before Albano. Amazing.

Also, apologies to Jonathan Kay. He actually went 7-1 last week and not 6-2. Props to Kay. He's still in last.

Now the picks ...

OCVarsity staff picks: Hooray for Jonathan Kay

October 20th, 2008, 7:11 pm by Damian Calhoun, OCVarsity.com since 2004

Kay knows Mater Dei.

Jon Kay was the only one to pick the Monarchs to win their pitched rivalry against Servite. In other shocking news, Kay went 6-2 on the week, one week after he went 2-6.

He's still in last place, but you have to start somewhere.

October 18th, 2008, 5:33 pm by ARTIE CASAS, OCREGISTER.COM

Momentum can carry a team to victory.

St. Margaret's captured that momentum when Mary Rachel Walsh and Allie Davis beat Sage Hill's Rain Billingsley and Isa-Maria Taskinen, 6-4, in the girls tennis No.1 doubles set.

That win propelled the Tartans to a 10-8 victory over the Lightning on Friday at the Balboa Bay country club.
