An interesting week for the vote … last week, Ocean View beat Mission Viejo; Orange Lutheran lost twice, yes, but to the top two teams in the state rankings (Mater Dei and Long Beach Poly) …
My vote, one of six that are used to compile the top 10, went like this today …
Esperanza really needed to win Saturday’s match against Canyon to have any hope of being one of the Century League’s representatives in the CIF-SS playoffs.
How I voted this week on the Orange County boys basketball top 10. There are six voters on the panel. My vote is not the final top 10.
1. Mater Dei (19-2 overall, 6-0 league … better than last year? Looks that way)

1. Mater Dei (Trinity League) 17-2 overall record, 60 points
