pasadena 127 poll

Well, we've featured the Daily News and the LA Times' regional polls, and the Stats Leaders from both of those papers. So now it's time for Pasadena to get into the act. Here is the Boy's Basketball poll for the Pasadena region for this week.

Now this is a really interesting poll, which shows just how truly limited "regional" polls are. You've got a team which is 8-7 (Blair) as the No. 7 team in the area. They're probably better than their record, but what does this poll really mean? That the records are not reflective? That the teams in this area are just not competitive with the bigger "progam" schools? So tell us something we don't know already. Anyway, we don't really believe in this stuff, but people keep writing to us asking for more and more polls. So here's the Pasadena area poll.

Rank	Team	Record
No 1	Marshall	14-5
No. 2	Muir	16-5
No. 3	Temple City	12-8
No. 4	La Canadaq	17-5
No. 5	Monrovia	14-4
No. 6	Pasadena	12-10
No. 7	Blair	8-11
No. 8	Pasadena Poly	11-7
No. 9	Gabrielino	12-6
No. 10	St. Francis	8-8
