Ok, lets see if I can get this post going again (it seems responses were deleted inadvertently):
1 CDM (excellent top 5, and good coaching)
2 La Habra (Acen Jimenez is the best PG in OC Publics- could play anywhere- and good coach)
3 Tesoro (good coaching, Hatch brothers lead a strong team ready for a deep run)
4 San Clemente (young and big, incredible talent stream from the togethership)
5 Canyon (recruiting on overdrive)
6 Cypress (Ryan Gov is a legit PG and drives this team, Mitchell always coaches them up)
7 Marina (Shane Gloger will be candidate for OC Player of the Year)
8 Newport Harbor (Owen Saukkola is a monster, and good coaching)
9 Foothill (young but good coaching)
10 San Juan Hills (good coaching, returning only 2 starters, tough defensive team can make noise)
on the bubble:
Capistrano Valley (recruited in multiple players should help them compete in South Coast League)
Laguna Hills (2-3 young impactful stars, could easily be in the end of season list)
Tustin (quality coach replacing Bossmeyer after a strong season)
Yorba Linda (always competitive)
Esperanza (fast and aggressive defensively and can shoot!)
Los Al (Graduated 10 seniors+ and is rebuilding from within but Nate may be best coach in OC)
