This is just my opinion from watching summer and fall basketball so far. The teams below are major players. Please feel free to add any in case I missed out.
1) Etiwanda- In a class by themselves. Coach losing Douglas hurt as OC could take them down.
2) Ontario Christian- Addition of Douglas and another great frosh added to Special K makes them #2 this season. Problem is so many egos, one ball. They may implode.
3) Sierra Canyon- Jerzey the real deal. Not sure if their big and the transfer can keep them anywhere near the top 2. They have a huge coaching edge on the top 2 but might not have the depth
4) Mater Dei- Monarchs led by Addy Deal. New Coach Wynn has a talented group. As usual. Right in the mix.
5. Sage Hill- Young group won Cali Live. As much as they lost, no drop in their seeding this year.
6. Brentwood- Talented group of guards. They can shoot it.
7. Bishop Montgomery- They are talented like last year. Didnt look great at Cali Live.
8. St Josephs Lakewood- Entirely new team filled with tons of transfers.
9. Oak Park- Coach always does a great job. They have two legit D1 guards
10.Windward- Got to see them at Cali Live. Super athletic. They can be in the top 5.
11. Moreno Valley- Lost to Windward at Cali Live. Another skilled athletic team. Lets see them make the jump to Open.
12. Louisville- Another team loaded with transfers. SC might have to actually play well to win these league games!
13. Fairmont Prep- Finally making the jump to the top grouping.
14. J Serra- PG is the real deal. Added some big time transfers. Lets see if they can get in the top group.
