Re: CIF Favorites?
Lakewood is the obvious choice followed by Capistrano valley.
The team to watch however just may be Cresenta Valley the #1 seed from the Pacific League. C.V. will be the youngest team in the tournament I can remember, starting 6 underclassmen,1 junior and 2 seniors!

Riverside poly
I think the team you have to watch would be Riverside POLY. They won their league which was a VERY good baseball league and beat some good teams in nonleague games such as CRESCENTA VALLEY and BISHOP AMAT.

Re: CIF Favorites?I know baseball
I just do not consider Riverside Polly an outside choice. They Killed Cresenta Valley in the second game of the season. Yes, C.V. was a young team, at that point ,starting a couple of 14 year olds a 13 year old and 2 very young 15 year olds ( I believe all are still in the starting rotation), still R. Polly would beat them again. I will be surprised if CV makes it passed the second round.
You may have noticed that Millikan lost 3 times to Lake wood by one run this season, but sense Millikan only has one pitcher, well they may not last. Also note that Millikan only lost by 1 run to powerhouse Villa Park.
Either way their appears to be 3 sophomore D-1 college prospects in the Division this year. Always a good sign.

Millikan lost twice to Lakewood, this year not three times. They beat Lakewood, in the first meeting. Lakewood avenged that loss in the final of some tournament. Then won again in the final meeting. If Millikan gets hot, watch out.

Re: CIF Favorites?I know baseball
Well now that Millikan and Lakewood are out, I think that Long Beach Wilson and Capistrano Valley are the frontrunners.

Re: CIF Favorites?I know baseball/Pimp
My mistake Pimp and I stand corrected. The fact that Millikan played so well against Lakewood is why I thought that if a young C.V. could get past Millikan's # 1 (6'10") pitcher while using their # 2 pitcher, their by saving All American pitcher (Trevor Bell) for the second round ( a smart move knowing the next round would be extra tough) it would give the young C.V. hope for next year when they return 8 starters.
Even though C.V. lost 9-1 ( 5 unearned ) their was one bright spot, Grant Hardyments solo home run in the 5 th inning.
C.V. returns 8 starters next year!

Re: CIF Favorites?
A humorous retort I presume? My ill attempt at re-cantering the Lakewood/Millikan series was an honest mistake (just reviewing to many games / players that night) one I just may make again.lol...
All kidding aside Mike and A.J. are proven ( well known) commodities in the so. cal baseball arena and should not be disappointed in the draft.
I look for up and coming players / teams and this is how I found Cresenta Valley. Little known teams with a future. A more than talented coaching staff with a proven track record.
Look for C.V. to showcase one All American, two all state and two all area players next season. Remember they started two 14 and two 15 year olds in the Millikan game. They are still 2 years away from serious contention however as I am told they are looking to start 5 sophomores, 2 juniors and 2 senior next season.
One more prediction next years team of sophomores and juniors will be one of the highest ranked on the west coast. Based on their past national and international ranking.
Still look for Chatsworth to be the king of baseball court for the next 2 years and they have 2 top quality incoming freshman and 1 soon to be big time sophomore next year.

Re: CIF Favorites in Division V.
I think that you have to put Temple City as one of the favorites this year. If Ryan Tucker stays healthy and turns in a performance like he had last year, they could win it all. Woodcrest Christian also has to be considered as well. They made it to the finals a year ago and most of that group returns this season. St. Paul has to be mentioned as they return a strong nucleus led by All-CIF outfielder Dwight Tardy.
After that, it's kind of open. La Canda always has a strong program and they'll be in the thick of the action in the Rio Hondo League, The Mission Valley League is down from Division IV as well as the talent pool. With Mountain View hurting from graduation, Arroyo and El Monte are the favorites to win league and maybe do some damage in the postseason.

Re: CIF Favorites?
How bout Morro Bay in D4. Served LAnce Abbott his first loss of the year with his 9-0 record and .23 era? Howd he get that. Served Wheeler of Torrance his first lost and Torrances first home loss all year. How bout his 8-0 record with a .83 era? Next up Charter Oak should be a fun game. MB is the 30 seed and they have knocked off 3 league champs going for the fourth one tommorrow
