1) El Camino (Division 1, Oceanside)

Head Coach: Ray Johnson (25th Year)

Last year’s record: 31 – 3 (10 – 0, 1st)

Last year’s playoffs: Won CIF D-1 Championship; Lost in State 2nd Round.

Key players: Marquis Navarre (Jr, 5’10”), D’Andre James (Sr, 6’02”), Danny Warnemunde (Sr, 6’03”),

Losses to overcome: Justin Armstrong (Columbia University), Gyno Pomare (University of San Diego),

James Daniels (Brown University), Brad Alkazin (Mira Costa CC), Craig Austin (Arizona State)

Summary: 4 Division 1 college players will be impossible to replace, but Wildcats should surprise with quick, scrappy group. Is looking to return to CIF Championship for 4th consecutive year.

2) Vista (Division 1, Vista)

Head Coach: Ryan Wooten (3rd Year)

Last year’s record: 12 – 16 (3 – 7, 5th in Palomar)

Last year’s playoffs: Lost in 1st Round.

Key players: Kenny Lawson (Jr, 6’09”), Darin Brown (Sr, 5’11”), Michael Wright (Sr, 5’10”)

Losses to overcome: Brian Reeves (graduation), David Flores (graduation), Frank Klopp (graduation)

Summary: Lawson has some potential in the paint, but Brown and Wright must produce on the perimeter for the Panthers to challenge for the league crown.

3) Carlsbad (Division 1, Carlsbad)

Head Coach: Scott Ogden (5th year)

Last year’s record: 16 – 11 (6 – 4, 3rd)

Last year’s playoffs: Lost in 1st Round.

Key players: Thomas Kearns (Sr, 6’02”), Korey Moore (Sr, 6’02”)

Losses to overcome: Matt Alsina (graduation), Ricky Martinez (graduation), Mark Sammons (graduation)

Summary: Kearns and Moore give the Lancers some experience but a lack of size will be hard to overcome.

4) Rancho Buena Vista (Division 1, Vista)

Head Coach: Terry Miller (4th Year)

Last year’s record: 7 – 21 (1 – 9, 6th in Palomar)

Last year’s playoffs: None

Key players: Cameron Harris (Sr, 6’05”)

Losses to overcome: Bryon Wesley (Palomar CC)

Summary: The rebuilding continues for the Longhorns. Loss of high scoring Wesley hurts, but Harris gives RBV an inside presence.

5) Fallbrook (Division 1, Fallbrook)

Head Coach: Mike West (6th Year)

Last year’s record: 8 – 19 (2 – 8, 5th)

Last year’s playoffs: None

Key players: Mike Tull (Jr, 6’04”), Matt Cecil (Sr, 5’11”), Clay McFerran (Sr, 5’11”)

Losses to overcome: Jake Jorde (graduation)

Summary: Tull gives the Warriors some size inside, but there are question marks on the perimeter.

6) Oceanside (Division 2, Oceanside)

Head Coach: Brad Hollingsworth (5th Year)

Last year’s record: 3 – 23 (0 – 10, 6th)

Last year’s playoffs: None

Key players: Louis Hall (Sr, 6’03”), Russell Tialavea (Sr, 6’04”)

Losses to overcome: Toki Lewis (graduation)

Summary: Should be improved from a year ago, but the Pirates are still young as 5 sophomores will suit up.

Player of the Year: Marquis Navarre (El Camino)

All-Avocado League: Cameron Harris (Rancho Buena Vista)

Thomas Kearns (Carlsbad

Kenny Lawson (Vista)

Marquis Navarre (El Camino)

Danny Warnemunde (El Camino)

1) La Costa Canyon (Division 1, La Costa Canyon)

Head Coach: Dave Cassaw (6th Year)

Last year’s record: 21 – 8 (7 – 3, 2nd in Avocado)

Last year’s playoffs: Lost in Semi-finals.

Key players: Chase Budinger (Jr, 6’07”), Jeremy Wustman (Sr, 6’03”), Kris Corso (So, 5’10”)

Losses to overcome: Peter Wofford (Mira Costa CC), Kris Jensen (graduation), Doug Konoskie (graduation)

Summary: Graduation hurt the Mavericks, but Budinger is a very talented player who will be a match-up nightmare. If LCC can develop some secondary scoring, then the Mavericks should win the Division 1 CIF title.

2) Torrey Pines (Division 1, Del Mar)

Head Coach: John Olive (8th Year)

Last year’s record: 14 – 14 (7 – 3, 2nd)

Last year’s playoffs: Lost in 1st Round.

Key players: J.J. Anderson (Jr, 6’04”), Michael Laughlin (Sr, 6’08”)

Losses to overcome: Jordan Fish (transferred to Nebraska)

Summary: The Falcons will be greatly improved from a year ago. Tandem of Anderson and Laughlin is a quality inside-outside combination. Lack of athleticism and playmaking on the perimeter may prevent Torrey Pines from winning it all.

3) Poway (Division 1, Poway)

Head Coach: Kyle Armstrong (3rd Year)

Last year’s record: 17 – 13 (5 – 5, 4th)

Last year’s playoffs: Lost in Quarterfinals.

Key players: Todd Lowenthal (Jr, 6’01”), Andy McMillin (Sr, 6’02”), Lamar Taylor (Sr, 6’05”), Gabe Adler (So, 6’03”)

Losses to overcome: Brett Lowenthal (Univ. of California)

Summary: Lowenthal leads a talented group for Poway. The Titans have the potential to be a major factor at the end of the year, but must get production from McMillin and Taylor to be a real force.

4) Rancho Bernardo (Division 1, Rancho Bernardo)

Head Coach: Kevin Keller (4th Year)

Last year’s record: 20 – 9 (8 – 2, 1st)

Last year’s playoffs: Lost in Quarterfinals.

Key players: Zach Miller (Sr, 6’08”)

Losses to overcome: Andrew Olson (Amherst College), Justin Kisner (Linfield College), Terrence Cooks (transferred to Escondido),

Lamar Taylor (transferred to Poway)

Summary: Miller is a solid post player, but guard play overall is questionable. Broncos look to be a little down this year, while the Palomar league in general will be better.

5) Westview (Division 2, Rancho Penasquitos)

Head Coach: David Delaney (3rd Year)

Last year’s record: 6 – 21 (3 – 7, tied for 5th in Valley)

Last year’s playoffs: None

Key players: Warren Scott (Sr, 6’03”), Nolan Bauer (Sr, 6’03”), Jason Dodson (Sr, 5’09”), Adam Chaimowitz (Jr, 6’00”)

Losses to overcome: None

Summary: Westview should be improved, but move to a very tough Palomar League will be rough experience. Bauer, Scott, and Chaimowitz are experienced, solid players that must overachieve for Wolverines to make their first ever playoff appearance.

6) Mt. Carmel (Division 2, Rancho Penasquitos)

Head Coach: Jake McNeely (1st Year)

Last year’s record: 21 – 9 (5 – 5, 4th in Avocado)

Last year’s playoffs: Lost in D-1 Semi-finals.

Key players: C.J. Reed (Sr, 6’03”)

Losses to overcome: Eric Sweeney (graduation), Allan DeGuzman (graduation), Jon Girten (graduation)

Summary: It will be a long year for the Sundevils as a new team and a new coach take over.

Player of the Year: Chase Budinger (La Costa Canyon)

All-Palomar League: J.J. Anderson (Torrey Pines)

Chase Budinger (La Costa Canyon)

Michael Laughlin (Torrey Pines)

Todd Lowenthal (Poway)

Zach Miller (Rancho Bernardo)

1) Escondido (Division 1, Escondido)

Head Coach: Paul Baldwin (7th Year)

Last year’s record: 24 – 9 (9 – 1, 1st)

Last year’s playoffs: Won CIF D-2 Championship; Lost in State 2nd Round.

Key players: Matt Adams (Sr, 6’00”), Kevin Small (Sr, 6’04”), Terrence Cooks (Sr, 6’05”), Jose Orona (Sr, 5’10”)

Losses to overcome: Lorenzo Keeler (Winchendon Prep School), Chris Williams (graduation), Djordje Jovanic (graduation)

Summary: Graduation losses will be hard to overcome, but transfers of Orona and Cooks will be significant additions. Adams (20.8 ppg) is a solid scorer while Small is an experienced presence inside for the Cougars.

2) Orange Glen (Division 2, Escondido)

Head Coach: Corey Hogue (1st Year)

Last year’s record: 14 – 14 (4 – 6, 4th)

Last year’s playoffs: Lost in 1st Round.

Key players: John Cottey (Sr, 6’01”), Ryan Dew (Sr, 5’08”), Geoff Smith (Sr, 6’02”)

Losses to overcome: Casey Hutchinson (graduation)

Summary: Cottey (18.2 ppg) is an underappreciated player that leads an experienced group for the Patriots. They should battle Escondido for the league title.

3) Ramona (Division 2, Ramona)

Head Coach: Ken Scheib (3rd Year)

Last year’s record: 19 – 10 (6 – 4, 2nd)

Last year’s playoffs: Lost in Quarterfinals.

Key players: Joey Bess (Sr, 6’00”), Casey Hight (Sr, 6’01”)

Losses to overcome: Mike Perram (Grossmont JC), Topher Brazle (graduation)

Summary: Perram is a major loss for the Bulldogs, but Bess-Hight backcourt is solid. Lack of a go-to guy will be hard to overcome.

4) San Marcos (Division 2, San Marcos)

Head Coach: Brady Stout (5th Year)

Last year’s record: 16 – 13 (6 – 4, 3rd in Palomar)

Last year’s playoffs: Lost in 1st Round.

Key players: Alex Bemanian (Sr, 6’04”), Tremaine Ford (Sr, 6’05”)

Losses to overcome: Tanner Moore (graduation), Logan Moore (graduation), Jose Orona (transferred to Escondido)

Summary: Graduation left a void for San Marcos. Bemanian and Ford should give the Knights an inside presence, but the lack of quality perimeter play will hurt.

5) San Pasqual (Division 2, Escondido)

Head Coach: Rich Sullivan (2nd Year)

Last year’s record: 8 – 18 (3 – 7, tied for 5th)

Last year’s playoffs: None

Key players: Wesley Monnell (Sr, 5’07”), Alex Sanchez (Sr, 6’01”), Devin Wada (Jr, 5’08”), Matt Vitkus (Jr, 6’00”)

Losses to overcome: Craig Hardy (graduation), Mickell Harrell (graduation)

Summary: Guard play should be solid, but lack of inside quality will make it an uphill climb for the Eagles.

6) Mission Hills (Division 3, San Marcos)

Head Coach: Curtis Hofmeister (1st Year)

Last year’s record: None

Last year’s playoffs: None

Key players: Erik Casarez (Jr, 5’10”), Dan Tice (Jr, 6’07”), Diarmen Underwood (So, 6’00”)

Losses to overcome: None

Summary: The cupboard is not bare as the Grizzlies open up their first year of Varsity play. Lack of experience will be biggest challenge, but talent should improve as the season progresses.

7) Valley Center (Division 3, Valley Center)

Head Coach: Mike Schanze (3rd Year)

Last year’s record: 9 – 18 (5 – 5, 3rd)

Last year’s playoffs: None

Key players: Jordan Armstrong (Sr, 6’01”)

Losses to overcome: A.J. Reilly (graduation), Austin Pickering (graduation), Kevin Craft (football at San Diego State)

Summary: Loss of high scoring Reilly (29.5 ppg) will hurt. Armstrong will lead a more balanced effort for the Jaguars.

Player of the Year: Matt Adams (Escondido)

All-Valley League: Matt Adams (Escondido)

Alex Bemanian (San Marcos)

John Cottey (Orange Glen)

Casey Hight (Ramona)

Kevin Small (Escondido)

1) St. Augustine (Division 3, San Diego)

Head Coach: Mike Haupt (10th Year)

Last year’s record: 16 – 13 (6 – 4, tied for 2nd)

Last year’s playoffs: Lost in Semi-finals.

Key players: Ryan Warnock (Sr, 6’01”), James Pinkney (Sr, 6’06”), Andre Hardy (Sr, 6’05”), Robert Hayes (So, 5’10”)

Losses to overcome: T.J. Topercer (transferred to Arizona), Marcel Kasmer (graduation)

Summary: A lot of internal friction hurt the Saints a year ago, but they should be primed to make a CIF run this year. Hardy and Pinkney are versatile inside-outside players with whom it will be difficult to match up.

2) University (Division 3, Linda Vista)

Head Coach: Demetrius Laffitte (4th Year)

Last year’s record: 25 – 7 (9 – 1, 1st)

Last year’s playoffs: Lost in CIF D-3 Championship; Lost in State 1st Round.

Key players: Stanley Hoenig (Sr, 5’10”), Thad Jackson (Jr, 6’06”), Ed Howell (Jr, 6’07”), Demetrius Monroe (Jr, 6’08”),

Demetrius Sumler (Jr, 6’00”)

Losses to overcome: Rico Tucker (Univ. of Minnesota), Severin Gates (Odessa JC), Jamelle Horne (transferred to Hoover)

Summary: Loss of Tucker will hurt, but the Dons have enough talent and size to overcome it. Guard play will determine if they can outlast St. Augustine.

3) Scripps Ranch (Division 2, Scripps Ranch)

Head Coach: John King (12th Year)

Last year’s record: 7 – 19 (4 – 6, 5th)

Last year’s playoffs: None

Key players: Marcus Wilson (Jr, 6’03”), Gerald McLemore (So, 6’03”), Kenton Walker (So, 6’07”),

A.J. Flournoy (So, 6’02”)

Losses to overcome: Jon Kargas (Holy Names University)

Summary: Walker is a big addition for Scripps Ranch and should complement McLemore and Wilson well. If the Falcons can find a dependable point guard, then they should make some noise in Division 2.

4) University City (Division 2, La Jolla)

Head Coach: Terry Stonebreaker (1st Year)

Last year’s record: 17 – 10 (5 – 5, 4th)

Last year’s playoffs: Lost in Semi-finals.

Key players: Tim Island (Sr, 6’05”)

Losses to overcome: Austin Fowler (track at Long Beach State)

Summary: Island is a quality scorer. Unfortunately, lack of experience will doom the Centurions.

5) Mission Bay (Division 3, Mission Bay)

Head Coach: Dennis Kane (2nd Year)

Last year’s record: 2 – 17 (0 – 10, 6th)

Last year’s playoffs: Lost in 1st Round.

Key players: Anthony Houston (Jr, 6’05”), Dion Anderson (So, 6’03”)

Losses to overcome: None

Summary: Buccaneers should be improved from a year ago, but unfortunately it probably won’t be enough to contend with the better teams in league.

6) La Jolla (Division 3, La Jolla)

Head Coach: Kamal Assaf (1st Year)

Last year’s record: 14 – 13 (6 – 4, tied for 2nd)

Last year’s playoffs: Lost in Semi-finals.

Key players: Martin Waldon (Sr, 6’01”), Jack Peterson (So, 5’09”), Darren Green (Jr, 5’11”), Spencer Moyer (Fr, 5’10”)

Losses to overcome: Grayson Moyer (Humboldt State), Michael Stark (graduation), Cooper Waddell (graduation)

Summary: Loss of Moyer is huge and impossible to overcome. Green is a solid player, but Waldon will need to step up if the Vikings hope to return to the playoffs.

Player of the Year: Andre Hardy (St. Augustine)

All-Western League: Andre Hardy (St. Augustine)

Stanley Hoenig (University)

Tim Island (University City)

Gerald McLemore (Scripps Ranch)

James Pinkney (St. Augustine)

1) San Diego (Division 1, San Diego)

Head Coach: Curtis McGlown (2nd Year)

Last year’s record: 27 – 5 (11 – 1, 1st)

Last year’s playoffs: Lost in CIF D-1 Championship.

Key players: Anton Hollingsworth (Sr, 6’03”), Jakari Blake (Sr, 6’00”), Isaiah Davis (So, 5’11”), Willie Basey (So, 6’05”)

Losses to overcome: Tito Littleton (San Diego CC), Anthony Palmer (San Diego CC), Chauncey Wiseman (Cochise JC)

Summary: Graduation losses will hurt the Cavers come playoff time, but Hollingsworth is talented enough for San Diego to win their 5th consecutive league crown.

2) Mira Mesa (Division 1, Mira Mesa)

Head Coach: Dan Regas (6th Year)

Last year’s record: 11 – 18 (4 – 8, 5th)

Last year’s playoffs: Lost in 1st Round.

Key players: Danny Nguyen (Sr, 5’09”), Tyler Stewart (Sr, 6’03”)

Losses to overcome: Marquis Moore (transferred to Pennsylvania), Yohan Penny (graduation), Jason Yhost (graduation),

Ellis Barros (transferred to Horizon), Sven Claessen (transferred to Iceland)

Summary: The Marauders lost a lot of size, but have the nucleus to be a contender for the league title. Stewart is a solid player who should blossom this year.

3) Morse (Division 1, San Diego)

Head Coach: Jeff Harper (2nd Year)

Last year’s record: 23 – 6 (10 – 2, 2nd)

Last year’s playoffs: Lost in Quarterfinals.

Key players: Alex Butcher (Sr, 5’11”), Kevin Dale (So, 6’03”), Tim Chisholm (Sr, 6’03”)

Losses to overcome: Garren Cunningham (Biola University), Andre Johnson (graduation), William Williams (graduation)

Summary: Graduation losses will be hard to overcome particularly inside, but Butcher is an experienced guard who will keep the Tigers in most games.

4) Point Loma (Division 2, Pt. Loma)

Head Coach: Joe Zamora (6th Year)

Last year’s record: 11 – 14 (7 – 5, 3rd)

Last year’s playoffs: Lost in 1st Round.

Key players: Brice Maslankowski (Sr, 6’01”), McCall Wollman (Sr, 6’02”)

Losses to overcome: Chike Ekweozor (Utah Valley State), Antoine McNeill (graduation)

Summary: Wollman and Maslankowski form a solid backcourt, but the Pointers lack the size to compete for the league crown.

5) Serra (Division 2, Tierrasanta)

Head Coach: John Pisapia (1st Year)

Last year’s record: 13 – 17 (5 – 7, 4th)

Last year’s playoffs: Lost in Semi-finals.

Key players: Edward Saddler (Sr, 6’01”), Ronnell Williams (Sr, 5’11”), Lashard Anderson (So, 5’09”)

Losses to overcome: Desi Burt (track at Cal State LA), Jamal Landrum (transferred to Las Vegas)

Summary: A lack of size and experience will turn this into a rebuilding year for the Conquistadors.

6) Kearny (Division 3, Kearny Mesa)

Head Coach: Carl Bronson (3rd Year)

Last year’s record: 6 – 17 (3 – 9, 6th)

Last year’s playoffs: None

Key players: Brandon Desing (Sr, 6’00”), Robert Brown (Sr, 6’01”), Haroun Arefi (Sr, 6’03”)

Losses to overcome: Wilfredo Vasquez (graduation), Dominique Gilbert (graduation)

Summary: The Komets lack size but do have an experienced nucleus returning and could sneak up on some teams.

7) Patrick Henry (Division 2, Allied Gardens)

Head Coach: Ted Tibbs (8th Year)

Last year’s record: 6 – 20 (2 – 10, 7th)

Last year’s playoffs: None

Key players: Whitney Sheppard (Sr, 6’00”), Nick Richardson (So, 5’11”)

Losses to overcome: Mario Brunker (graduation), Jon Shafer (graduation)

Summary: Sheppard is a solid player, but the Patriots will continue to struggle this year.

Player of the Year: Antwon Hollingsworth (San Diego)

ll-Eastern League: Jakari Blake (San Diego)

Alex Butcher (Morse)

Antwon Hollingsworth (San Diego)

Tyler Stewart (Mira Mesa)

McCall Wollman (Point Loma)

1) Hoover (Division 2, San Diego)

Head Coach: Ollie Goulston (2nd Year)

Last year’s record: 24 – 10 (10 – 0, 1st)

Last year’s playoffs: Lost in CIF D-2 Championship; Lost in State 1st Round.

Key players: JayDee Luster (So, 5’09”), Todd Doxey (So, 6’01”), Ryon White (Jr, 6’08”), Jamelle Horne (So, 6’07”),

Marcus Shannon (So, 6’03”), Keshaun King (Sr, 6’04”)

Losses to overcome: Mark Hall (Long Beach State), Kenneth Maye (LA Trade Tech)

Summary: Hoover will no longer sneak up on people but a very talented group returns. Luster (18.7 ppg) and Horne form a big-time duo, while White is a very good inside presence. The Cardinals should make another serious run at

the Division 2 CIF title.

2) Crawford (Division 3, San Diego)

Head Coach: Terry Tucker (1st Year)

Last year’s record: 14 – 14 (6 – 4, 3rd)

Last year’s playoffs: Lost in Quarterfinals.

Key players: Maurice Clady (Sr, 5’09”), Jabary Lemmons (Sr, 6’03”), Tyrone Shelley (So, 6’05”), Tyler Tucker (So, 5’09”),

Jamil McGuire (Sr, 6’03”)

Losses to overcome: Jarrod West (graduation), Tethloc Tut (North Park University), Jeremie Haynie (graduation)

Summary: Crawford has a talented nucleus with the transfers of Shelley (28.5 ppg) and McGuire. The Colts should be a contender in Division 3, and give Hoover a run for the league title.

3) Clairemont (Division 3, Clairemont)

Head Coach: Brian Keiser (3rd Year)

Last year’s record: 13 – 16 (5 – 5, 4th)

Last year’s playoffs: Lost in 1st Round.

Key players: Kyle Siskowic (Sr, 6’02”), David Olson (Sr, 6’07”), Kenny Welch (Jr, 6’04”), Travis Negron (Sr, 5’11”)

Losses to overcome: Kenny Barker (Univ. of Alaska, Fairbanks), Dominic Stafford (graduation)

Summary: Loss of Barker is significant, but the Chieftains do have some talent. If Olson and Welch can step it up, then Clairemont can make the playoffs.

4) Coronado (Division 4, Coronado)

Head Coach: Sandy Dillon (12th Year)

Last year’s record: 21 – 8 (7 – 3, 2nd)

Last year’s playoffs: Lost in Semi-finals.

Key players: Kevin Couture (Jr, 6’00”), Reid McLean (Sr, 6’01”), Bryan Reed (Jr, 6’05”)

Losses to overcome: Tony Moore (graduation), Brett Milke (graduation), Jimmy Harrison (graduation)

Head Coach: Mike Jones (1st Year)

Last year’s record: 6 – 17 (1 – 9, tied for 5th)

Last year’s playoffs: Lost in 1st Round.

Key players: Terrance Long (Sr, 5’11”), Mychal Creedan (Sr, 6’01”), Sean Douglas (Jr, 6’06”)

Losses to overcome: Nelson Bavongkhoung (graduation), Dante Dunaway (graduation)

6) Christian (Division 4, El Cajon)

Key players: Daryl Anderson (Sr, 5’09”), Jayson Towns (Sr, 6’00”)

Losses to overcome: DeMarco Sampson (football at San Diego State), Andre Phillip (transferred to Temecula),

Trojans.

Last year’s record: 0 – 21 (0 – 13, 5th)

Last year’s playoffs: None

Raymond Williams (Jr, 5’07”), Wesley Davis (Jr, 6’02”), Lionel Ball (Jr, 6’03”)

Losses to overcome: Camilo Martinez (graduation), Ricky Bailey (graduation)

Summary: The Cougars return a strong nucleus led by the Williams brothers on the perimeter and Cunningham in the paint. They are the favorite for the D-2 title and should challenge for the top spot in San Diego overall.

Last year’s record: 20 – 8 (7 – 3, tied for 2nd)

Losses to overcome: Marlon Pierce (Cuyamaca CC), Eric Robinson (graduation)

Head Coach: Zach Peck (5th Year)

Last year’s record: 13 – 15 (5 – 5, 4th)

night.

Last year’s record: 6 – 21 (1 – 9, tied for 5th)

Key players: James Clark (Sr, 5’08”), Ryan Snyder (Sr, 6’01”), David Baxter (Sr, 5’10”)

Last year’s record: 11 – 18 (1 – 9, tied for 5th)

Losses to overcome: Quenton Byers (Grossmont CC), Robert Walton (Warner Pacific College),

Matthew LaGrone (transferred to H-Town)

Summary: The Panthers should be better than a year ago, and all that meant was a Division 4 Championship. Robinson is the league’s best player, and combined with Jones will form a very good backcourt. The inside presence of Jeter should propel Horizon to another Section Championship.

2) Francis Parker (Division 4, Linda Vista)

Head Coach: Ryan Meier (3rd Year)

Last year’s record: 22 – 6 (9 – 2, tied for 1st)

Last year’s playoffs: Lost in Semi-finals.

Garrett Muagututia (Jr, 6’05”), Jerome Bacho (Jr, 5’08”), Kevin Condon (Fr, 6’04”)

Losses to overcome: None

Summary: Last year, Francis Parker was arguably the best team not to make a CIF Championship. The Lancers hope to erase that memory behind an improved and experienced group. The big question is can they beat Horizon when it counts?

3) Bishop’s (Division 4, La Jolla)

Head Coach: Tom Tarantino (5th Year)

Last year’s record: 19 – 11 (6 – 5, 4th)

Last year’s playoffs: Lost in CIF D-4 Championship; Lost in State 1st Round.

Key players: Eric Moore (Sr, 6’03”), Gyan Alexander (Sr, 6’00”)

Last year’s record: 17 – 10 (7 – 4, 3rd)

Head Coach: Eric Romer (2nd Year)

Last year’s record: (1 – 10)

Last year’s playoffs: Lost in 1st Round.

Losses to overcome: Nick Corso (Cal State, Monterrey Bay), Ryan Alexander (graduation), A.J. Buell (graduation)

2) Calvin Christian (Division 5, Escondido)

Head Coach: Kevin Veenstra (4th Year)

Last year’s record: 14 – 14 (5 – 7, 2nd)

Last year’s playoffs: Lost in Semi-finals.

Head Coach: Bobby Huggins (8th Year)

Last year’s record: 9 – 11 (3 – 7, 3rd)

Last year’s playoffs: Lost in Quarterfinals.

Key players: Jake Peek (Jr, 6’02”), John Wilson (Sr, 6’03”), Harry Rivera (Jr, 6’06”)

Last year’s playoffs: Lost in CIF D-5 Championship; Lost in State 1st Round.
