4. Foothill, 23-3 (33)
It seemed unlikely that a team could go undefeated in the Crestview League but the Knights did just that to take league championship.

With TJ Shorts at point guard and their great defense, the Tillers are a top contender in a very-strong Division 1AA.
6. Santa Margarita, 17-7 (27)
If point guard Noah Rasheed is healthy for the playoffs, the Eagles could win 1AA title; they still would be quite good without him.
