Coaches' predicted order of finish
1. Cypress
Comment: The Centurions could be in the upper half of the county top 10 all season.
2. Loara
Comment: This could be one of the better Saxons teams in years, with plenty of talented returnees.
3. Katella
Comment: The Knights already proved they could compete with a victory over then-national No. 1 Long Beach Wilson.
4. Pacifica
Comment: There might be a good drop from the top three teams in the league to the next three, but Pacifica could make a run at a playoff berth.
5. Kennedy
Comment: Pitching should be fine, but the Irish need to find some offense.
6. Valencia
Comment: The Tigers have a veteran pitching staff, but scoring runs might be a challenge.
