High School Boys
Here's where we are in the Southern California Boys school leagues as we come down to the final weeks:
Varsity Red
Who finishes first will likely be decided Saturday as 3-0 Cathedral plays 3-0 La Costa Canyon. The losing team will have to worry about the winner of Torrey Pines and Del Norte.
South Carolina’s Boys HS league starts up this weekend with a full slate of games.
Among the notable matchups, Chapin takes on defending state champion South Greenville. South Greenville was an experienced squad last season, and remains so this year, although several seniors have graduated. Chapin, as always, is a contender.
The Kickoff Tournament in Sacramento gets the HS and younger seasons going in Northern California.
The tournament, thanks to grants and donations, has been able to refurbish the fields at Cordova HS in Rancho Cordova, Calif. The fields are in excellent shape and as a result, despite some HS teams holding their own preseason events, the KOT has added teams from last year.
The San Diego Conference of the SoCal Varsity Blue seemed settled after the first weekend, when Valhalla dropped a 12-5 decision to San Marcos, but in fact things were just getting started.
While most Northern California HS teams have been getting one or two preseason games in, or are waiting for the Kickoff Tournament in Sacramento, Pleasanton has been very busy, playing and beating five teams so far.
