4. Santa Ana, Golden West League #1
Head Coach: Joe Penaflor
Preseason: (11/22 Cap Valley 3-2 Loss(Don't know if this was a scrimmage match- not being reported), 11/28 San Clemente 2-2 T, 12-2 Los Amigos 2-1 T, Edison HS 1-0 loss. Lost their first league match on Friday 2-4 to Ocean View a team they beat earlier in the season 7-0 at home. This puts some doubt in my mind that the team chemistry is good. We will see how they finish out the season.
Key Players:
Forward Ivan Orozco, Ivan Canales, & Jeanmarco Varges.

8. Indio, Desert Valley League #1Recent Scores:
Head Coach: Barry Gardner
Turn around season after losing over 10 matches last year. This year Forward Fernando Perez is having a stellar year having scored 23 goals through 18 matches. Lost first league match on 1-27 to Kennedy HS, that could and should cost them the league championship. One game back with two matches to play before playoffs. We will see how bad they want the league championship?

8. La Sierra, Inland Valley #2
Head Coach: David Eckenrod
A high scoring team that looks like is putting together the entire package at the right time. They have put together a five game winning streak and get to end the season against Valley View. A win could put them in the right frame of mind for the playoffs.

Other Teams for Consideration:
Century League: Foothill & El Mo. Teams are not reporting scores so are a little under the radar.
Sea View League: Mission Viejo. Teams are not reporting scores so another league slipping in under the radar
SouthWestern League: Great Oaks. Well someone updated the scores over the weekend and after the polling I am sure because with Great Oaks 9-2-2 and leading their division they should have been considered for a top 10 spot.
