The regular season ends on Friday night and power ratings to determine divisional playoff appointments will follow on Saturday.
St. Augustine lost another first-place vote to Torrey Pines in the weekly Union-Tribune poll, but is number one in the present power ratings, with Torrey Pines third. Vista, which hasn’t played the marquee schedules of the Saints or Torrey Pines, is second in the power ratings.
The eight teams selected for the San Diego Section Open Division playoffs will have first-round byes, while divisions 1-5 will tee it up next week.
St. Augustine remained 12th in the Cal-Hi Sports weekly top 20 and Torrey Pines nudged up one notch to 19th.
Mission Hills remained fourth in the Cal-Hi girls’ ratings, while the Bishop’s anchored at No. 20 for weeks, now is 18th.
Game of the week will be Thursday night at La Jolla Country Day, where the state bubble team Torreys, 15-10, and winners of 5 in a row, will attempt to reverse a 62-53 loss to The Bishop’s, 27-1 and winner of 16 straight, early in the season.
The other girls bubble team is Eastlake (20-6). Foothills Christian (20-5) and Vista (23-3) remain on the bubble in boys’ play.
