2014-15: Torrey Pines Keeps Winning
The world is Torrey Pines’ oyster, for now.
Coach John Olive’s Falcons completed an 8-0 January and have a 10-game winning streak as they visit Rancho Bernardo tonight.
The 21-2 Falcons have six remaining regular-season games against teams with a combined record of 61-65.
None of those opponents, Rancho Bernardo, twice (11-9), Mt. Carmel (12-10), Poway (13-9), Westview (8-14), and Canyon rest (6-14), will be favored.
The Falcons had December losses of 64-47 to Brooklyn Thomas Jefferson and 51-49 to El Camino. The Del Mar school has a 46.30 power rating in Division I, with El Camino (17-4) at 46.24 and San Marcos (20-1) at 46.14.
Win out and Torrey Pines should claim a No. 1 seed.
There are no San Diego teams in Cal-Hi Sports’ state top 20 this week. The Falcons are 24th as selected by Max Preps.
