The San Diego Section’s Big 4 of Open Division teams became a Big 5, when La Jolla Country eclipsed all with a dominating run through the state Division III playoffs.
The Torreys (23-13) were the only area squad to make it to the state level, where they defeated San Francisco University, 67-39, after Foothills Christian (24-7) was eliminated in the second round of the Southern California Open Division regional and Torrey Pines (25-7), Mission Bay (18-13), and St. Augustine (22-8)Â were dismissed in the first round
The respected Cal-Hi Sports newsletter acknowledged two in its final Top 40:Â Torrey Pines finished 19th and Foothills Christian 21st.
Foothills was ranked 13th by the Max Preps computer service and Torrey Pines was 29th, St. Augustine 41st, Country Day 52nd, and Mission Bay 86th.
Cathedral Catholic, the last team to beat La Jolla Country Day, in the San Diego Section playoffs, was 60th with a 24-10 record.
Why do you think LJCD wasn’t in CalHi top 40 while being State D3 Champions ?
I thought about mentioning that. I also thought Mark Tennis, the Cal-Hi Sports honcho, would rank down to 50 teams. I think the reason they were left out probably was because they lost 13 games.
I thought about mentioning that but I’m guessing they were left out because they lost 13 games and there were D-I and D-II teams ahead of the Torreys. P.S.: I’ll have my first track story later today.
