Torrey Pines and San Marcos are on the cusp of becoming the fifth and sixth teams in San Diego County history to complete undefeated regular seasons. (Editor’s note:Â Challenges and additions to this stat welcomed.)
Hoover was 24-0 in the 1959-60 regular season and got to the Southern California semifinals before bowing to Anaheim, 39-34. Mount Miguel was 28-0 and went on to the San Diego Section championship and 32-0 in 1967-68. Helix was 29-0 and finished 33-0 in 1969-70, and Kearny was 28-0 and went to 32-0 in 1973-74.
The Falcons (24-0) finish this week with a Avocado (actually, Coastal) League, home-and-home series with La Costa Canyon (8-7). San Marcos (22-0) has a couple tough Palomar League jousts with 16-5 Mission Hills, its neighborhood rival.
Next week’s San Diego Section Open Division playoffs will have a bracket of eight teams. No matter how those eliminations play out, all eight squads will advance to the eight-team Southern California playoffs.
