: : 3 teams are in finals. Awesome league! Congratulations to SJB, MD and Olu to make it to CIF finals.
: You realize that CIF sets that up almost every year. Makes sure that the Trinity League gets taken care of in the playoffs. Mater Dei was better than any of the teams in Division 1 but not good enought for the Open Division. The same with Orange Lutheran. Good school but can't compete with the elites and never will. I am willing to bet that CIF made sure that the cut line between Division 1 and Division 2AA would favor some teams and Orange Lutheran was one of them.
MD, SJB, JS and SM are top D1 teams no doubt. OLu still to small in area to be a sold D1 with Canyon, Foothill, Villa Park to name a few around local area. Also, not everyone has the money nor is Faith based to want to send their kids so D2 is about right for Olu. Kinda stuck in middle. MD really picked it up end of year. Graduation taking a lot from OLu this year.
