: : 1.Mater Dei-Brandon Benjamen is the best player in Orange County and will help a very talented Monarch Team to win the Trinity League and be back in the Open Division!
: : 2.Santa Margarita- Has some very good players that should put them in 3rd in the Trinity league.
: : 3, J-Serra-Has one of the best players in Orange County! Sebastian Rancik could dominate a game if he decides to post up, be a great Defender, and Elite rebounder.
: : 4.Los Alamitos is loaded with great guards and plays fast and will press the entire game! Lead by a great player Minter who could be one of the best juniors in the state. The best "Public School" .
: : 5.Fairmont Prep- Has some good International Players, has Athletes and size,and plays a zone,a tough match up for most High School Teams.
: : 6.Pacifica Christian has a good Team that plays well together! C.J. Spillman has D-1 offers and could help them go deep in the playoffs.
: : 7.Canyon-Has the twins who could dominate if they get help from a good supporting cast!
: : 8.La Habra has very good guards and guards win High School Games!
: : 9.Sonora has 3 solid guards and will push La Habra for the "Crown" and a deep C.I.F run.
: : 10.Orange Lutheran is rebuilding, but has some very good pieces to be able to finish mid pack in the Trinity and make a C.I.F run again!
: Thank you Mr Moore for your rankings, whatare your thoughts on some of the Sunset league schools? Edison, Marina, HB, Fountain Valley? any of them be decent this year?
Los Alamitos is the best public Team in the County. Edison should be very good and plays well together! Marina can shoot it and plays fast. Fountain Valley should be good and is well coached. Huntington Beach has some good young talent. Very impressed with Laguna Beach they play very well together, runs some really good sets, and plays hard and smart!CDM has some good young talent and Coach Simco is a good Coach! Newport Harbor seems to always get the most out of a Program, that has a Priority in Volleyball/Swimming/Water Polo. The leagues are divided now and seems like CIF wants to give everyone a chance to get to the playoffs, so think they all have a chance! We like Coaches to load up their Schedule with great competition and elite Teams, but with trying to get over 500 and winning, some schedule easy wins. We will get to some practices and games and keep everyone updated on the Basketball Season! Good luck to everyone this season!
