So I did a real quick run down of Division 7, just to make sure the Ocean League's El Segundo Eagles (7-2, 2-2) were going to make the playoffs. They are lock to win their final game and be the playoff eligible third place team from the Ocean League. Just using the calpreps ratings & projections, I believe they will safely make the playoffs, but will be on the road for the first round. Now there are a LOT of close games in this last week for Division 7 participating teams so a LOT could change, but for the heck of it, since I did this much(or little) research, hear is my WAG bracket for D-7:
#1 South Hills (7-1, 4-0) from West Covina, of the Palomares League
hosts
Linfield Christian (5-4, 2-2) from Temecula, of the Ambassador League
Monrovia (3-6, 3-0) of the Rio Hondo League
hosts
Yorba Linda (7-2, 2-0) of the Crestview League
Burbank (7-2, 6-0) of the Pacific League
hosts
Diamond Ranch (6-3, 3-1) from Pomona, of the Hacienda League
#4 St. Margaret's (7-2, 2-0) from San Juan Capistrano, of the Academy League
hosts
El Segundo (7-2, 2-2) of the Ocean League
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
#3 Palmdale (6-3, 5-1) of the Golden League
hosts
Ayala (5-4, 3-1) from Chino Hills, of the Palomares League
North Torrance (7-2, 4-0) of the Pioneer League
hosts
Don Lugo (7-2, 3-1) from Chino, of the Mt. Baldy League
Pomona (5-4, 3-0) of the Miramonte League
hosts
Fullerton (6-3, 4-0) of the Freeway League
#2 El Modena (7-2, 2-0) from Orange, of the North Hills League
hosts
Huntington Beach (3-6, 2-2) of the Sunset League
One possible change I could see is perhaps swapping Don Lugo and El Segundo. The El Segundo vs. North Torrance contest would be much closer geographically. The Division projects to have 8 league champions with 4 from second place and 4 from eligible third place finishes.
I am listing 3 at-large teams that at least one of them could make the playoffs if something does not go as projected in week 10. I know of at least 1 team projecting to finish first in league, but if they lose, they will fall completely out of any eligible playoff spot.
The 3 that might want to file at-large entry paperwork are:
Warren (5-4, 1-3) from Downey, of the San Gabriel Valley League
Tustin (7-2, 2-2) of the Empire League
Canyon (4-5, 0-2) from Anaheim, of the Crestview League
#1 South Hills (7-1, 4-0) from West Covina, of the Palomares League
hosts
Linfield Christian (5-4, 2-2) from Temecula, of the Ambassador League
Monrovia (3-6, 3-0) of the Rio Hondo League

Burbank (7-2, 6-0) of the Pacific League
