Popscout Top Ten – Boys

December 17, 2017
Big Boy Division
12-20-2017 Update

Put up or shut up.  Who’s been in the lab will show, as Popscout begins to take a closer look at the DNA of squads who call themselves ELITE.  Everybody got an elite jersey you feel me.  PopScout Top 10 as of December 20, 2017 715am.

We look at strength of schedule, opponent win/loss, coaching qualities, various polls, our own feel for the game, and top players on a team, who may be able to enter the zone and make it happen – on any given night.

Looking in (in order):

1. Santa Margarita
2. Poly (Riverside)
3. Cantwell Sacred Heart
4. St. Bernard
5. St. John Bosco
6. Crespi
7. Long Beach Poly
8. Redondo Union
9. Alemany
10. Etiwanda
11. Taft
12. Corona Centennial
13. Roosevelt (Eastvalle)
14. Mayfair
15. Beverly Hills
16. Chino Hills
17. Loyola
18. Blair (Pasadena)
    

We went in and re-evaluated based on a few new coaches  – and veteran coaches –  who’ve stepped on the scene and brought their own passion and knowledge to their teams – or continue to keep the high level of play, regardless of the cards they’re dealt.  As a result, Blair (Pasadena), St, Anthony, Poly(Riverside), and Loyola have cracked the code, getting players to play at a high level under their philosophy of the game.
