2017-18 Week 10: Contenders Await Playoff Seeds

The dog days of the season will suddenly become the stretch run Saturday, when pairings, fueled by the ratings system associated with Max Preps, will be announced by the San Diego Section.

Foothills Christian appears to have a lock on the regular-season Top 10 ratings, which will be announced next week.

The Knights, with St. Augustine transfer Taeshon Cherry averaging 22.6 points and 11.7 rebounds, will be shooting for the local top seed and, down the road, a berth in the state Open Division playoffs.

Foothills, No. 1 in San Diego, followed by Torrey Pines and Mission Bay, remained No. 9 and Mission Bay 12th in the weekly Cal-Hi Sports rankings.  Torrey Pines finally got into the mix at No. 20.

La Jolla Country Day is 16th in Cal-Hi’s Girls ratings.  Mount Miguel and Mission Hills are on the bubble.

I vote for Torrey Pines every week as No. 1.  The Falcons are hamstrung by a 69-68 loss to St. Augustine and 74-73 defeat to Brighton of Salt Lake City, Utah, in their Christmas tournament.

Torrey Pines coach John Olive, in his 21st season of repeated success, missed both of the losses with a bout of the flu.  Olive’s club continues to dominate the Avocado League.

The Falcons beat Sage Creek, 65-40, on Valentine’s Day and have won their last 52 league games.  They finish the regular season Friday night against La Costa Canyon, a 69-50 loser to the Falcons in the first round.
