In boys’, the top division is I-AA and is led by Mater Dei. Other top schools are Pasadena, Dominguez, Etiwanda, Long Beach Poly, Riverside King and Los Alamitos.
In Division I-A, top schools are Capistrano Valley, Los Osos, Corona Centennial and Mission Viejo. In Division II-A, Los Angeles Loyola gets to compete against La Mirada, Mayfair, Santa Barbara and Simi Valley.
Harvard-Westlake drops to Division III-A and will compete with Brea Olinda, Oak Park, Sonora and Twentynine Palms. Campbell Hall will be in III-AA and face Anaheim Canyon, Hart, La Canada, Santa Margarita and St. John Bosco, much bigger schools.
Crespi, expected to have a strong team, drops to Division IV-A and will face the likes of El Segundo, Orange Lutheran, Muir and Price.
