Covina Northview remains unbeaten and has given no reason to be removed from the top spot, but Santa Ana Calvary Chapel is still considered the better team by California Wrestling website. Laguna Hills won its 17th consecutive league title with a 77-0 victory over Newport Harbor. Rosemead is a little banged up at some positions, but the Panthers should win the Mission Valley League title today when they face San Gabriel Gabrielino.
