San Diego County Preseason Top 10

Every year we see the San Diego Section teams improving and gaining ground on other sections in the state. This year the San Diego section has some of the top teams in the state and if not some of the top teams in the country. With that said, we believe that we will have a solid 3 to 4 teams ranked within the top 25 in the state this season. That will make up for some good matchups that the fans can go watch and get their money's worth.
