Heritage, at 10-0, leads the Division 2 bracket into the playoffs. The Patriots blew out the majority of their opponents, save for a close win over Redlands East Valley in September. They’ll face 4-6 El Toro, which was the No. 2 Sea View selection. Led by quarterback Hank Bachmeier, the 8-2 Murrieta Valley Nighthawks face St. Bonaventure in the first round. A colossal first-round matchup exists in the middle of the bracket between Oaks Christian and La Habra, while Redlands East Valley hosts Great Oak. Norco looks to bounce back from consecutive losses in a first-round matchup against Citrus Hill, while new entry to the Prep2Prep Top 25 Valencia hosts Sherman Oaks Notre Dame. The bracket is rounded out by matches between Arroyo Grance and Westlake, and San Clemente and Chino Hills.

Sleeper team: Oaks Christian last lost in September in a shootout with Murrieta Valley, which the Lions would meet in the semifinals if they advance that far. Oaks Christian’s high-powered offense makes them a great choice as a sleeper team that could find itself in the final.
Predicted title game outcome: Murrieta Valley over Heritage
