Lots of our readers wonder why the CIF San Diego Section isn’t included in our Southern California Top 25.

BUT, with that being sad, we listen and today we’ve decided to launch a San Diego-area Top 20 that is based on our proprietary algorithm.
The top team is Mission Hills, which is currently ranked No. 15 in our California Top 25.
