St. John Bosco‘s trip to Hawaii proved that the Braves should be okay in 2014.
The Braves, who opened with an impressive showing against St. Louis, is our pick as the #1 team in Southern California in our preseason Top 20. Servite, which opens with nationally-ranked Bishop Gorman from Nevada, should give the Braves a run for their money along with Mater Dei this year in the rankings and battle it out for the Trinity League title. Those three teams find themselves in the top five to start the season.
St. John Bosco is ranked #6 in our preseason national rankings, while Servite is #22.
