State Championship WAVE 3 has basically exploded, with kids going to Empire, Ducks, Kings for their major year.
WAVE AA out of Artesia will have only have a couple of survivors from WAVE 3, but they pulled off a big steal of a Kings goalie.
Ducks got the Wave 3 top line, and they have one good goalie, but after that the depth goes off a cliff.
Labor Day will be interesting. My inexpert guess is that Bears will come out strong and maybe OC, but there will be a lot of parity and every game will count -- which is how it should be.
Wave AA1 will surprise you, and Ducks will disappoint. The temperature of the politics remains to be seen.
