(Team records through Sunday.)

1. LA SALLE (16-1)

The Lancers have played so well they were ranked No. 4 in the CIF Southern Section’s first in-season rankings. They have taken care of business against some of the SGV’s top teams, beating Flintridge Prep and Bonita. The big test is how they will fare in the Del Rey League after finishing third last year.

2. FLINTRIDGE PREP (11-1)

The Wolves were undefeated before a 54-44 loss to La Salle in the semifinals of the Glendora tournament. They’re already 4-0 in the Prep League and won’t have many more challenging tests before the playoffs. They were ranked ninth in the CIF Southern Section’s first in-season rankings and look like a lock for the Division 1 playoffs.

The Tartans rebounded well from a loss to nationally ranked Sierra Canyon in the opener of their tournament by winning their next three games to win the consolation title.

4. BONITA (14-4)

The Bearcats went toe-to-toe with La Salle for much of last week’s game and were tied at half before losing 48-39. Lexi Mercado has shot the ball well and they’re hoping their schedule keeps them sharp for the Palomares League, where they have a tough road game Tuesday at Claremont.

The Brahmas have played only nine games and havn’t played since a Dec. 19 loss to Bonita, 54-41, in the Palomares League opener. They return with a tough game Tuesday at Glendora followed by a game against Ayala. The Brahmas have a solid team, but the Palomares League is tough.
