5) Orange Lutheran After an undefeated regular season the Lancers had a tough postseason, losing to JSerra in the Trinity League tournament semifinals and then falling to Huntington Beach in the Cif Southern Section Division 1 quarterfinals. But with Cif Southern Section Pitcher of the Year Mitch Knox returning, along with talented Position players such as Cole Roederer, Hunter Howen and Jacob Matlock, Orange Lutheran should be in the mix for a title run next season.
