1. Long Beach Wilson (SS-Moore)

Most consistent team in the region from the beginning of the season to the end.

2. Peninsula (SS-Bay)

Solid lineup top to bottom, Panthers were a contender at every postseason event.

3. Dana Hills (SS-South Coast)

Had breakthrough round at the right time and won Southern Section title.

4. Palm Desert (SS-Desert Valley)

Aztecs proved what everyone assumed: they play good golf in the desert.

5. Marina (SS-Sunset)

Top-ranked team for most of the season had disappointing section final.

6. Camarillo (SS-Pacific View)

Scorpions will be a force next year: top six players returning.

7. Dos Pueblos (SS-Channel)

Sara Trenschel’s third place at individual finals proves Chargers were for real.
