Although Hart, which went 6-3-1 in league last season to share the title with Saugus, considers itself a contender for another title, the Indians aren't calling themselves favorites. ``In soccer, I don't think there is a favorite,'' Robert Ciccone said. ``I played for several years, and there's so many 1-0 games. It's hard to predict. As long as I've been coaching here, it's always been close in this league. Between first and fourth, its only a few-point differential. ``Canyon is always strong. Valencia and Saugus are solid and have some young players coming up. ... Everyone is a contender. Of course, we'd like to be the one to win it.''
