The bad news for Flintridge Sacred Heart opponents, however, is that despite a few notable changes, so much remains the same for the Tologs, who went 25-3 last season. Flintridge Sacred Heart returns seven of nine of last year's core players, including four starters, making the Tologs the Daily News' top-ranked team and a favorite to ensure area teams are not left out of championship weekend for a second consecutive year. ``With everyone they have back, they're the top team,'' Harvard-Westlake of Studio City coach Jess jesse, jess a leather strap placed around each shank of a hawk used for hunting, for the attachment of a leash.

The competition should remain tough for the Tologs during Mission League play. Harvard-Westlake, once a regular in the state playoffs, missed the postseason for the first time in program history last year, but has a talented young group led by Katherine Quinn and Brittany Julian that is capable of restoring the Wolverines to prominence. ``Harvard-Westlake and Flintridge are going to be really tough to beat,'' said Notre Dame Notre Dame IPA: [nɔtʁ dam] is French for Our Lady, referring to the Virgin Mary.

Defending Foothill champion Valencia, anchored by UC Irvine-bound setter Taryn Robertson, returns the core of a lineup that reached the Div. I-AA quarterfinals. New coaches at Canyon, Saugus and Hart of Newhall leave some uncertainty about the rest of the league, but last year's runner-up Canyon has high expectations with five returnees.

Verdugo Hills, Chatsworth and Granada Hills, all eliminated in the quarterfinals, were the only Valley representatives to advance past the second round of last year's City playoffs. Taft of Woodland Hills should join that group this year as a top threat from the West Valley League. Verdugo Hills, which cruised to an undefeated Sunset Six season before being eliminated by Carson in last year's quarterfinals, features the area's only two returning All-City players in senior middle blocker Crystal Perryman and senior setter Jennifer Espinolda. The Dons will get a good idea of where they rank when they play nonleague matches today against Granada Hills and next week against defending City runner-up Venice. ``The City is very open this year,'' Reinhart said. ``It's a lot like last year.''
