But for the Golden League, the quest is a bit more modest: Advance past the second round. Never has a team from the league accomplished the feat, and it will be difficult for Highland, Littlerock and Quartz Hill this season. Just getting past the first round might be too much to ask. Littlerock played a Division I-AA wild-card match Monday night at Valencia. If the Lobos survived, what awaits them tonight in the first round is a trip to third-seeded Upland Upland, city (1990 pop. 63,374), San Bernardino co., S Calif., in a citrus-fruit region at the foot of the San Gabriel Mts.; inc. 1906. Citrus fruits and grapes are packed and processed in the city. Paint, orchard heaters, auto parts, and feed products are also made. for a 7 p.m. match. Quartz Hill travels to Pacific View League-champion Oxnard tonight. A win there likely means a home match against Almont champion San Gabriel San Gabriel (săn gā`brēəl), city (1990 pop. 37,120), Los Angeles co., SW Calif.; inc. 1913. Fabric, furniture, paper products, tools, and aircraft parts are manufactured. . Highland has the best chance and it's slim. The league-champion Bulldogs host a first-rounder tonight against the winner of Monday's wild-card game between Los Alamitos Los Alamitos (lôs ăləmē`təs, lŏs), city (1990 pop. 11,676), Orange co., NE of Long Beach, S Calif., in a suburban area; inc. 1960. Los Alamitos Racetrack and U.S. military installations are nearby. and Rancho Cucamonga Rancho Cucamonga (răn`chō k  'kəmäng`gə), city (1990 pop. 101,409), San Bernardino co., S Calif. . It's a long trip for either school, so Highland has an
advantage. But a win likely means a second-round contest with Pacific
champion Arcadia.
