LEFT OUT The only thing local teams could do this season at the Southern Section finals was watch. For the first time in more than five years no local team advanced to a final. Just a year earlier, three teams from the area played in title games. Prospects of another championship field filled with locals appeared good. Defending Division III champion La Canada was seeded No. 1 again this season and Royal of Simi Valley Simi Valley (sē`mē, sĭm`ē), city (1990 pop. 100,217), Ventura co., SW Calif. in an oil, fruit, and farm region; laid out 1887, inc. 1969. was No. 1 in Division IV after finishing second in 1999. There was also '99 Division III runner-up Crescenta Valley, which was seeded third this time. Glendale was unseeded, but became a surprise contender in Division III. Harvard-Westlake of Studio City also had title aspirations since defending Division I champion graduated its top player and the league was the most balanced in years. Instead, La Canada and Harvard-Westlake lost in the second round and the rest were eliminated in the semifinals. TOSSED OUT Thousand Oaks Thousand Oaks, residential city (1990 pop. 104,352), Ventura co., S Calif., in a farm area; inc. 1964.

Winning the tosses hasn't been much of a reward for Newbury Park, though. The Panthers drew a first-round matchup with the No. 2 seed after having to face the No. 1 seed in 1999. Newbury Park lost both games. SAME OLD FRONTIER When Malibu graduated its entire starting lineup For the line of action figures, see .

COACH OF THE YEAR STEVE SNYDER, Royal Snyder took a group that two years earlier had become the program's first in 17 years not to win a league title and turned it into a team that was ranked No. 1 in Division IV for all of this season. Although an upset in the Southern Section semifinals ended Royal's season sooner than expected, there were plenty of highlights. The Highlanders went 26-4, including 14 consecutive wins, easily defended their Marmonte League title, won the Rowland tournament championship and placed second at the Villa Park Villa Park, village (1990 pop. 22,253), Du Page co., NE Ill.; inc. 1914.
