The final week of the regular season is here. The playoffs are right around the corner and all of the teams in our Top 10 have earned a spot in their respective divisions.

Teams like Escalon and Ripon still have games that matter in terms of Trans-Valley League standings while the Valley Oak League and Central California Athletic League champions have been all but decided.
