Carmelykyd - you can't really criticize Devine's list by producing a list that goes beyond the scope of his list. He made a list of the top ten teams from Monterey County from the past decade, you made a list of the top teams of the past 11 years from Monterey, San Benito, Santa Cruz, and the southern most portion of Santa Clara County (but only the ones that advanced past the second round in the playoffs).

as far as your list goes, we all know the 02 Salinas team was loaded, to exclude them because they did not get past some arbitrary line in the playoffs is silly. throw some of those Seaside teams or 09 Carmel team in the open in those years and they likely wouldn't have made it past the second round; doesn't change the fact that they were some of the best teams to come out of Monterey County in recent years. and if your going to include 2001, why would you leave out the 2001 division 2 champion Salinas squad? especially considering how you included a 3 loss 05 Seaside squad that did not win CCS...
