No surprises in the Avocado West field hockey world. Last year, Torrey Pines and Canyon Crest tied for the league championship and prior to the start of the 2019 campaign, the consensus was that the same two schools would be the favorites to finish at the top of the table again.

Well, nearly two-thirds of the way through the schedule, the two rivals sit right where they were expected to be—both 3-0 in Avocado West action, Torrey Pines second in the most recent CIF section ranking and Canyon Crest fourth. In the first of two league contests, the duo will square off Wednesday (5:30 p.m.) at Canyon Crest to see who can get the upper hand through the initial half of Avo West play. (more)
