Several Southern Section teams in the region have clinched shares of league titles, with most needing victories this week to claim first place outright. A number of playoff berths are also at stake.
A look at league breakdowns entering final regular-season games:
Del Rey League--Alemany (6-3, 0-2) needs a victory over Bishop Amat (5-4, 0-2) on Friday for a chance at a Division I at-large berth. St. Paul (8-1, 2-0) and Loyola (6-3, 2-0) meet for the league title.
Foothill League--Hart (9-0, 4-0) will win the league title outright and most likely gain the No. 1 seeding in the Division III playoffs with a victory Thursday over Canyon (3-6, 2-2). Saugus (7-2, 3-1) and Valencia (7-2, 3-1) will meet Friday for second place. Fourth-place Canyon appears in good shape for a playoff berth, with the winner of the game Wednesday between Burroughs (2-7, 0-4) and Burbank (1-8, 0-4) having an outside shot at an at-large berth.
Golden League--Highland (6-3, 4-0) can clinch its first league title outright with a victory over Antelope Valley (4-5, 3-1) on Friday. Lancaster (3-6, 2-2) and Littlerock (6-3, 2-2) also can sew up Division III playoff berths with victories over Quartz Hill (3-6, 1-3) and Palmdale (1-8, 0-4), respectively. Quartz Hill could gain an at-large berth.
Mission League--Notre Dame (8-1, 2-0) can wrap up the league title and a high seeding in the Division III playoffs by beating last-place Crespi (1-8, 0-2) on Friday. St. Francis (8-1, 1-1) and Chaminade (6-3, 1-1) play for second place, with both teams assured of playoff spots.
Pacific League--Crescenta Valley (8-1, 4-0) can win the league title outright for the second time in three years by defeating Arcadia (5-4, 3-1) on Thursday. Muir (7-2, 3-1) and Pasadena (3-6, 2-2) also are playoff bound. The winner of the game Friday between Glendale (2-7, 0-4) and Hoover (1-8, 0-4) keeps alive its at-large hopes.
Marmonte League--Westlake (8-1, 5-0) will win the league title outright with a victory Friday over last-place Agoura (2-6-1, 0-5). Thousand Oaks (6-3, 4-1) and Newbury Park (5-4, 4-1) play for second place. Moorpark (3-6, 3-3), which has completed league play, has clinched fourth place and a Division IV playoff spot. The winner of the game between Royal (3-6, 1-4) and Simi Valley (1-8, 1-4) enhances its chance of gaining an at-large berth.
Channel League--Cross-town rivals Buena (8-1, 3-0) and Ventura (9-0, 3-0) will meet Thursday in a showdown for the league title and a high seeding in the Division IV playoffs.
Pacific View League--Camarillo (4-4-1, 3-0) will win the league title outright with a victory over Channel Islands (2-6, 1-2) on Friday. Hueneme (4-5, 2-1) and Oxnard (3-6, 2-1) meet for second place, with both teams likely to get Division IV playoff berths.
Angelus League--Harvard-Westlake (5-4, 2-0) will win the league title outright with a victory Friday over St. Bernard (3-6, 1-1).

Santa Paula (6-3, 2-1) will finish second with a victory over last-place Malibu (3-5-1, 0-3). Calabasas (3-6, 2-2), which has completed league play, has the inside track on the league’s No. 3 entry in the Division XI playoffs.
Tri-Valley League--St. Bonaventure (9-0, 4-0) has clinched the title, having completed league play. Oak Park (6-3, 2-1) plays Carpinteria (6-3, 2-1) for second place, with both teams bound for the Division XI playoffs.
Alpha League--Paraclete (6-3, 3-0) can win the league title outright with a victory over Village Christian (3-6, 1-2) on Friday. Kilpatrick (6-3, 3-1) has completed league play and can finish no worse than second. L.A.

A look at league breakdowns entering final regular-season games:
Valley Mission League--San Fernando (9-0, 5-0) plays Sylmar (6-3, 4-1) on Friday with a chance to clinch the league title outright. A Sylmar victory would leave tri-champions if Kennedy (6-3, 4-1) beats Reseda (7-2, 3-2).
West Valley League--Taft (5-4, 4-0) needs a victory over Cleveland (5-4, 3-1) to win the league title outright. A Cleveland victory coupled with Granada Hills (7-2, 3-1) defeating Birmingham (2-7, 0-4) would produce tri-champions.
Sunset Six League--North Hollywood (5-4, 4-0) will win the league title outright with a victory over Canoga Park (5-4, 3-1). Victories by Canoga Park and Poly (5-4, 3-1), which plays Grant (2-7, 1-3), create a three-way tie for the championship.
