The regular season game was decided by 1 point, and they went into overtime in the divisional title game. Unfortunately for the Cardinals, they dropped both games. From that high-quality team, they lose 6 All-Mid-Valley Division selections, including pretty much their entire skill position players. To make matters worse, due to last year's success, they and Santa Clara have been "rewarded" with a move up in both league and division. They are now in the Tri-Valley League with a school called...Oaks Christian? Ever heard of them?
