Last year, the Apaches placed third at the CIF State Finals behind Great Oak and Davis, both of whom earned the two auto spots to NXN and looked poised to do so again. But with a full top seven squad back -- including last year's Mt. SAC champion Holly Lung -- maybe Arcadia doesn't need to hope for an at-large bid.
The boy's team has enjoyed a lot of prior success at NXN - they won the whole shebang in both 2010 and 2012. Michael Feraco-Eberle enters his fourth year as head coach.
