The Trinity League’s five Orange County teams occupy the top five positions in this week’s Register Media Poll for Week 1 of the season.

Servite was No. 1 in the county preseason top 25. The Friars lost to national No. 1 Bishop Gorman on Friday and dropped to No. 2 this week.

Mater Dei moved up to No. 1 after an impressive 38-18 win over Centennial of Corona on Saturday.

El Toro was No. 12 in the preseason top 25. A 51-35 win over La Habra on Friday impressed the 10-member medial panel enough to put the Chargers in the No. 10 position.

Mission Viejo is No. 6 this week, the highest ranking among county public schools, although the Diablos lost their opener to Liberty of Bakersfield.
