Here is the updated SoCal Varsity Top 20 poll for Week 1 of the football season.
For those who aren’t familiar yet with our new poll, here is a recap: Reporters for the Orange County Register, Riverside Press-Enterprise and Los Angeles Register are voting each week on the top teams in the region (not including Ventura and San Diego counties).
This week, all six of the voters gave the top spot to St. John Bosco, while Mater Dei moved up to No. 2 after defeating Centennial of Corona on Saturday.
We’ll have a new SoCal Varsity Top 20 each Monday afternoon for the rest of the season.
(The Register’s Orange County Top 10 and Steve Fryer’s Top 25 for Week 1 will also be available online Monday afternoon.)
