Our preseason top 25 had San Clemente at No. 5 and Servite and No. 6. I swapped those two this week. Servite won big over Fountain Valley, San Clemente lost to Oceanside – Oceanside is good, but not as good as it has been in the past. … Buena Park won by 57 points, so I kept BP at No. 10, although I did consider moving JSerra there. … Los Alamitos moves up from preseason No. 14 because of a close loss to a state-ranked Long Beach Poly. … The one team not in this top 25 that was in the preseason top 25 is Woodbridge, which lost to unranked Cypress. I moved Garden Grove into the top 25. … Other teams that moved up include Trabuco Hills (No. 20 last week), Pacifica (was No.25; OT loss to Trabuco), Tustin (from No. 17) and Troy (from No. 23).
