Week 6 CIF Polls: Not a lot of local changes
California, Santa Fe and La Serna all won but failed to move up in this week's CIF-SS Southeast Division football poll.
California (6-0) dumped El Rancho, 45-13, Santa Fe (5-1) got by Whittier, 19-6, and La Serna (6-0) pounded Pioneer, 57-27, to remain in the Nos. 3, 4 and 7 spots.
Actually, nobody moved up, all were winners.
La Habra (4-2) all but destroyed Sonora, 62-0, but also stayed in the same spot, No. 4, in the Southwest Division. Places 1 though 8 remained the same.
St. Paul (3-3) hung with within striking distance of Loyola for three quarters before succumbing to the Cubs' Anthony Barr and his 191 yards and three touchdowns in a 42-21 loss that dropped the Swordsmen two notches to No. 6 in the Western Division.
In other sports, no locals are ranked in boys/girls cross country and girls tennis.
In girls volleyball, La Serna moved up a spot in Division II-A to No. 9; La Mirada made the biggest jump, three notches, to No. 6 in Division III-A; and Whittier Christian, three weeks as No. 1, had no place to go up so remained in Division IV-AA's top spot.
In boys' water polo, only two area teams are recognized, and both held their spots: Montebello No. 1 in Division III, and La Serna No. 2 in Division V.

Mr. Must Go:
Again with your inane comments. I don't know why we even bother to respond to you anymore.
St. Paul does have the toughest schedule in the area. We aren't afraid to "man up". Yes, we have been on the short end of the scores but it does prepare us for league. We have played some of the top ranked teams in the State including Servite, St. John Bosco, Loyola and our opponent tonight, Notre Dame.
It really does not do your team justice if you run through your preseason playing a bunch of "cupcakes" like some area teams like to do, and then not when league.
The goal is to win a championship and not to sit at home during playoffs.
Look at your better programs in the area....La Habra, Santa Fe, Cal Hi and St. Paul. They don't run from quality teams like other schools in the area do.
As far as Pioneer goes they did not have it easy. I personally have a great deal of respect for them. They have played a very difficult schedule with a small group of players. They are hard hitting, aggresive, never say quit players and they aren't afraid to "man up" either.
Must go, again you show your ignorance. Come back when YOU are ready to "man up".
everyone should agree? what are you a dictator? St. Paul does not have a tough schedule. The all mighty swordsmen are tough, mean, the best, former champion. La Habra has a rough road but you dont see them crying about it. get over it. If you want it easy, then go see pioneer.
Everyone should agree that St. Paul H.S. has the toughest schedule in the area. Now a bigger challenge faces us. This Friday we'll be at Sherman Oaks playing against the Notre Dame Knights. I know these kids will not let us down. With league games coming up and half of the season over in sure SPHS will be competing for another title.
Good luck boys make us proud…
