Week 5 high school top 10

Pretty standard this week, as everyone won except for Serrano, who was edged out of the poll. Everyone else either stayed the same or moved up one. Boring I know.

1. Redlands East Valley (4-0)
The Wildcats had perhaps their most impressive performance of the year against Yucaipa. They seem to be getting better, but this week should be a slamdunk against a struggling Fontana team.

2. Upland (5-0)
The Highlanders took care of Bloomington easily, giving them a bye before they start a brutal Baseline League slate. I wish I had more to say, but Upland's play speaks for itself.

3. Miller (4-0)
The offense erupted against Rialto, which doesn't have that bad of a defense. If the Miller offense plays at a consistently high level, watch out, because the defense has been a rock all season.

4. Hesperia (4-0)
The Scorpions got a huge scare this week, having to hold off a Barstow 2-point conversion attempt to escape with the victory. A massively-improved Ridgecrest Burroughs team this week won't be a picnic either.

5. Los Osos (3-1)
The Grizzlies slug past Kaiser and move up a pinch in the rankings, showing some resolve after the tough loss to Vista Murrieta.

6. Colton (3-1)
The Yellowjackets' double-wing offense showed a little more life against Silverado. If they can continue getting 27 points per game, as they did against Silverado, their defense should be able to deliver Colton to a good place.

7. Cajon (4-1)
I know La Quinta is down, as the Blackhawks have been defeated by Colton and Norco as well. But putting up 40 against La Quinta is nothing to be scoffed at.

8. Aquinas (5-0)
Another week, another 500-yard performance. Falcons coach Josh Henderson gets borderline giddy when talking about this team and its hard to blame them, as Aquinas can come at you from all angles.

9. Rancho Cucamonga (3-0-1)
The Cougars are slowly, but surely, moving their way up. If they stand up during Baseline League play, they'll be at the top or near the top of these rankings.

10. Chino Hills (4-0)
I was tempted to put Serrano here and keep it in the poll, but Chino Hills beat the team (Colony) that most recently beat Serrano. There was no logical reason not to put the Huskies in this place.

Just missed the cut: Serrano (3-2), Summit (4-0), Ayala (4-1).
