Clay how in the world do you justify leaving Bonita out after they crushed San Dimas. Also Diamond Ranch got bloody pummeled and don't deserve top ten the way they lost.
I try not to base too much on one game in order to keep the fluctuation within in the poll from being drastic every week. Bonita took a huge step in the right direction but it'll take a little consistency for them to prove themselves. Same with San Dimas and Diamond Ranch, I'll have to see a little more of them before I do anything like drop them out of the top 10.
How can Rancho Cuc. with a pre-season weak schedule against div. 11 and Div. 7 teams be ranked above Summit, Kaiser and Lososos? You will never see them play a Norco or Vista Murrieta team. I really think Etiwanda, Santiago and Norco are not scared to pit themselves against tougher pre-season opponents to keep from losing.
