Week 6 top 10

The top of the rankings stayed static, but there was a good bit of shuffling toward the bottom. Aquinas falls out after losing to Twentynine Palms, with Summit taking its place.

1. Redlands East Valley (5-0)
The Wildcats weren’t really challenged by Fontana, but 17-0 isn’t a score that will strike fear in the hearts of Miller or Redlands. The REV defense continues to impress though.

2. Upland (5-0)
Conceiveably could have moved up to No. 1 had it played. But the Highlanders spent this week resting up for a killer Baseline League, though it does get a break by opening with an improved but still inferior Claremont team.

3. Miller (5-0)
REV may be ranked higher, but the Rebels arguably have looked more impressive in CBL play. The offense continues to gain confidence and the defense just blanked Yucaipa.

4. Hesperia (5-0)
Another week, another close call for the Scorpions, who pulled out a tricky road game at Ridgecrest Burroughs. It doesn’t get easier, as although Sultana is 0-5, the Key Game always brings out the Sultans’ best.

5. Los Osos (4-1)
Arby Fields broke out nicely in Friday’s win over Valencia West Ranch, just in time to get the Grizzlies going for league. They start with a tricky game against Alta Loma.

6. Cajon (4-1)
The Cowboys got a nice breather after a pretty good nonleague season. With sophomore QB Thomas Carter finding his groove, Cajon will be tough to beat in the SAL.

7. Rancho Cucamonga (4-0-1)
The Cougars continue to win and, predictably, continue to move up the poll. A tough opener at Etiwanda this week will be Rancho’s first real stern test to 2008.

8. Colton (3-1-1)
I’m dropping the Yellowjackets a couple spots for their tie against Kaiser because realistically, it should have lost. However, Colton shows tenacity and grit, especially for a young team.

9. Chino Hills (5-0)
Forget about Silverado’s 0-6 record – Chino Hills got a quality road win on Friday. These Huskies aren’t as star-studded as they have been, but seem to be more effective at this point.

10. Summit (5-0)
After toeing around the periphery of the top 10, the SkyHawks finally earn their spot, despite giving up points for the first time all season. It will be interesting to see how this success translates in league.

Just missed the cut: Serrano (3-2), Ayala (4-1), Aquinas (5-1).
