All-Encompassing SGV(N) Top 25 going into Week 1

Many of the teams have played, so we’ve got lots of movement going into Week 1.


How does Aram rank Glendora ahead of CO last week, but end up picking CO? Odd.

1. Bishop Amat (1-0) — Lots of skeptics even after 23-0 shutout of Garfield.
2. Chino Hills (1-0) — Opened 20-0 lead on Mayfair before winning 28-14.
3. La Habra (0-1) — Can’t drop LH too far after loss to O-Lu … but many did pick them to win.
4. Glendora (1-0) — Were they lucky or good? Probably a bit of both. Monrovia comes calling.
5. Claremont (1-0) — Waxed Cajon … now ‘Pack gets sky-high Bonita.
6. St. Francis (0-0) — Need big showing on Friday vs. Arcadia.
7. Monrovia (0-0) — Several ‘Cats at Citrus last Friday got to see what’s in store this week.
8. Muir (1-0) — Not sure I get why so many ‘Stangs missed SG game, but they won big anyway.
9. South Hills (0-0) — Huskies open up with good test against BP on Friday.
10. Ayala (1-0) — Did anybody see 35-point outburst coming vs. Lugo?
11. Charter Oak (0-1) — Sloppy Chargers should learn lots from Glendora fiasco.
12. Rowland (1-0) — Once offense got going, Raiders showed why they’re scary.
13. La Mirada (0-1) — Better shake off disappointment in time for Thursday vs. La Habra.
14. Whittier Christian (1-0) — Offense carried the day against Ontario Christian.
15. Schurr (0-0) — Let’s see how QB Cantu does with new skill guys vs. Cantwell.
16. Damien (0-0) — Sparty bracing for test against Roddy’s angry cats.
17. Covina (1-0) — Unranked to 17. Are Colts now Valle Vista favorites?
18. Bonita (1-0) — Note to self: Never doubt Dangerous Podley. Claremont comes calling …
19. Diamond Ranch (0-1) — Is it November yet?
20. Arroyo (1-0) — Knights looking for 2-0 start against annual rival Temple City.
21. Santa Fe (0-0) — Warren should be good test in opener.
22. West Covina (0-1) — ‘Dogs fall from No. 5 to here after epic collapse.
23. San Dimas (0-1) — Did anybody ever think to ask Coach Z about RB situation. My bad.
