All-Encompassing SGV(N) Top 25 after Week 3 …


Saints make HUGE leap after whipping Monrovia

1. Charter Oak (3-1) — Stood toe to toe with one of the Inland’s best, and had their chances.
2. Bishop Amat (3-1) — Sloppy first half vs. Damien shows Lancers haven’t hit their stride yet.
3. St. Francis (3-0) — As always, the real proof will be found once Mission League play begins.
4. La Habra (2-2) — Another big effort vs. a Trinity team, but a loss is a loss.
5. St. Paul (3-0) — Swordsmen have allowed just 21 points all season.
6. West Covina (3-1) — Not a bad record considering all the injuries the ‘Dawgs have had.
7. Arcadia (3-1) — Can Apaches live up to their favorite status in the Pacific?
8. Chino Hills (2-2) — Huge challenge looms this week vs. unbeaten REV.
9. San Dimas (3-1) — Big rise after routing Mid-Valley contenders 3 straight weeks.
10. Covina (3-1) — Colts have to hope Livingston injury isn’t a long-term thing.
11. Maranatha (4-0) — Minutemen proved they can win the nail-biter.
12. Claremont (4-0) — Wolfpack are simply winning games.
13. Los Altos (4-0) — Feels like we’ve gone back in time.
14. Muir (2-1) — Are ‘Stangs ready to show Arcadia who’s boss in Pacific?
15. Monrovia (1-2) — Most disappointing team in the SGV has huge test vs. South Hills.
16. Alhambra (4-0) — Combined record of teams Moors have beat: 4-9.
17. Bonita (2-2) — Win over L.A. Marshall was expected, Hacienda opener vs. DR will be a test.
18. Damien (2-1) — Spartans have to stop with all the turnovers if they want to make noise in Sierra.
19. Arroyo (3-1) — Knights will be favored in every game the rest of the way. 9-1, anybody?
20. La Serna (3-1) — A loss to La Mirada is forgivable, but 31-0?
21. El Rancho (3-1) — Unbeaten since Los Altos loss, win over Montebello especially nice
22. South Hills (1-2) — Huskies need to take care of business vs. vulnerable Monrovia.
23. La Puente (3-0) — Still not ready to call LP the Montview favorite, but they deserve this ranking.
24. South El Monte (3-0) — Unlike Los Altos, this feel-good story isn’t getting much ink yet.
25. Whittier (3-0) — Competition has been suspect, but 3-0 is 3-0.
