Area teams dominate the Southeast Division in CIF Southern Section
preseason football polls released Tuesday.

Defending Freeway League champion Troy is ranked No. 1 in the Southeast
Division, but is followed by Santa Fe (2), Schurr (3), La Serna (4) and
California (5).

La Habra is No. 9, perhaps a bit lower than than expected in some
circles of faithful who had expected Highlanders to get recognition among at least the top
five.

Cantwell Sacred Heart of Mary and St. Paul are ranked No. 6 in the
Mid-Valley and Western divisions, respectively.

Whittier Christian is among others receiving votes in the Northeast
Division, as is Whittier in the Southeast Division.

La Mirada is among others receiving votes in the Southwest Division,
but could be the division’s sleeper.
