Rank (Previous) School Record
1. (1) Mater Dei, 3-0
The Monarchs were dominant on both sides of the ball with a 42-0 win over La Mirada. Star junior quarterback J.T Daniels completed 13-15 passes for 248 yards and three touchdowns and rushed for a 60-yard score on the first play of the game. Wide out Nikko Remigio had another big game as well with three touchdown catches.
2. (2) St. John Bosco, 2-1
The Braves played a very physical game against Chaminade but pulled away late for the 31-17 win. Bosco was very good defensively and had the running game clicking in the second half with Demetrious Flowers and George Holani running downhill between the tackles.
3. (3) Centennial, Corona, 2-1
Playing with out star quarterback Tanner McKee, the Huskies still put up 73 points and put up a shutout against Etiwanda. Nine different players scored touchdowns and junior running backs Octavio Cortez and Thomas Kinslow both had over 100 yards on the ground. Catch the Huskies Friday night vs. City Section power Narbonne at 7:30p on Prime Ticket.
4. (4) Mission Viejo, 3-0
The Diablos took out a tough La Habra team 42-27 but the big storyline could be team health. Standout junior running back Jamari Ferrell went out with a leg injury and looks doubtful for this weeks huge matchup with Long Beach Poly. Star defensive back Akili Arnold picked up the slack on offense and quarterback Joey Yellen threw for a pair of scores.
5. (5) Long Beach Poly, 2-0
The Jackrabbits are coming off a bye and will have a top five showdown this weekend against Mission Viejo.
