As if beating top seed and state-ranked Culver City wasn’t enough, St. Paul of Santa Fe Springs head coach Rick Zepeda was presented Coach of the Week honors by the Los Angeles Rams after the game. The Swordsmen also have now been elevated to No. 33 in this week’s State Top 50. Photo: @SPHSSports / Twitter.com.
There are six newcomers this week, led by new No. 33 St. Paul of Santa Fe Springs after its big win over previous No. 28 Culver City. Three others still playing and going for section titles this week are Loyola of Los Angeles, San Joaquin Memorial of Fresno and Oceanside. We’ve also now reached that time when some teams that are done can come back up based on others dropping out and on how those teams did for the entirety of the season.
