There’s a shake-up in the top five as St. Francis (MV) returns to No. 2 after No. 1 Oaks Christian and Villa Park moves up to No. 4. One of the teams that caused the changes, Buchanan of Clovis, debuts this week up at No. 18. Strong weeks by Sheldon of Sacramento and Livermore also are rewarded while this week’s other newcomer is Del Norte of San Diego.
