Del Oro of Loomis is still No. 1 and Norco has gone up from No. 3 to No. 2, but the biggest changes this week are from No. 3 on down the pecking order. Several upsets in the CIF Southern Section D1 playoffs plus previous No. 4 St. Francis taking a loss in the CIF Central Coast Section causes Oak Ridge and Tracy of the Sac-Joaquin to go way up and by the time some are reading this those two already will have played each other in a D1 playoff semifinal. Etiwanda also joins the top five, El Modena of Orange goes way back up (now No. 1 in Orange County) while other newcomers include Notre Dame of Sherman Oaks, Bonita Vista of Chula Vista and Liberty of Brentwood.
