With all six of the Trinity League teams ranked in the High School Football America Southern California Top 25 and league play opening this week, look for plenty of movement over the next several weeks. There’s no doubt that No. 1 Mater Dei and No. 2 St. John Bosco are the cream-of-the-crop, but No. 9 JSerra, No. 13 Orange Lutheran, No. 14 Servite and No. 16 Santa Margarita played very well during their non-league games. As a whole, the Trinity went 28-2 in non-league play with both loses coming against teams in the High School Football America Top 100 national rankings — Bosco to Florida’s St. Thomas Aquinas and Santa Margarita to Mission Viejo.
League play opens with Mater Dei playing Santa Margarita, St. John Bosco facing Orange Lutheran and No. 9 JSerra squaring-off with Servite.
With no disrespect to all of the teams in the Baseline League, the league championship will probably be decided Friday night when No. 8 Rancho Cucamonga takes-on No. 17 in the league opener for both.
Calabasas, which moves-up two spots this week to No. 10 after its 65-63 shoot-out win over Valencia, will take-on No. 25 Westlake, which drops four spots after losing its first game of the year to Oxnard on Friday.
Murrieta Valley returns to the Top 25 at No. 24 this week and a big game against Vista Murrieta on Friday.
