Top 25
gamestrat high school football sideline instant replay

After seven games between teams in the High School Football America Top 25 this past weekend, there’s plenty of shifting in this week’s rankings.

Top-ranked Corona Centennial solidified its position with a 52-13 win over Serra (Gardena) at The Honor Bowl Saturday night.  The Huskies won’t have a breather as it travels to new #8 Orange Lutheran on Friday.  The Lancers climbed seven spots by beating former #12 Crespi.

Corona Centennial is also ranked #3 in our national Top 25.

Aside from the Centennial/OLu match-up, there’s one other meeting between Top 25 teams in the week ahead.  #6 Mission Viejo travels to La Habra Friday night.  La Habra is the only new entrant to this week’s poll at #25.

One other interesting match-up is #2 St. John Bosco traveling to Oregon to take-on two-time Class 6A state champ Central Catholic on Friday.
