While the first two High School Football America California Top 25 rankings had plenty of balance with teams from across the state, two weeks into the season, the very powerful southern part of state seems to be taking-over.
The five teams that enter this week’s rankings, that are created with our proprietary algorithm, hail from the CIF Southern Section — No. 18 Santa Margarita, No. 20 San Clemente, No. 21 Servite, No. 22 Heritage and No. 24 Orange Lutheran.
The biggest movers this week are Folsom and Mission Hills. Folsom checks-in at No. 11 this week, while Mission Hills is No. 16.
