Plenty of shuffling in the middle of the pack in latest High School Football America/SoCal Top 25

Friday’s 29-14 win by Orange Lutheran over Vista Murrieta has caused some movement from #6 through #16 in the latest High School Football America/SoCal Top 25.

WATCH: Highlights of OLu’s win over Vista Murrieta

OLu moves from #15 to #12 this week, while Vista Murrieta drops from #6 to #14.

Serra‘s win over former #13 Loyola brings the Cavaliers up one spot to #8.  Also sliding-up a spot — Alemany to #6, Long Beach Poly to #9, Narbonne to #10, JSerra to #11, Tesoro to #14 and Chaminade to #15.

Friday night, Chaminade will square-off with Loyola that dropped to #16 after the loss to Serra.

Re-entering the poll is San Clemente at #25, which is where the Tritons were in our preseason poll before losing their opener to San Juan Hills, which after being un-ranked in the preseason is now #22.  This week, the Tritons will be on the road to face arch-rival Tesoro.

There probably won’t be too much movement this week with all of the Trinity League on their bye weeks in preparation for the opening of league play in two weeks.
