There is no change in the top 5 but Live Oak makes another move up the Prep2Prep CCS rankings in anticipation of its showdown with Christopher for the BVAL-Mount Hamilton title.
Note: Last week's rankings in parentheses
For the first time since its season opener against Folsom, Serra was tested in a 24-13 win at Valley Christian. The Padres led just 14-13 late in the third quarter before their defense enabled them to pull away late. Serra wraps up the regular season Friday night at home against St. Ignatius.
Junior Keala Keanaaina rushed for 139 yards and 3 TDs in a 27-20 win over Archbishop Riordan to vault Saint Francis into second place in the WCAL. The Lancers end the regular season Friday night at Bellarmine.
The Crusaders fell short in the battle for second place in the WCAL, losing 27-20 to Saint Francis despite the efforts of sophomore QB Mike Mitchell Jr (16-of-24, 196 yards, 1 TD) and senior RB Charlie Johnson (79 yards rushing, 1 TD). Riordan closes out the regular season with a home game against Sacred Heart Cathedral.
Los Gatos drove 80 yards in two minutes to pull out a 24-21 victory over Wilcox and secure at least a share of the PAL-Bay title. The Wildcats can win the championship outright when they host Menlo-Atherton Friday night.

Senior Mikey McGrath threw 3 TD passes as Menlo cruised to a 33-0 win over Half Moon Bay. The undefeated Knights close out the season Friday night at home against rival Sacred Heart Prep.

Hollister picked up a big 29-26 win over Aptos to move a huge step closer to a potential CCS playoff bid. With first-place Salinas still on the schedule, a loss could have eliminated the Balers from playoff contention.
Bellarmine earned its first WCAL win by defeating Sacred Heart Cathedral 23-13. Even with an upset win over Saint Francis, however, the Bells will not be eligible for the CCS playoffs having lost to both Mitty and Valley Christian.
