TOP 25 STATE FOOTBALL RANKINGS After games of Saturday, Nov. 19 1. (1) — Mater Dei-Santa Ana 12-0 Sophomore QB J.T. Daniels continuing to post Jake Browningtype numbers and has 4,200 yards and 63 TD passes with perhaps three games left. 2. (2) — Centennial-Corona 11-1 Head coach Matt Logan looking for third straight CIFSS top division title, and will go up against St. John Bosco in semifinals. 3. (3) — St. John Bosco-Bellflower 10-2 QB Re-al Mitchell is super fast. How fast? He was in state track meet as a sophomore. 4. (5) ▲ Rancho Cucamonga 12-0 Jaylon Redd rushed for three TDs and Thomas Graham had a 72-yard pick six in 42-26 win over previous No. 4 Mission Viejo. Cougars to play Mater Dei next. 5. (6) ▲ Narbonne-Harbor City 12-0 Gauchos rolling along in L.A. City Div. I playoffs. They beat Crenshaw 47-7 in quarterfinals. 6. (8) ▲ De La Salle-Concord 10-1 Wins over Monte Vista-Danville and Clayton Valley-Concord seem to indicate Spartans are pushing to higher level they’ll need to be at for chance at another CIF Open Div. title. 7. (7) — Cathedral Catholic-San Diego 12-0 Watch for the Dons to be in CIF Div. I-AA state bowl game. They’ll probably have to beat Narbonne to get there.

8. (9) ▲ Freedom-Oakley 11-0 If the Falcons can knock off DLS in NCS Open final, they’ll play next in CIF Open Division state final. Can’t see CIF going in any other direction for that selection.
17. (21) ▲ La Mirada 10-2 Matadores are top seed in CIFSS Div. III bracket and have only lost to St. John Bosco and Mater Dei.
9. (4) ▼ Mission Viejo 11-1* Loss to Rancho Cucamonga in CIFSS Div. I quarterfinals ended 39-game winning streak.
18. (NR) ▲ Edison-Huntington Beach 12-1 A 42-0 loss to Mater Dei early in the season is now looking like it’s one of the closer games the Monarchs have had.
10. (10) — Murrieta Valley-Murrieta 10-2 No typo. This team had 829 yards offense in wild-and-wacky 65-48 Southern Section Div. II playoff win over Norco.
19. (18) ▼ Clayton Valley-Concord 9-2* Since the Ugly Eagles were pegged higher than Monte Vista for NCS Open Division, a loss to DLS doesn’t change that.
11. (12) ▲ Calabasas 12-0 Coyotes may be Div. V for CIFSS playoffs, but they’ll be much higher on the SoCal bowl board if they win section crown.
20. (20) — Monte Vista-Danville 11-1 Only loss to DLS and will now play Antioch for NCS Div. I title. Unfortunately, NCS Div. I winner doesn’t go on to CIF NorCal bowl games.
12. (13) ▲ St. Mary’s-Stockton 11-1 Jake Dunniway threw for 315 yards and five TDs in playoff win over Pitman-Turlock that set up SJS Div. I semifinal showdown vs. Oak Ridge. 13. (15) ▲ Folsom 11-1 Now that Sac High (Folsom’s lone loss) has been upset in SJS Div. II bracket, no chance the SJS Div. II winner will go higher on NorCal bowl board than SJS Div. I winner. 14. (14) — Helix-La Mesa 9-2 This team only lost to Cathedral Catholic by one score earlier in the season, and may play Dons again for San Diego Open Div. title. 15. (11) ▼ Pittsburg 9-2* Both of the losses by the Pirates were to Freedom. First game was closer, but Pitt has other wins to stay ranked high. 16. (25) ▲ Rancho Bernardo-San Diego 12-0 This is the team that beat Sacred Heart Prep in CIF state bowl final last year. It plays Helix in San Diego Open semis.

21. (NR) ▲ Oak Ridge-El Dorado Hills 10-2 Trojans have a loss to Reed-Nevada, but look dangerous heading into SJS semis opposite St. Mary’s-Stockton. 22. (NR) ▲ Valley Christian-San Jose 11-1 Although it says Open Div. III in CCS, Warriors are ranked higher than any CCS teams in Open II or Open I. 23. (22) ▼ Santa Margarita-Rancho SM 7-5* Two losses to Bosco, one to Mater Dei and one to Mission Viejo. Key playoff win vs. Serra-Gardena. 24. (23) ▼ Serra-Gardena 7-4* Cavaliers were up to No. 9 before their playoff loss to Santa Margarita. 25. (NR) ▲ Elk Grove 11-1 We decided for this week’s rankings to include all final four teams from the SJS Div. I playoffs. * Indicates team’s season is complete.
