BHHS Football Still Close to CIF Ranking

The Normans are just outside the Top 10 in the Western Division even after losing to Santa Barbara.

The CIF Southern Section office has released its new Top 10 polls and remains on the list of "others under consideration" in the Western Division despite its 27-6 season-opening loss at Santa Barbara. 

Ocean League rival Culver City moved up two places from No. 9 to No. 7 in the rankings while Santa Monica also remains on the "others" list after a 35-0 victory over Leuzinger.

West Hills Chaminade of the Mission League stayed atop the poll after its 41-21 victory over Venice while St. Paul and Arroyo Grande held at No. 2 and No. 3 after each won. Dominguez dropped from fourth to eighth after being shut out 30-0 by Redlands East Valley. Serra moved up one spot from No. 5 to No. 4 after a 21-0 victory over Redondo Union. Santa Maria St. Joseph moved up one spot and St. Francis moved two spots, from No. 6 to No. 8, after edging Arcadia 31-28 in its opener. Atascadero dropped to No. 9 with a loss to Clovis and Ventura moved into the No. 10 spot with a 38-0 rout of Oak Park.
