Inland Sports BOOST Top-25 prep football poll; Week Two

Two weeks of high school football in California have come and gone, and now it is time to look at the Inland Sports prep football polls in the Southwest Riverside County region. As Week Two comes in to focus, we will check in with Pep Fernandez and the crew from Inland Sports to see which teams are making moves in the polls. With their Week One win, Centennial maintains the No. 1 spot, but the most recent BOOST Top-25 and coaches preseason polls still have five of the top ten teams hailing from right here in our own backyard.

The biggest drop of the week was Elsinore after falling four spots to No. 20. The best bump of the week was made by Paloma Valley as they moved up three spots. Of the top 25, eleven are schools from the surrounding Valley News coverage area.

This week’s polls (records included, plus movement from last week is noted):

1. Centennial (1-1 same)
2. Cajon (2-0, same)
3. Murrieta Valley (1-1, same)
4. Chaparral (1-1, same)
5. Vista Murrieta (2-0, up two spots)
6. Roosevelt (1-0, same)
7. Orange Vista (1-1, down two spots)
8. Citrus Valley (0-1, same)
9. Aquinas (0-2, same)
10. Liberty (2-0, same)
11. Yucaipa (2-0, same)
12. Beaumont (2-0, same)
13. Rancho Verde (2-0, same)
14. Norte Vista (1-1, up 2 spots)
15. San Jacinto (0-2, same)

23. Jurupa Hills (0-1, up 1 spot)
24. Elsinore (1-1, down 4 spots)
25. Vista del Lago (2-0, new this week)

– JW North (No. 25 last week), King (No 22 last week), and Kaiser (No. 21 last week) all fell off the polls this week.

This week’s Inland Sports and Ken’s Sporting Goods “Must See Game” is the Paloma Valley Wildcats versus the Kaiser Cats.

“Paloma Valley will look to stay undefeated on the season when they battle a hungry Kaiser Cats squad,” says Fernandez.
