The regular season is now over for teams in the CIF Southern Section with it down to one week for most of the rest of the state. Orange Lutheran returns to No. 1 after previous No. 1 Villa Park lost twice in its league after it had won the SoCal Boras Classic. The NorCal Boras Classic will have a title game played this week and will involve new No. 3 Woodcreek of Roseville. Bellarmine of San Jose, meanwhile, has come from out of the woodwork to jump into this week’s rankings.
