This week’s rankings are posted after key Monday games, including previous No. 11 Moorpark losing its first game to Camarillo, but before Tuesday games, including No. 1 Los Alamitos playing No. 4 Huntington Beach. The top tournament winners are the Oilers (defeated previous No. 4 Oaks Christian at Best of the West in Santa Maria) plus new State TOP 25 team Vacaville (won NorCal Classic Gold Division in Tracy). The other big news is small schools Sutter and East Nicolaus both getting big bumps all the way up into the first 25.
