Mission Prep keeps getting better and the whole bottom half of the Top Ten is solid, but the top teams are at a completely different level. Next week\u2019s Linfield Christian and Notre Dame\/Riverside game will be at the least a semifinal preview if not a Northwest finals preview. Nipomo is not finished yet.<\/p>\n
1.) Linfield Christian (1-0, 6-0): The Lions have not missed the playoffs since 2006.<\/strong><\/p>\n 2.) Notre Dame\/Riverside (1-0, 6-0): Good defense? NDR has allowed only 40 points through six games this season.<\/p>\n 3.) Twentynine Palms (2-0, 6-0): 29ers quarterback Jimmy Shragge threw his first pick last week. His passer rating dropped to 136.5 and he now has only 22 touchdown passes against one interception.<\/strong><\/p>\n 4.) Mission Prep (1-0, 4-2): Brayden Corona has rushed for 721 yards and eight touchdowns.<\/p>\n 5.) Nipomo (1-0, 3-4): Titans middle linebacker Terry Wambolt has 86 tackles and two sacks this season. A year ago he was in on 170 tackles.<\/strong><\/p>\n 6.) Ontario Christian (5-1): The Knights have completed 49 passes as a team. Grayson Kline has caught 23 of them for four touchdowns.<\/p>\n 7.)

Templeton (0-1, 4-3): Fate is in their hands, but need to beat Nipomo on October 30th or they could up with a long bus ride to the desert in November.<\/p>\n 9.) Valley Christian (1-0, 5-2): Defensive back RJ Van kampen is tied for the Northwest lead in interceptions with seven. (Maranatha\u2019s Dexter Myers has seven.)<\/strong><\/p>\n 10.)
