Matt Montez (24) and Rio Hondo Prep check in at number 9.
Not a whole lot of movement as the heavyweights keep winning. Downey knocked La Mirada out of the mix and the Vikings moved in at number 10. Several League titles on the line this week. Rio Hondo Prep still looks like…well, Rio Hondo Prep.

(Azusa) – Azusa Pacific played its first game in the newly renovated on-campus stadium Saturday night against Chapman. There was a dedication and a ribbon cutting before the game as the school celebrated the new Cougar Stadium. Then the game began and although the stands were full and the spirits were high, the outcome wasn’t exactly what the Azusa Pacific faithful had hoped for. Chapman led 20-3 at halftime, held Azusa Pacific scoreless in the second half and went on to beat the Cougars 26-3 in a Division 3 contest.
