Oilers just miss Top 10 spot

The Huntington Beach High football team just missed a Top 10

ranking in the latest CIF Southern Section Division I poll.

The Oilers, at 4-2, were listed among an “others” group that

included only East Valley (4-1-1) of Redlands.

Prior to the release Tuesday of the latest Division I poll,

Huntington Beach was coming off a 41-21 loss to Los Alamitos.

The Griffins, 5-0-1 overall, are ranked second in the latest

Division I poll, trailing only defending division champion, Long

Beach Poly (5-1).

The Sunset League is represented in the Top 10 by Esperanza, which

came in at No. 3. But, there is certain to be a mix-up in next week’s

rankings. One team will fall from the ranks of the unbeaten when

Esperanza (6-0) battles Los Alamitos Saturday at Valencia High in

Placentia.
