High school football rankings Week 9, 2022: Bay Area News Group Top 25
How far did Clayton Valley, Half Moon Bay leap and how much did San Ramon Valley and Bellarmine fall in latest rankings?
Clayton Valley Charter, Half Moon Bay and Miramonte were among the teams that moved up this week in the Bay Area News Group high school football rankings.
San Ramon Valley and Bellarmine were among those to move down.
Liberty, Live Oak and Antioch were the three to move in. Amador Valley, Heritage and Livermore were the three to move out.
Yes, there was a little bit of a shake-up this week.
The top five remained the same, with Serra leading the way, but the teams that landed in the Nos. 6-10 spots each moved up one notch.
That includes Archbishop Mitty, which has entered the Top 10 after scoring the final 21 points — all in the fourth quarter — to beat Bellarmine 31-17 on Friday.
