San Francisco, Riverside City continue to pace football polls; San Diego Mesa makes big jump
SAN MATEO – There are some changes behind pacesetters No. 1 City College of San Francisco and No. 2 Riverside CC in this week’s coaches poll of California Community College Athletic Association football teams, conducted by the JC Athletic Bureau. College of San Mateo, College of the Canyons, and Golden West each moved up one spot behind the pacesetters. CCSF and Riverside both continue to sit atop the CCCSIA poll of sports information directors.
Mt. San Antonio jumped to sixth, from ninth, after beating Saddleback, 13-6. San Diego Mesa moved into the top ten, tied for eighth with Laney, after beating Ventura, 35-20 -- dropping the Pirates from No. 3 to No. 10.
State champ CCSF extended its win streak to 16 games, 30-10 at Sacramento CC, and this week visits No. 15 Butte. Riverside topped Long Beach CC, 48-20. Now No. 7 Cerritos had an impressive 32-24 win at Fullerton, dropping the Hornets from No. 8 to 14th.
Wildfires caused the postponement of the Contra Costa at College of the Siskiyous game in Weed to the Nov. 19 state make-up date.
