Taft, which received seven first-place votes, stays ahead of the pack as the first squad to earn five wins on the season. They recorded their first tie of the season in a showdown against No. 14 Santa Barbara then followed with a 2-0 win over Allan Hancock. They will complete a four-game South swing this week.

No. 4 Folsom Lake and No. 6 Foothill receive first-place votes as well, while No. 5 Cerritos is sandwiched between the two teams to round out the top five.
No. 7 Golden West falls out of the top five, while no. 10 Mt. San Antonio drops six positions for the previous week. No. 15 Fullerton fell eight spot after their record dropped to 3-2, while No. 8 American River and No. 16 Merced all made significant jumps.
