High School Football

A new team shows up in The Fresno Bee high school football rankings, plus other changes

While many teams didn’t play because of the bye week, there were still many movements in The Fresno Bee Top 25 rankings, including Coalinga debuting.

Shafter dropped to No. 12 after it was at No. 8, but a 30-28 loss to St. Joseph dropped them and moved up other teams that were in the Top 10.

They are No. 8 Buchanan, No. 9 Clovis West and No. 10 Frontier.

Coalinga had an impressive win over Washington Union.

The Horned Toads won 37-24 to remain undefeated at 5-0 as they entered West Sierra League play this week.
