The Fresno Bee Top 25 rankings: New No. 1 team plus plenty of changes after upset
AI-generated summary reviewed by our newsroom.
- Clovis East claims No. 1 spot after road win over Kingsburg and Central East loss.
- Hanford climbs 10 spots to No. 15 after upset win over Sanger at Neighbor Bowl.
- Frontier falls seven spots to No. 10 after second straight loss to Liberty-Brentwood.
Central East faced a daunting task in facing Grant, which were embarrassed 51-13 in a season-opening loss to Folsom.
The Bengals found out first-hand that Grant wanted to erase that memory, losing 42-26 to the Pacers.
While Grant is one of the top teams in the state, that could justify the Bengals staying The Bee’s No. 1 team in its weekly rankings.
However, it is hard to ignore what Clovis East did on the road — rolling to a 27-10 victory over Kingsburg. That win, coupled with Central East’s loss, moves the Timberwolves to the top of the rankings.
Clovis East, too, will face Grant on Sept. 12.
The top 5 consists of Clovis East, Central East, Clovis, Clovis North and Tulare Union.
There were changes throughout the rankings.
For instance, Sanger lost to Hanford 39-35 at Neighbor Bowl in an upset. The Bullpups move up 10 spots to No. 15, while the Apaches drop nine spots to No. 17.
