High School Football Rankings: Stanislaus District’s Top 10, Week 8
Week 7 saw a Top 2 matchup between Central Catholic and Oakdale and seventh- and eighth-ranked teams Hilmar and Escalon squaring off.
We saw some unranked teams last week jump into this week’s Top 10 after big wins.
While this week doesn’t feature as many matchups between The Bee’s Top 10 teams, there are still some games that could affect the rankings.
