There’s only subtle changes to the rankings this week as the majority of The Bee’s Top 10 won their games last Friday.

Central Catholic and Hilmar have big games this week. While the Raiders are nowhere near dropping out of The Bee’s Top 10, if Hilmar loses, they can drop in favor of Trans-Valley League rival Hughson.
