No. 1 ST. FRANCIS
Previous ranking: 1
St. Francis did nothing to disqualify itself from the top spot this past week. The Lancers defeated Ventura, Yorba Linda, San Marcos and Clovis in tournament play, dropping just two sets across the four matches. For good measure, they also took down St. Ignatius (3-1) and Sacred Heart Cathedral (3-0) in West Catholic Athletic League play. St. Francis continues its league slate today, facing Valley Christian at 5:30 p.m.
No. 2 ARCHBISHOP MITTY
Previous ranking: 2
The Monarchs had an uneventful week, sweeping Presentation in WCAL action for their only match of the week. Mitty has another light slate this week, facing Sacred Heart Cathedral on Thursday ahead of league matches against Archbishop Riordan and St. Francis next week.
No. 3 JAMES LOGAN
Previous ranking: 10
The Colts continue to run over their competition game after game.

No. 4 CARONDELET
Previous ranking: 8
