FOX Sports West High School Football Rankings: 2016's final rankings
Another glorious season of CIF Southern Section football has come to a close. It's been a great year packed with great games, big plays and phenomenal student athletes. But with the final whistles blown, it's now time to say a bittersweet goodbye until next year.
So without further ado, here are the final high school football rankings of 2016:
Top 10:
1. St. John Bosco (12-2)
The Braves got revenge taking down Mater Dei in the Div I Championship and will now play NorCal powerhouse Concord (Calif.) De La Salle.
2. Mater Dei (13-1)
The Monarchs undefeated season came to an end over the weekend with a tough loss to Trinity League rival St. John Bosco. They return a ton of talent in 2017.
3. Corona Centennial (11-2)
The Huskies had a heartbreaking loss in the Div I semi-finals to St. John Bosco. Following the Div I final Saturday, a lot of people said Centennial might have actually been the best team in the division.
4. Rancho Cucamonga (12-1)
What an incredible season for the Cougars who made it to the Div I semis and earned everyone's respect before falling to Mater Dei.
5. Mission Viejo (11-1)
The Diablos had their 39 game winning streak ended with a tough loss to Rancho Cucamonga in the Div I quarter finals. Don't feel bad Mission, they return a ton of talent on both sides of the ball.
6. Calabasas (15-0)
Even without Darnay Holmes, the Coyotes rolled to a Divison V Championship taking out Capistrano Valley 35-14 over the weekend.
7. Edison (13-1)
The Chargers move way up and why not after beating a very good La Mirada team 44-24 to win the Div III Championship. Chargers only loss all season was to Mater Dei.
8. La Mirada (11-3)
The Matadores had won 10 straight games, in dominating fashion before falling to Edison in the Div III final. Still another great season for La Mirada.
9. Santa Margarita (7-5)
The Eagles closed the season strong with wins over Orange Lu, Servite and Serra before falling to eventual Div I champion St. John Bosco in the 2nd round.
10. Chaminade (8-4)
It was an up and down season for the Eagles but they blew out LB Poly in the first round and were competitive with Centennial before losing in the 2nd round. A lot of players coming back next year as well.
