Heading into week 2 of the prep football season, the top 3 remain unchanged in the NC Times Sportswriters/Sportscasters Prep Football Poll. Oceanside picked up an extra first-place vote, so now there is just one holdout for LCC. Vista rose a spot and Carlsbad dropped out after losing their opener on a bad snap. The poll (with first-place votes in parentheses):
- Oceanside, 1-0 (18) beat Reed (Sparks, NV) 31-13
- La Costa Canyon, 1-0 (1) beat Salinas, CA 54-20
- Escondido, 1-0 beat Calexico 79-0
- Vista, 1-0 beat Mira Mesa 35-7
- Helix, 1-0 beat Rancho Buena Vista 23-19
- Cathedral Catholic, 1-0 beat Steele Canyon 27-7
- Eastlake, 0-0-1, tied Moorpark 20-20
- Valley Center, 1-0 beat San Pasqual 38-6
- Scripps Ranch, 1-0 beat Poway 37-14
- Mission Hills, 1-0 beat Tesoro 13-10
Next 10: St. Augustine, Valhalla, Ramona, Misson Bay, Grossmont, Carlsbad, Francis Parker, El Capitan, Madison, Lincoln.
After the jump, the 619 Sports ballot from Week 2:
619 Sports Prep Top-10 Ballot:
- Oceanside
- La Costa Canyon
- Escondido
- Vista
- Cathedral Catholic
- Valhalla
- Scripps Ranch
- Helix
- Eastlake
- Lincoln
Some thoughts: I had overlooked Vista in week one’s poll, but no longer after their thrashing of Mira Mesa. Scripps Ranch rose a spot with Clay shining in a big win over Poway, one of the more impressive wins of the opening weekend. I was the only person to put a vote in for Lincoln, and they did nothing to disappoint with a 63-14 smashing of Long Beach Cabrillo.
