No changes at the top of the CCCWPCA week six rankings
October 9, 2024
SARATOGA - West Valley and Long Beach remained in the top spots of the CCCWPCA men’s and women’s week six rankings, but there was some shuffling below. On the women’s side, Riverside and Santa Barbara traded spots for the 3rd straight week, while Sierra outpointed West Valley for 4th and Cypress joined the women’s Top Ten for the 1st time this year at #10. The top five spots in the men’s rankings were unchanged, but #6 Cuesta leapfrogged #7 American River. A number of ranked teams in both polls will battle each other at some big NorCal and SoCal tournaments this weekend, so there might be some transformation in week seven.
