SoCal High School & Prep Report

USA Today Super 25: Week Two
Rankings Regionally--(December 29, 1997)

Go ahead, look for Mt. Zion. You won't see them either nationally, or even regionally. This list has got to be old, or Mr. Krider just isn't aware that Mt. Zion beat Rice in Vegas, and Compton lost in both Vegas and in the BIW. Or he's deaf, dumb and/or blind. We're not sure about his condition, but we are sure that these rankings should have changed online by now, but as of Monday, December 29, 1997, here's what's up over at the USA Today site. We'll list the West first, since that's where we are. At least that's where we were when we last checked.
