With nine byes, there didn’t figure to be much movement in The Chronicle’s 25 high school football rankings and among the top 11 teams there was none.
Top-ranked De La Salle-Concord did lose - and decisively so - but it was to three-time defending mythical national champion Bishop Gorman-Las Vegas. Plus, the Spartans still haven’t lost to a local opponent since 1991, a span of 282 games.
The biggest mover was Clayton Valley-Concord, which jumped 11 spots after defeating previous No. 14 Antioch 55-22. The Ugly Eagles, who slumped in three out-of-state games, looked like the team ranked fourth to start the season while taking a 49-0 lead in the third quarter.
