Inland Area Prep Football Top 10
1. Redlands East Valley (9-0) — The Wildcats are the great benefactors in the aftermath of Norco’s victory over Corona Centennial in Week 9, moving up to the top spot following a 28-20 victory over Fontana Miller. Next Game: 7 p.m. Friday at Redlands.
2. Moreno Valley Rancho Verde (9-0) — The Mustangs are a dominant offensive force, posting their third consecutive performance of 65 points or more last week. Next Game: 7 p.m. Friday vs. Moreno Valley Canyon Springs.
3. Norco (8-1) — The Cougars’ last-minute victory over Corona Centennial in Week 9 was exceptional, albeit unexpected. A two-point conversion and a 29-28 victory? Who’da thunk it? Next Game: 7 p.m. Friday vs. Riverside Poly at Riverside King.
4. Corona Centennial (7-2) — Obviously, one team had to lose the game. Were the Huskies exposed? Next Game: 7 p.m. Friday at Corona.
5. Vista Murrieta (9-0) — In all likelihood, the Broncos will need a playoff victory over a team in the Top 4 to move up. Next Game: 7 p.m. Friday vs. Murrieta Valley.
6. Colton (8-1) — The Yellowjackets need to be wary of getting lazy playing against lackluster San Andreas League teams. Bigger tests await. Next Game: 7 p.m. Friday at San Bernardino Pacific.
7. Rancho Cucamonga (8-1) — The Cougars are hanging tough and can lock up a Baseline League title with a victory this week. Next Game: 7 p.m. Thursday vs. Rancho Cucamonga Etiwanda and Rancho Cucamonga Los Osos.
8. Perris Citrus Hill (9-0) — Is there anything RB Deontae Cooper cannot do? 6,000 career rushing yards? Check. Third consecutive undefeated season? Hmm… Next Game: 7 p.m. Friday at Hemet Tahquitz.
9. Ontario Colony (8-1) — The Titans are the class of the Mt. Baldy League, which wouldn’t mean a whole lot if not for the play of RB Jamil Austin. He’s the reason they’re on this list. Next Game: 7 p.m. Friday at Montclair.
10. Riverside Arlington (8-1) — The Lions make their first Top 10 appearance of the season following a 49-6 drubbing of Riverside La Sierra in Week 9. Next Game: 7 p.m. Friday at Moreno Valley Vista del Lago.
