LOUISVILLE, Ky. — Three wins, including a 3-1 victory over top-ranked Norco in the California Interscholastic Federation (CIF) Southern Section Division I championship game, vaulted Los Alamitos back to the No. 1 spot it occupied to open the season in the USA Today Sports/NFCA High School Super 25 poll.

The (28-3) Griffins also defeated Santiago, 4-1, and Orange Lutheran, 1-0, en route to the CIF title. The loss snapped a stretch during which new No. 2 Norco (33-1) had won 44 of its last 45 contests and had been ranked first for the past 10 weeks, since the second week’s poll on March 23.

Oak Park-River Forest (35-1) moved up to third after winning its 14th straight game to reach the Illinois state 4A semis, while No. 4 Woodinville (26-0) and No. 5 Bishop O’Connell (27-0) previously won state titles.

Crown Point (29-2), Oshkosh North (27-3) and previously unranked Egg Harbor (23-0) and Hurricane (36-1) surged into spots 7-10 in the rankings. Egg Harbor won its first New Jersey state championship, while Hurricane captured its third straight West Virginia crown.
