2013, Week 3: Leaders Continue to Hold Sway in U-T Poll

Oceanside gave up one first-place vote to Mission Hills, Poway made the top 10 after being idle in Week 1, and San Pasqual moved up.

All was almost quiet on the U-T San Diego prep football front.

The only significant changes took place in the “Others” category, which thinned out from a total 14 teams receiving votes in Week 2 to 8 this week.

Oceanside and Mission Hills are on a collision course. They’ll meet in a Week 5 wrapup of the nonleague season.

Oceanside’s hard-fought, 50-39 loss to Gardena Serra last week may have dimmed the Pirates hopes for action beyond the San Diego Section season, but it’s too early to rule them out.
