2022 Week 2: Carlsbad No. 1 in San Diego; Cathedral Still High in State

Despite a 42-7 loss to state No. 3 Corona Centennial, in which it manufactured only 138 yards offense, Cathedral still is held in high esteem by  the computer services.

Max Preps ranks Cathedral  fifth and gives the Dons a 60.7 strength-of-schedule rating, highest among any team in California.  Anaheim Servite (60.4) and Norco (60.1) are closest.

Cathedral remained the No. 10 team in the Cal-Hi Sports poll and their 60.6 Cal Preps.com score was higher than the previous week’s.  Computer rankings generally are based on who you play and who your opponents play.
