St. Bernard Fifth in CIF Football Poll
The Vikings win again and climb in the Northwest Division rankings.
After improving to 4-0 last Friday, the St. Bernard High varsity football team jumped to No. 5 in this week's CIF Southern Section Northwest Division Top 10 rankings.
St. Bernard has already won more games than it did all of last season. The Vikings didn't need any late-game heroics in dispatching Lawndale at home 39-14. First-year head coach Larry Muno's squad plays its third straight home game Friday, taking on Cantwell-Sacred Heart in its Del Rey League opener.
Here's a look at this week's poll, as determined by the CIF Coaches committee:
