State rankings: Elk Grove, Grant climb; Del Oro, Granite Bay fall

Elk Grove has moved up three spots and Grant has climbed into the top 25 but Del Oro and Granite Bay have tumbled out of this week's Cal-Hi Sports State football rankings.

Elk Grove is now No. 13 after beating Lincoln in Stockton in its Zero Week opener on Friday. Grant moved into the top 25 at No. 22 after beating Paradise in Del Paso Heights.

But Del Oro and Granite Bay, No. 9 and No. 22, respectively, in the preseason rankings dropped out after losses to No. 4 Oaks Christian and No. 15 Westlake, respectively, in last weekend's Battle for Veterans at Del Oro.

Del Oro and Granite Bay also took hits in Cal-Hi's state bowl rankings.

Del Oro fell from No. 3 to No. 13 and Granite Bay from No. 7 to No. 14 in the unofficial Northern California Division I rankings.

Elk Grove climbed from No. 5 to No. 3 behind top-ranked De La Salle of Concord and No. 2 Bellarmine of San Jose. The two parochial school powers play each other on Friday.

Grant is No. 4 (from 15), Nevada Union No. 5 (from 14) and Pleasant Grove No. 8 (from 12). Folsom and Franklin are listed as bubble teams.

Placer is No. 2 behind Oakdale and Inderkum No. 9 and Casa Roble No. 10 in D-II; Bradshaw Christian is No. 3 behind No. 1 Central Catholic of Modesto and Ferndale in D-IV.

What You Should Know About Comments on Sacbee.com

Sacbee.com is happy to provide a forum for reader interaction, discussion, feedback and reaction to our stories. However, we reserve the right to delete inappropriate comments or ban users who can't play nice. (See our full terms of service here.)

Here are some rules of the road:

• Keep your comments civil. Don't insult one another or the subjects of our articles. If you think a comment violates our guidelines click the "report abuse" button to notify the moderators. Responding to the comment will only encourage bad behavior.

• Don't use profanities, vulgarities or hate speech. This is a general interest news site. Sometimes, there are children present. Don't say anything in a way you wouldn't want your own child to hear.

• Do not attack other users; focus your comments on issues, not individuals.

• Stay on topic. Only post comments relevant to the article at hand. If you want to discuss an issue with a specific user, click on his profile name and send him a direct message.

• Do not copy and paste outside material into the comment box.

• Don't repeat the same comment over and over. We heard you the first time.

• Do not use the commenting system for advertising. That's spam and it isn't allowed.

• Don't use all capital letters. That's akin to yelling and not appreciated by the audience.

You should also know that The Sacramento Bee does not screen comments before they are posted. You are more likely to see inappropriate comments before our staff does, so we ask that you click the "report abuse" button to submit those comments for moderator review. You also may notify us via email at feedback@sacbee.com. Note the headline on which the comment is made and tell us the profile name of the user who made the comment. Remember, comment moderation is subjective. You may find some material objectionable that we won't and vice versa.

If you submit a comment, the user name of your account will appear along with it. Users cannot remove their own comments once they have submitted them, but you may ask our staff to retract one of your comments by sending an email to feedback@sacbee.com. Again, make sure you note the headline on which the comment is made and tell us your profile name.
