Centaurs Football Stays Put in Rankings

Culver City held its No. 9 spot in this week's Western Division Top 10 poll.

The CIF Southern Section office released its new football rankings, and remained in the No. 9 position in the Western Division after Zero Week games.

The Centaurs, who were No. 9 in the preseason poll, didn't play last week and open the season at home Friday against West Torrance.

Ocean League rivals Santa Monica and Beverly Hills are still on the "others" under consideration list, just outside of the Top 10. Both open the season on Friday, Samo against Leuzinger and Beverly Hills at Santa Barbara.
