This is the final week of the regular season for teams hoping to make a move for the playoffs.
Northern Section brackets will be released on Saturday followed by Sac-Joaquin Section brackets on Sunday.
The biggest move came in Division II of the Sac-Joaquin Section where River Valley’s boys team dropped four spots from No. 12 to No. 16. Despite an impressive 18-5 record, the Falcons’ 6-2 mark in the division’s worst league resulted in their current ranking.
R.V. has lost two games in the TCC to Division III Natomas.
The other big drop was the Faith Christian boys squad, which may be in danger of losing a first-round home game with their drop from No. 7 to No. 10 in Division V. The Lions have two games this week to close the regular season.
In the Northern Section, the East Nicoluas girls squad dropped three spots in Division V.
