This year, for the first time ever, we gathered our top four state rankings compilers into one room to come up with the preseason pecking order. Oaks Christian of Westlake Village grabs the No. 1 ranking and will play another top 25 squad in its first game. Check back tomorrow for teams ranked from No. 26 to No. 50 and for other teams on the bubble.

These rankings also represent the official start of our coverage for the 2009-2010 school year, which is our 31st year under the name Cal-Hi Sports, CalHighSports.com or CalHiSports.com. We consider our preseason rankings to be more of a starting point to the season instead of a prediction as to which teams we think will be the best at the end. Due to deadlines, we also do not have the opportunity to consider how the state's local newspapers have ranked the teams in their area. Once the regular season starts, the CalHiSports.com state rankings would include local consensus as part of the criteria. All content is free on CalHiSports.com and our state rankings have more experience behind them than any other free or subscription-based site.

1. Oaks Christian (Westlake Village) 14-0
Going with the Lions at the top of the state to start 2009 makes sense on a number of fronts. First, they're loaded with top players returning from an unbeaten team, including running back-linebacker Malcolm Jones, the 2006 state freshman of the year and 2007 state sophomore of the year, and quarterback Nick Montana, a Washington commit who passed for 2,404 yards and 33 TDs last season. Second, they are playing a much more challenging schedule than any previous team in school history. This includes an opening game vs. No. 22 Alemany of Mission Hills, a high-profile ESPNU-televised matchup on Sept. 18 vs. Skyline of Sammamish, Wash., and some potential showdowns in the CIF Southern Section Northwest Division playoffs. Beating Skyline would make the Lions a more solid No. 1 in the state overall since the Spartans are a two-time defending state champ and are No. 9 in the preseason ESPN RISE FAB 50. Oaks Christian, which is No. 6 in the preseason FAB 50, also will be led this season by all-state underclass defensive tackle Cassius Marsh, all-state candidate offensive tackle Erik Kohler, BYU-bound linebacker Zac Stout and Division I college prospect defensive end Alani Fua.

2. St. Bonaventure (Ventura) 13-1
Yes, let the St. Bonnie vs. Oaks Christian debate begin. And if the Seraphs, who have 11 starters back from last year's CIF Division III state bowl game championship team, can beat Long Beach Poly in a major early-season showdown and then go unbeaten for the regular season, the back-and-forth jockeying will get even more intense. The strengths of the St. Bonnie resume is that there are standouts returning on both sides of the ball. On offense, QB Logan Meyer passed for 2,311 yards and 27 TDs while running back Devon Blackledge rushed for 1,189 yards and 17 TDs. On defense, there may not be a team in the state with linebacking duo like Dylan Davis and P.J. Gremaud. Both are Division I recruits. Also back for head coach Todd Therrian, who has captured two consecutive CIF Div. III state bowl game crowns, are offensive tackle Giovanni DiPoalo (6-5, 255), who just committed to USC, defensive back Troy Hill, who also will likely sign with a Pac-10 school, and junior defensive end Cody Kurz (6-2, 230), who was an all-state sophomore.

3. De La Salle (Concord) 12-2
Many of the best teams in the Spartans' legendary history are those that have experienced offensive and defensive lines. That's the storyline for this year and if the skill position players come through it could be memorable season on Winton Avenue. Leading the charge up front will be returning all-state sophomore Dylan Wynn (6-2, 225) on defense and Thomas Hickel (6-3, 245) on offense. The linebackers on defense also should be stout with all-state sophomore Blake Renaud and Alex Taylor both back. From the speed department, the secondary may include three of the four sprinters on DLS' third-place CIF state meet 4x100 relay team: Tyler Anderson, Terron Williams-Ward and Ken Egu. Anderson and Williams-Ward, of course, also figure to be primary ball carriers on offense. The real question mark is at quarterback where Travis Pacos, a sophomore on the varsity a year ago, is the possible leading candidate. And while De La Salle could be better than last year, the schedule is perhaps the toughest the school has ever played, so the win-loss record might not reflect any improvement. In addition to traveling to New Jersey for the second game against nationally-ranked Don Bosco Prep, the Spartans also will host nationally-ranked Lakeland of Florida on Sept. 25 in a game that will be shown nationally on ESPNU.

4. Lutheran (Orange) 10-3
Based on this ranking, we'd have the Lancers as the No. 1 team to start in the prestigious CIF Southern Section Pac-Five Division. That's definitely a soft ranking, but here's why it happened. First, Orange Lutheran is ranked higher than the Notre Dame of Sherman Oaks team it defeated in last year's quarterfinals. Second, the Lancers certainly have more back than defending champion Long Beach Poly, who have to be ahead of Lakewood due a 27-year winning streak. Five starters return on offense for head coach Jim Kunau, led by QB Bobby Wheatley. On defense, LB Garret Gilliland is one of the best at his position in Southern California. Other key returnees include RB Damani Wilson, PK Parker Flynn and OL-DL Sean McEvilly. The Lancers actually start their season this weekend in Ohio with a game against Pickerington Central. NOTE: Orange Lutheran has lost in its game in Ohio, falling to Pickerington Central, 28-14. These preseason rankings were compiled before that one game was played. Pickerington Central is one of the top five-ranked teams in its state.

5. Notre Dame (Sherman Oaks) 11-1
When there's a returning player like Ryan Kasdorf, it's only natural for that team to be ranked high in any preseason list. As a junior, before the playoff loss to Orange Lutheran, Kasdorf was perhaps the leading state player of the year candidate. The quarterback threw for 3,291 yards and 36 TDs and also rushed for 628 more yards and six more scores. But there's more back at Notre Dame than just Kasdorf. RB Kenny Boggs rushed for more than 1,000 yards while the offensive line includes All-CIFSS pick Ben Gottschalk. If head coach Kevin Rooney can replace the many top wideouts that helped Kasdorf do so well last year, then the Knights will be very tough to beat.

6. Grant (Sacramento) 14-0
The last time we saw the Pacers was when they were parading through the streets of Sacramento after their historic 25-20 win over Long Beach Poly in the CIF Open Division bowl game. Most of the team is gone, especially QB Kipeli Koniseti, WR Darvin McCauley and all the linebackers. Still, there's little doubt that head coach Mike Alberghini's team should be the preseason No. 1 team in the Sac-Joaquin Section. RB Devontae Butler is one of the best in the West with nearly 1,900 yards as a junior. Also still on hand is Viliami Moala, one of the top junior defensive linemen in the nation. Junior Darryl Paulo (6-2, 245) and Puka Lopa will head up the offensive line and there's plenty of upcoming talent from the J.V. That best of that group is WR/DB Shaq Thompson, younger brother of current University of California All-American Syd-Quan Thompson. Grant's schedule consists of nine likely wins with a major showdown. That showdown takes place on Sept. 19 in Seattle when the Pacers will play Bellevue, Wash. If Bellevue, which is No. 20 in the preseason ESPN RISE FAB 50, were to beat Katy of Texas one week earlier then the Grant-Bellevue game will take on added significance.

7. Poly (Long Beach) 14-1
The two-time defending CIF Southern Section Pac-Five Division champions were one defensive stop from winning the CIF Open Division bowl game and earning state team of the year honors, but Grant of Sacramento made the big plays to beat them, 25-20. They open the season one spot behind the Pacers despite the loss of 11 starters on defense and two-year starting QB Morgan Fennell. The new QB will be looking for senior WR Kaelin Clay (5-11, 175) a big-play specialist who could help to open up Poly's vaunted running game. Coach Raul Lara (94-14 won-loss record) is also excited about the ability of WR Alex Cannon (5-11, 165), a senior who has been oft-injured as an underclassman and adds depth to a receiving corps that should be strong. RB Cory Westbrook (5-11, 185) has seen spot duty the past two seasons, but the coaching staff expects a big year from him. The defense needs rebuilding, but that area has been Lara's strength since taking over from Jerry Jaso in the 2001 season. One newcomer who should make an impact is DB Kameron Jackson, a junior who had an outstanding summer. Poly reloads unlike any other team in the state and we'll see what they have on deck with a non-league schedule that includes No. 12 Servite, No. 2 St. Bonaventure, No. 37 Narbonne and No. 10 Oceanside.

8. Lakewood 10-3*
The Lancers are definitely the trickiest team to rank heading into the 2009 season. They are getting a ton of preseason publicity and we've seen them rated as high as No. 7 nationally in one poll. On one hand, you got to love the returning talent, especially at the skill positions, but on the other hand, they haven't defeated Moore League rival and No. 7 Long Beach Poly since the 1982 season. With the return of Elite 11 QB Jesse Scroggins, the Lancers have a good chance to win the league title and possibly the coveted CIFSS Pac-Five Division title. Last year, he passed for 2,556 yards and 24 touchdowns and is the league's best drop-back quarterback in the past 10 years. He'll be throwing to talented WRs Kevin Anderson (6-0, 185), Chris Davis (5-7, 165) and Ron Lewis, the Lancers' lone all-tournament selection at the Nike 7ON national passing tournament in Oregon. Leading a defense with six returning starters is senior DT Justin Utupo (6-2, 245), who is bound for Notre Dame. There are at least six Div. I recruits on the roster, but it should be noted that even with talented RB Jerry Stone (who will not play for Lakewood this year), the Lancers would have landed in the same spot in these ratings. In our rankings system, a team that hasn't beaten a league foe for 27 straight years is not handed a higher ranking over that league foe. For Lakewood to be higher than Poly in the rankings, it only makes sense for Lakewood to have to beat Poly on the field.

9. Centennial (Corona) 15-0
The Huskies have emerged as a statewide power over the past decade with a combination of innovative and quality coaching, increased talent level and aggressive scheduling. The culmination of that rise was Centennial's 21-16 victory over De La Salle of Concord in last year's CIF Div. I bowl game. Coach Matt Logan graduated a state-leading nine players to Div. I colleges and 15 players that will play college football somewhere this fall, but he has just enough coming back (eight returning starters) and a 10-0 J.V. team coming up to crack the top 10. Senior LB Brandon Brown (6-2, 245) returns to lead the defense while the most important offensive player may end up being K Trevor Romaine, who should end his career high on the all-time state list for career kicking points. Centennial opens up with No. 13 Chaparral and then takes on No. 27 Mater Dei, so we'll know right away if any team from the Inland Empire deserves to be rated ahead of them.

10. Oceanside 12-0-1
When coach John Carroll says he likes his team, look out. The Pirates have not lost since 2006, going 27-0-1 during that span while capturing a state Division II bowl title along the way. A 33-33 tie against Valley League foe Ramona prevented the Pirates from a return trip to a bowl game last season. Of the seven returning starters on each side of the ball, five have already committed to D1 colleges: WR Jerry Whittaker (Arizona), DL Thomas Molesi (Oregon State), LB Jake Fely (San Diego State), DB-WR King Holder (San Diego State) and LB Rene Siluano (San Diego State). The only question mark revolves around depth, as the Pirates must remain healthy to make another run at the state bowl game. The schedule is plenty challenging, starting with Reed of Sparks, Nev., and including No. 7 Long Beach Poly.

11. Monte Vista (Danville) 8-3
The second-highest-ranked team from the Bay Area returns only six starters (three on each side of the ball) but two of them may be amongst the best at their position in Northern California. That would be QB Brett Nottingham and LB Dave Wilkerson. The 6-4, 210-pound Nottingham, the "sleeper” of the Nike Football Training Camp in May, a showing that eventually led to an offer from UCLA, returns after throwing for 2,797 yards and 34 TDs as a junior. Wilkerson is a 6-3, 235-pound bone-crushing tackler committed to Cal who also rushed for 390 yards and eight touchdowns last season as the starting fullback. Dane Turner moves into the starting wide receiver slot and Joe Labarbera, an all-league selection at linebacker last season, will perform double-duty as the starting tight end. The problem for veteran head coach Craig Bergman's squad could be depth, especially during East Bay Athletic League play. The Mustangs will find out right away if they belong with the state's elite. After a non-league opener at James Logan of Union City, they host No. 21 Pittsburg and open league play at home versus No. 3 De La Salle.

12. Servite (Anaheim) 7-4
Most coaches will tell you if there is one position they want manned with an experienced player, it's quarterback. Servite coach Troy Thomas has that luxury with 6-2, 210-pound Cody Fajardo, who can beat you in the air or on the run. Athletic Chris Nicholls (5-8, 150) is a key player on both sides of the ball and up front veterans Matthew Jakubiec (a 300-pounder who may miss some time with a knee injury) and Kirifi Taula (285) will anchor the line. The real question may be if Servite can survive its schedule, which is arguably the toughest one we've ever seen in our 30 years of covering prep football. Not only do they compete in one of the state's toughest leagues but their non-league schedule reads like Murderer's Row: No. 7 Long Beach Poly, Clovis West of Fresno, No. 23 Crespi, No. 16 Edison and No. 13 Chaparral (Temecula). Servite could conceivably have a losing record and still be one of the better teams in the state.

13. Chaparral (Temecula) 12-2
Last year the Pumas had the perfect balance of a huge, veteran line and skilled youngsters. Now, reverse it. Returning is RB Jonathon Diaz, who rushed for 2,084 yards and 32 touchdowns, and QB Mitch Glasmann, who passed for 1,774 yards and 17 more scores. There are a total of eight starters returning on offense and seven on the other side of the ball, led by DB Darius Guillory. If there is concern, it would be from tackle to tackle where a lot of size and experience graduated. The Pumas lost their only two games to state team of the year Corona Centennial and they open with the defending Div. I state bowl game champions. The winner will be the Inland Empire team to beat during the regular season.

14. St. Mary's (Stockton) 12-3
For offensive firepower, there isn't a better group of skill players in Northern California than the group at St. Mary's. WR Josh Harper is headed to Cal after catching 67 passes for 1,024 yards and 10 TDs. WR Louie Lechich had even more catches with 80 for 1,090 yards while RB Maurice Howze also is one of the best in the Sac-Joaquin Section with 1,355 yards rushing. Yet another receiver coming back is Alex Michaels, who had 42 grabs as a sophomore. QB Cody Vaz is now at Oregon State, but the Rams have Marcus McDade (6-3, 190) ready to assume control. McDade emerged over the spring and summer into one of the top college QB prospects in Northern California. Head coach Tony Franks will have to rebuild on defense and up front, but he's confident that the upcoming players will be more than solid. St. Mary's is once again playing Jesuit of Carmichael and Bellarmine of San Jose before hosting Los Banos and then traveling to Lincoln in its first four games. A 4-0 start would cement the team's status as one of the best in the state.

15. Crenshaw (Los Angeles) 8-4*
The Cougars open up as the favorites in the CIF L.A. City Section after advancing to the section semifinals last year, only to see their young team give away the game to eventual co-champion Narbonne. The reason Crenshaw rates this high is not because of the amount of returnees (10 plus a 9-0 J.V.), but because of who those returning players are. De'Anthony Thomas (5-9, 165) rushed for over 1,100 yards last season and constantly made highlight plays in the secondary. As a sophomore, "The Black Mamba" was not only named Coliseum League MVP, but also state sophomore player of the year. LB Hayes Pullard (6-2, 215) has been named Coliseum League Defensive Player of the Year the past two seasons and he doubles as a bruising FB with speed. Junior QB Marquis Thompson (5-11, 170) should benefit from a year of experience under his belt while junior DE James Brock (6-4, 240) really came on at the end of the season. When he's not handing off to Thomas or Pullard, Thompson will be looking for speedster Gregory Ducre (5-10, 170) on the outside. Depth in the lines is a concern, but we'll find out just how big a problem that will be right away as the Cougars open up with No. 7 Lakewood and then take on No. 33 Norco.

16. Edison (Huntington Beach) 7-3
If veteran coach Dave White can get his line play up to par with his skill position players, the Chargers will not only make the CIFSS Pac-Five Division playoffs, but they might make a deep run. Over the summer, the Chargers won the prestigious Dana Hills Air Strike and their own passing tournament, defeating many of the SoCal's top-ranked teams in the process. Roman Sapolu (6-2, 246) anchors inexperienced lines, but the skill position players should alleviate some pressure off them because they are so cohesive. QB Matt Viles (6-3, 190) is one of the most improved signal-callers in SoCal, and his favorite targets will be versatile Jeff Trojan (6-3, 180) and diminutive Mike Rivera (5-8, 155). If talented junior RB Davion Orphey (6-1, 185) can have a breakout season, the offense should really roll. LB Jordan Zumwalt, the Sunset League Defensive POY, anchors the defense. The beginning portion of Edison's schedule is not overwhelming, so remaining healthy will be key as the Chargers gear up for No. 12 Servite and No. 27 Mater Dei before jumping in league play.

17. Taft (Woodland Hills) 11-2
The Toreadors rate only a tad bit behind Crenshaw in these ratings and both are the prohibitive favorites to reach the L.A. City Section Div. I title game. The Shaw has slightly more team speed, but Taft is slightly better on the lines, especially on the defensive side. DE Brent Williams (6-3, 190) returns after recording 17 sacks and 29 tackles for loss last season. Taft coach Matt Kerstetter feels junior Antwaun Woods (6-1, 275) is as good as any DT in SoCal. If Agoura transfer Lucky Radley (5-11, 175) meshes in with the returnees at linebacker or safety, the defense could be lights out. Radley can also contribute on offense, but even if he doesn't that unit should be in good hands with D.J. Morgan (5-9, 170) returning to the fold. The USC commit can run and catch the ball with equal effectiveness. Coach "K" also has the luxury of a veteran QB in Bam Goodall, who can also play in the defensive secondary. After week two, when Taft plays No. 5 Notre Dame, we should get a good idea how the team stacks up with Crenshaw.

18. Mission Viejo 10-2
Expectations are always high for coach Bob Johnson's program, but it's been four years since the Diablos have been a nationally-rated program and last year they lost supremacy in the South Coast League to Pac-Five finalist Tesoro. That should change this year if Johnson develops a QB, and that just happens to be his specialty. There are five starters returning on each side of the ball, an up-and-coming 10-0 J.V. club along with Orange Lutheran transfer Exavier Edwards at RB. Johnson also likes his wide receiver corps while LBs Nick Dzubuar and Zac Hoffman lead the defense. Johnson also welcomes the return of Marty Spaulding, one of the nation's best line coaches who should help the Diablos once again become physical up front, something they have been lacking the past few seasons. That transformation might not happen right away but the regular season schedule isn't overwhelming, either.

19. Granite Bay 9-2
Most teams that return little or no starters usually are not ranked at all, let alone in the top 25, but the Grizzlies are always a senior-oriented team that find a way to contend each year. This year's seniors have been hugely successful on the lower levels, which has been a good sign in the past for teams coached by Ernie Cooper. Devaunte Bolton (5-10, 205) will probably be the senior to step up in the rushing game after limited carries last year while LB Mike Wade (5-10, 185) and FS Andrew Knapp each had 28 tackles last year and will lead the defense. Last season, the Grizzlies were possibly a couple of plays away from a trip down to Carson for the CIF Bowl Games as their only losses were to Roseville (35-34) and to eventual open division bowl champions Grant of Sacramento (22-19) in the CIF Sac-Joaquin Section Div. II playoffs. Granite Bay will have a chance to show it deserves a high rating right away as they open with No. 21 Pittsburg.

20. Serra (Gardena) 13-1
The Cavaliers have a plethora of talent at the skill positions, including recent USC commit Robert Woods (6-1, 185), arguably the state's top two-way threat. At the Nike 7ON this past summer, junior George Farmer (6-2, 200) showed why he is one of the nation's top underclass players at WR/DB. Depth was added when Paul Richardson, another talented WR, transferred over from Los Alamitos. RB Domonique McGee takes over for the departed Carl Winston and junior Connor Preston takes over under center for the graduated Ted Landers. The development of those two players, along with tightening up the run defense, will be critical to the Cavaliers' fortunes. Their toughest regular season game might come against No. 17 Taft while fans are eyeing an eventual showdown with top-rated Oaks Christian in the CIFSS Northwest Division playoffs.

21. Pittsburg 11-2
The last Northern California team to beat De La Salle has many gridiron aficionados thinking this year's squad could possibly be the one to do it again, duplicating a feat the Pirates accomplished back in 1991. Pirates' Coach Vic Galli enters his ninth season with a 59-24-1 record, having won seven of eight Bay Valley League titles, including the last three, with eight of the losses to Sparta. Although the team only returns five starters, three of those are seniors with D1 college offers. The top returnee is 6-0, 205-pound RB/DB Erick Dargan, who rushed for 769 yards and 11 TDs and recorded 72 tackles as a junior. The other two are 5-10, 175-pound RB/DB Tracy Clark and 5-11, 195-pound WR/DB Robert Jiles. The Pirates bring up a new quarterback from the JV squad, but Galli tells CalHiSports.com he feels "when all is said and done,” that 5-11, 185-pound junior Julius Mozee may be the best signal-caller he's ever had. The Pirates have one of NorCal's toughest non-league schedules, too, including Burbank of Sacramento, No. 19 Granite Bay, No. 11 Monte Vista and Berkeley.

22. Alemany (Mission Hills) 11-2
Alemany opens the season as the team to beat in the CIFSS Western Division, although defending champion Quartz Hill, Palmdale and Mira Costa of Manhattan Beach might have something to say about that. We like the Warriors because of what they return on offense. Even though they must replace their starting quarterback, junior QB Vernon Adams should benefit greatly from a veteran offensive line plus the return of RB Malcolm Marable. The three-time all-league choice rushed for 1,655 yards and 23 TDs last year and could end up with more impressive numbers this season. Alemany also returns five starters on defense with depth added from a 9-1 J.V. club. Coach Dean Herrington feels this team could be his best yet and the Warriors will be tested right off the bat against preseason No. 1 Oaks Christian.

23. Crespi (Encino) 6-4
There are at least five players who started as sophomores on the Crespi team that advanced to the CIFSS Pac-Five finals two years ago, but a couple of factors prevent a higher preseason rating. There isn't much depth, so the Celts have to avoid injury and last year Crespi stumbled badly in Serra League play, finishing 0-3 and missing the Pac-Five playoffs. If the Celts can remain healthy and peak during league play, the pieces are in place for a fine season. Six foot-3, 180-pound Bryan Bennett leads the offense, as the University of Oregon recruit passed for more than 1,600 yards last year. He also has leading receiver Blake Stanton returning and diminutive Brandon Graves (5-7, 160) should also shine. Big things are also expected of junior RB Rhasheed Johnson with Hroniss Grasu (6-3, 250) and Ben Loth (6-5, 270) ready to open up holes and keep Bennett healthy. The schedule is stacked again with the only easy win seemingly being the opener against Lancaster.

24. Serra (San Mateo) 8-4
The Padres are in the same boat as just about everyone else in the West Catholic Athletic League. They lost a ton of starters, returning only five seniors, with three on offense and two on defense. Three of the five, however, play on both sides of the line of scrimmage and coach Patrick Walsh may have one of his fastest teams ever. The best of the crop is Adonis Smith, a speedy 5-10, 185-pound RB/DB who has seven D1 offers after rushing for 492 yards and seven touchdowns last season. Another speedster is 5-9, 155-pound WR DonAndre Clark, who according to Walsh can run 10.8 over 100 meters. Other returnees are Paul Bevilacqua, a 240-pounder that will anchor the O-line and play LB on defense, LB Eric Tuipulotu and FS Matt Vinal (6-2 190), who will also play RB. Cody Jackson is gone after three years at QB, but the new signal-caller in Walsh's four wide-receiver set is junior Andy McAlindon (6-5, 200), who the coach tells CalHiSports.com he thinks "will fit nicely in the system.” The Padres will find out right away if they have the right stuff as they open on the road next Friday against No. 3 De La Salle.

25. Rancho Cucamonga 13-0-1
Second team all-state QB Greg Watson returns for the Cougars, who figure to be able to match or better the 30.6 points a game they scored last year. The 6-foot, 190-pound Watson passed for 2,644 yards with 19 touchdowns against just five interceptions. He also rushed for 884 yards and has one of his favorite targets, 6-5, 225-pound tight end Randall Telfer (42 catches, 677 yards), returning. It won't be a one-man show, either, as junior Sateki Finau just missed the 1,000 yards plateau when he gained 926 yards and averaged 7.24 a pop. The Baseline League champions, who reeled off 10 straight wins at the close of the season, including a 21-7 victory over league foe Upland in the CIFSS Central Division championship game, return just four starters on defense but the schedule is not overwhelming. The most challenging foe will likely be No. 39 Charter Oak, a team the Cougars tied, 14-14, in 2008.
