Prep football power rankings: Lompoc looks to finish regular season on top

Lompoc started the season as the top team in The Tribune’s prep football power rankings, and with a win over one-win Cabrillo on Friday, it looks like the undefeated Braves will finish there, too. Paso Robles holds steady at No. 3 after a win over Righetti last week and looks to claim the PAC 5 title outright Friday against Atascadero. Games between Top 10 teams this week — including Santa Ynez-St. Joseph, Nipomo-Santa Maria. and Pioneer Valley-Righetti could shake up the list.
