Stats of the Week

Following the Nordhoff loss the Lions were dropped from the CIF Southern Section rankings (top 10) for the first time since the start of the 2001-2002 season. A streak that extended six seasons has ended. Coach Hethcock expressed relief at the deminished attention since rankings have no impact on the regular season.

This is interesting because OC has only lost to four games to division 5 schools since January of 2003 (twice to Nordhoff). OC has played a total of 97 games versus CIF SS D5 schools since the prgram's beginning in 2000-2001 with an all-time record of 80 wins, 10 losses and 7 ties.
