More upsets hit California in the next-to-last week of the season in most regions of the State on Friday.

Six teams dropped games from the High School On SI Top 25 list, including four teams who lost to unranked teams.

Those included two squads from the San Diego Section: No. 9 Lincoln-San Diego and No. 16 Carlsbad to previously ranked Cathedral Catholic and La Costa Canyon, respectively.

Other Top 25 teams to lose were No. 11 Servite (to No. 1 St. John Bosco), No. 8 Los Alamitos (to Servite), No 12 Murrieta Valley (to Vista Murrieta) and No. 17 Damien (to Chino Hills).

Next week will be the last of the regular season in the San Diego, Southern, Los Angeles, Central and Sac-Joaquin Sections. The other five — Central Coast, San Francisco, Oakland, North Coast and Northern — will finish up the first week of November.

With 1-2 weeks left in the regular season, here is how California's elite handled business on Oct. 23-25.
