Serra 38, St. Ignatius 14. Saturday, Oct. 24, 1 p.m. PT, at Serra in San Mateo. The margin was 24 and it never felt accidental.

Here's the board picture Serra carried in. It sat No. 4 on the Oct. 20 NorCal Top 10, No. 20 on the Out West Top 25 that same day, up 2 from 22nd with a 6-1 record printed beside it, and No. 88 in the SPIN Power 100, down 1 from 87th. Three boards, one afternoon, one number that mattered by the end: 24.

St. Ignatius got its 14. Serra got 38. In a game with no overtime and no mystery after the fact, that's the whole arithmetic, and the Wildcats played it out on the host's field from kickoff to finish.

Afternoon football in San Mateo, settled by lunchtime standards. Serra made the day short.

Serra, No. 4 on the Oct. 20 NorCal Top 10, controlled a Saturday afternoon meeting with St. Ignatius and won by 24.

Nevada POP Rankings 2026, Top 10 at every position through Week 11: a silhouetted football player seen from behind in an empty stadium under crimson light with desert mountains, with the SPIN logo

**These are not opinion rankings.** Nobody at SPIN picks who is No. 1. POP, Production Over Potential, is calculated from what each player has actually done this season, game by game, from the box scores of his games, weighed for who he did it against and where. Stars, offers, highlight tapes and reputation are not in the math. Two things are: what he produced, and the competition he produced it against.

That is why big numbers against weak opponents do not rank high here, and why a big game against a great opponent is the most valuable thing on these boards. Consistency counts too: a full season of steady games is worth more than one monster night surrounded by quiet ones. The rules are set before the numbers come in, and they apply to every player in every region the same way.

Below: the Top 10 at every position across Nevada through Week 11, games of Oct. 22 to 24 included, plus the Two-Way board. The board covers every NIAA classification, 5A through 2A. The full Top 25 at every position, a Top 10 for every classification and every rated player in the state live on the [Player Rankings tab](/player-rankings), updated weekly.

- **Tamatoa Gaoteote of Bishop Gorman holds No. 1 at linebacker at 98**, down from 99, the highest rating in the state. Ky-Mani Blas-Barlow of Faith Lutheran moves to No. 2 (92). Tuitakali Croker of Liberty of Henderson enters the Top 10 at No. 10 (80, up from 72 and No. 28). Kazuya Lewis of Coronado holds No. 8 and moves to 84 after Coronado posted its 17-13 loss to Liberty.
- **Miah Milan of Damonte Ranch holds No. 1 at tight end (89) and No. 1 on the Two-Way board (88).** Braden McDonald of Spanish Springs holds No. 2 at tight end and moves to 83. The tight end pool in Nevada is small, 30 rated players, so ratings below the top two moved several points this week as the scale re-set; Nainoa Roston of Green Valley moves from No. 7 to No. 4 (78). Kru Brown of Desert Pines is new at No. 10 (70).
- **Matthias Rantissi of Coronado moves from No. 8 to No. 5 at running back (78)** after 79 yards on 20 carries against Liberty. Corey Hinton of Bishop Gorman holds No. 1 at 87 with teammates Noah Cole and Trey Washington at 81 behind him. Layton Bachhuber of Coronado climbs from No. 10 to No. 5 on the Two-Way board (75).
- **Treylon Fox of Faith Lutheran moves from No. 6 to No. 2 at defensive back (86)** after eight tackles and two passes defensed in the 20-16 win over Pinecrest Academy Sloan Canyon, and teammate Jaden Mason enters the Top 10 at No. 8 (83, from No. 14) after two interceptions in the same game; Mason also moves to No. 6 on the Two-Way board. Ace Brimmer of Faith Lutheran holds No. 1 at 91. Carter Christensen of Liberty of Henderson slips from No. 2 to No. 5 (85).
- **Zeke Peterson of Bishop Manogue moves from No. 5 to No. 3 on the defensive line (90)** after 10 tackles, five for loss, and three sacks in the 38-17 win over Spanish Springs. Caleb Lea'Ea of Bishop Gorman holds No. 1 at 91. Tasheed Hamilton of Legacy (No. 8, 85) and Andrew Klein of Faith Lutheran (No. 10, 82) enter the Top 10.
- **Thaddeus Thatcher of Arbor View holds No. 1 at quarterback (90)** and Zyren Menor of Bishop Gorman holds No. 1 at receiver (83), with Louden Cahill of Basic up to No. 2 (82). Jaelynn Love-Carter of Legacy enters the quarterback Top 10 at No. 10 (74).
- **Bishop Gorman holds 18 of the 70 Top 10 spots** across the seven position boards, Faith Lutheran eight, Liberty of Henderson seven. Sixty-five of the 70 belong to 5A programs; the 3A entries are Ryker Katich of Moapa Valley (TE No. 5) and Mike Popp of Spring Creek (TE No. 7), and the Two-Way board carries Nolen Francis of Spring Creek and Maxton Richardson and Calin Anderson of Churchill County.

**Coaches, post your box scores.** POP can only count what gets recorded. About six in ten Nevada team-games from Oct. 22 to 24 had a complete box score in when this week's numbers were run. Centennial of Las Vegas, Spanish Springs, Arbor View, Foothill, Green Valley and Clark posted offense only; Churchill County did not post. When a program posts no box score, or logs only part of what its players did, those players lose credit for work they actually did. Post full box scores, offense and defense, every week. If a stat is wrong, tell us and show us; the corrected rating shows on the next board.

A POP rating runs 25 to 99 on one national scale, so a 90 in Nevada means the same thing as a 90 in Utah or Southern California. GP is games with a posted stat line. Two-Way players must be rated on an offensive board and a defensive board; the Two-Way number is built from both sides.

How every number on this board is built: [the SPIN Production Rankings methodology](/articles/spin-production-rankings-how-pop-and-proof-work-what-goes/FB882453). Why we built it: [Stars Are a Bet. Yards Are a Receipt.](/articles/stars-are-a-bet-yards-are-a-receipt-just-ask/FB542443) Last week's board: [Nevada through Week 10](/articles/nevada-pop-rankings-2026-top-10-at-every-position-through-week/FB221096). This week's other boards: NorCal, SoCal and Arizona, all through Week 11, are on the Player Rankings tab. Utah had the week off and its Week 10 board stands.

The full Top 25 at every position, a Top 10 for every conference and every rated player in the state live on the [Player Rankings tab](/player-rankings), updated weekly.

- **Jason Haines of Liberty of Peoria takes No. 1 at quarterback (90, from No. 3)** after 208 yards and a touchdown on 28 attempts plus 43 rushing yards in the 38-7 win over Hamilton. Will Mencl of Chandler holds 90 at No. 2; Tee Smith of Casteel slips from No. 1 to No. 3 (89) after the 23-16 loss to Mountain View of Mesa. Jake Rogers of Basha moves from No. 7 to No. 4 (87) after 223 yards and two scores against Brophy College Prep.
- **Aidan Torres of Centennial of Peoria is No. 1 at linebacker (93)** after six tackles, two for loss, and two sacks in the 43-0 win over Mountain Ridge of Glendale; Jayden Arnold of Chandler, No. 1 a week ago, slips to No. 2 at 93 with Chandler posting offense only for its 79-0 win over Valley Vista. Preston Patterson of Mountain View of Mesa jumps from No. 12 to No. 3 (91) after an interception in the win over Casteel. Four more linebackers enter the Top 10: Brecken Garday and Lucien Tallman of Liberty, Asher Howard of Queen Creek and Carter Volrich of Casteel.
- **Luke Franklin of Centennial of Peoria is No. 1 on the defensive line (98)** after five tackles, two and a half sacks and an interception against Mountain Ridge. Ian Fullmer of Pinnacle (97) and Lachlan Geier of Queen Creek (97) are a point behind. Teammate Javier Chacon enters the Top 10 at No. 7 (92).
- **Kaden Miller of Liberty of Peoria holds No. 1 at defensive back (97).** Austin Reese of Chandler holds No. 2 but falls from 96 to 92: Chandler's 79-0 win over Valley Vista added a sixth game and no defensive production to his file, and POP is built per game against the competition faced. Billy Lewis of St. Mary's enters at No. 6 (90, from No. 17) after 12 tackles and two interceptions against Paradise Honors. Legarrette Blount Jr. of Mountain Pointe moves to No. 3 (92).
- **Romeo Jones of Williams Field jumps from No. 20 to No. 7 at running back (86, up from 81)** after 118 yards on five carries in the 63-17 win over Shadow Ridge. Noah Roberts of Basha holds No. 1 at 91. John Booker of Williams Field enters the receiver Top 10 at No. 7 (87). Braxton Huynh of Liberty holds No. 1 at receiver (92) and Torrin Hill of Centennial holds No. 1 at tight end (97).
- **Jai Jones of Chandler is off the Two-Way board** this week: Chandler has not posted defensive stats for its last two games, so his defensive side no longer clears the minimum. Ryder Noche of Brophy College Prep holds No. 1 on the Two-Way board at 87; Ace Rizzo of Mountain Ridge of Glendale is new at No. 7 (81).
- **Liberty of Peoria holds nine of the 70 Top 10 spots** across the seven position boards, Hamilton seven, Chandler, Mountain View of Mesa and Centennial of Peoria six each. Sixty-one of the 70 belong to 6A programs; the Two-Way board again carries the smaller conferences, with Corbin Wood of Show Low and Jaxon Crick of Round Valley (3A) inside its Top 10.

**Coaches, post your box scores.** POP can only count what gets recorded. About two in three Arizona team-games from Oct. 22 to 24 had a complete box score in when this week's numbers were run. Chandler, Williams Field, Highland of Gilbert and Westwood posted offense only. When a program posts no box score, or logs only part of what its players did, those players lose credit for work they actually did. Post full box scores, offense and defense, every week. If a stat is wrong, tell us and show us; the corrected rating shows on the next board.

Below: the Top 10 at every position across Southern California through Week 11, games of Oct. 22 to 24 included, plus the Two-Way board. The board covers the CIF Southern Section, San Diego Section and the southern Central Section. The full Top 25 at every position, a Top 10 for every section and every rated player in the region live on the [Player Rankings tab](/player-rankings), updated weekly.

- **Eight players stand at 99, all in SoCal.** Tegan Ogas of Norco (TE) and Kingston Jimmerson of Santa Margarita (DL) are back at 99 after a week at 98. Dailon Clanton of Mater Dei (LB No. 2) is new at 99 after 11 tackles, two for loss, a sack and a pass defensed in the 52-38 win over Orange Lutheran, and Hudson Manning of Chaminade (DL No. 2) is new at 99 after seven tackles, three for loss, and two sacks in the 21-7 win over Serra of Gardena. Braylin Spencer of JSerra (LB), Aydan Steen of Santa Margarita (LB), Caleb Joy of Chaparral (DL) and Kaleb Herndon of Santa Margarita (DL) hold.
- **Ca'ron Williams of Santa Margarita is No. 1 at defensive back (97)**, passing King Rich Johnson of Orange Lutheran (96, down from 97). Isaiah Danns of Mater Dei enters the Top 10 at No. 10 (93, up from 91 and No. 32) after an interception return for a touchdown against Orange Lutheran. Jordan Hicks of Mission Viejo climbs from No. 17 to No. 9 (94) and Josiah Rand of Chaminade from No. 13 to No. 7 (94).
- **Ezekiel Su'a of Mater Dei moves to 98 at linebacker (No. 4, up from 96)** after 13 tackles, two for loss, and an interception return for a touchdown against Orange Lutheran. Kane Casani of Loyola climbs from No. 10 to No. 5 (96) after 20 tackles in the loss to Bishop Amat, a night on which he also caught two passes for 58 yards; he enters the Two-Way board at No. 12.
- **Chris Flores Jr. of Orange Lutheran moves from No. 9 to No. 3 at receiver (96, up from 94).** Kuika Moaalii of St. John Bosco holds No. 1 at 98 and Michael (Kiko) Farinas of Chaparral No. 2 at 97. Jack Junker of Mission Viejo (No. 8, 94) and Gavin Honore of Mater Dei (No. 10, 94) enter the Top 10.
- **Jaden Jefferson of Centennial of Corona holds No. 1 at quarterback (95)** with Koa Malau'ulu of St. John Bosco at 95 behind him; Centennial posted its 41-27 win over Chaparral this week. Star Thomas III of Orange moves to No. 3 (93). Fletch Palmer of Santa Margarita (No. 8, 92) and Brett Burnor of Mission Viejo (No. 10, 91) enter the Top 10. Maliq Allen of St. John Bosco holds No. 1 at running back at 98; Asir Nembhard of Mater Dei moves to No. 2 (96).
- **Santa Margarita holds 11 of the 70 Top 10 spots** across the seven position boards, Sierra Canyon seven, Mater Dei six, St. John Bosco and JSerra five each. The Southern Section holds 64 of the 70, the San Diego Section five (Darian Webb of Carlsbad RB No. 3 the highest) and the Central Section one (Owen Yurosek of Bakersfield Christian, TE No. 6). Jaxson Rex of San Clemente holds No. 1 on the Two-Way board at 93, with Colin Hooper of Capistrano Valley now at 93 behind him.

**Coaches, post your box scores.** POP can only count what gets recorded. About six in ten Southern California team-games from Oct. 22 to 24 had a complete box score in when this week's numbers were run. Chaparral, Yorba Linda, Mission Hills and Carlsbad posted offense only; Cathedral Catholic, Servite, Palos Verdes and Serra of Gardena posted defense only. When a program posts no box score, or logs only part of what its players did, those players lose credit for work they actually did. Post full box scores, offense and defense, every week. If a stat is wrong, tell us and show us; the corrected rating shows on the next board.

A POP rating runs 25 to 99 on one national scale, so a 95 in Southern California means the same thing as a 95 in Utah or Arizona. GP is games with a posted stat line. Two-Way players must be rated on an offensive board and a defensive board; the Two-Way number is built from both sides.

How every number on this board is built: [the SPIN Production Rankings methodology](/articles/spin-production-rankings-how-pop-and-proof-work-what-goes/FB882453). Why we built it: [Stars Are a Bet. Yards Are a Receipt.](/articles/stars-are-a-bet-yards-are-a-receipt-just-ask/FB542443) Last week's board: [SoCal through Week 10](/articles/socal-pop-rankings-2026-top-10-at-every-position-through-week/FB796105). This week's other boards: NorCal, Arizona and Nevada, all through Week 11, are on the Player Rankings tab. Utah had the week off and its Week 10 board stands.
