Martin Henderson's vote from Patch.com

1. Mater Dei (2-0): The class of the field in the Trinity League.

2. Mission Viejo (2-0): Slow start against Corona Santiago an indicator that defense has yet to catch up to offense.

3. Servite (1-1): Victory over Long Beach Poly trumps just about every other victory by every other team in the county.

4. Santa Margarita (0-2): Winless against two non-OC opponents, but not convinced Edison or La Habra are better. 

5. Edison (2-0): Bigger games looming.

6. La Habra (2-0): Eric Barriere continues to be impressive.

7. JSerra (1-0): Lions had a bye last week and get a good test this week.

8. Trabuco Hills (2-0): Advantage of having a game under its belt helped against Newport Harbor. 

9. Tesoro (2-0): Along with Servite, might be the surprise of the young season. 

10. Huntington Beach (2-0): Against JSerra, we find out how slick the Oilers really are.
