Ripon's four-game loss to Escalon Thursday proved to have big playoff ramifications. "This will likely drop us from a top-two (seed) to fourth," Ripon coach Larry Keethe said after Thursday's contest. His hunch was right.

The power ratings are used to ...

But the streak was an afterthought for Ripon coach Larry Keethe.
