The touted player from Serbia lost a bid for varsity eligibility during an injunction hearing earlier this month.

More details to come.

I must be feeling confident about who's the best football team in the county when I'm writing about ... my No. 10.

In my voting this for the county rankings, I welcome back the La Habra Highlanders and San Diego State-commit Ronnie Hillman (left) to my top-10, replacing Esperanza. The Aztecs have been hanging on for weeks and going overtime against Marina- even though the Vikings are vastly improved - creates enough doubt.

Esperanza, of course, will have a chance starting this week against Newport to change my mind, so I'm not forgetting about the Aztecs and that defense.

I like the Highlanders for handing South Hills' its only loss to date and playing LosAl and San Clemente tough. Sure, I considered Dana but the Dolphins need at this point a higher quality victory than Foothill, another improving team.

Laguna Hills is out there, too, and I believe I'll be seeing the Hawks live this week, so we'll see.

Here's my top-10 vote this week:

1. Tesoro
2. Los Alamitos
3. Orange Lutheran
4. Mater Dei
5. Edison
6. San Clemente
7. Mission Viejo
8. Servite
9. Newport Harbor
10. La Habra

• Top 10 gets new No. 1 and a new entry

On Oct. 15, an Orange County judge denied the Serbian varsity eligibility in an injunction hearing, siding with the Southern Section's definition of enrollment. But attorney Richard Bridgford is seeking reconsideration in the case based on state and Southern Section rules and guidelines for the summer.

Summer contact has been an obstacle for Babovic since he played for Corona del Mar during a summer tournament in Hungary.

"In a nutshell, as with any other incoming student, Babovic was eligible to participate in water polo at Corona del Mar High School prior to his attendance in the Fall under what is known as the CIF Summer Rules," Bridgford wrote in an e-mail.

In other news later Friday night, the attorney for Corona del Mar goalie Martin Babovic said he will be in court Monday morning for reconsideration in a case that left the Serbian ineligible for varsity play. Richard Bridgford said in an e-mail that new evidence has been discovered. Stay tuned for more details.

It wasn't exactly a slam-dunk but my vote for No. 1 in the county football poll went to Tesoro, which knocked off previously No. 1-ranked Mission Viejo in impressive fashion. Tesoro can play better than it did Friday and that should be a scary thought for San Clemente this week.

Tesoro could have won that game at least 38-14 but didn't capitalize on some chances in the third quarter.

I heavily considered Los Alamitos. I saw them beat Narbonne and Narbonne would beat some county top-10 teams. The Griffins might not be dazzling the pollsters, but they are getting the job done. Kinda of like Clark Evans. He sometimes isn't pretty but he gets the job done, is super tough and makes big plays.

I also looked long and hard at Edison. The Chargers' loss to Servite hurts their case but before it is all said and done, they could still get my No. 1 vote.

With the parity in county football, there certainly is a chance the South Coast or Sunset league champions won't be 5-0.

Ok, so here's what the vote I submitted:

1. Tesoro
2. LosAl
3. Edison
4. Mater Dei
5. OLu
6. San Clemente
7. Mission Viejo
8. Servite
9. Newport Harbor
10. Esperanza

Yep, Orange County Superior Court Judge Steven L. Perk, who denied an eligibility bid by Corona del Mar goalie Martin Babovic on Wednesday, has a daughter at Tesoro and had a son, Brian, attend Tesoro.

Brian is a very good soccer goalie at UCLA.
