SBLive's Central Coast Section Fab 15 football rankings: Salinas faces Aptos in Game of the Week

While the West Catholic Athletic League squads continue to beat each other up, the Pacific Coast-Gabilan hosts the Central Coast Section's Game of the Week. 

Third-ranked Salinas (6-0) tests its perfect record at red hot Aptos (5-1). 

Salinas, which has outscored opponents 270-115, has won four straight in the series including 42-14 last season. Aptos won the first three times in the series, three consecutive years, starting in 2014. 

Archbishop Mitty continues to surge up the rankings following a 34-13 romp over Riordan. The fourth-ranked Monarchs (5-1) take on No. 6 Bellarmine (3-3) at San Jose City College on Friday in one of the WCAL's best game.

Bellarmine has won the last two in that series, 42-24 and 26-24, snapping a three game Mitty win streak. 

At Kezar Stadium, the Bruce-Mahoney Trophy will be on the line when Sacred Heart Cathedral hosts St. Ignatius in one of the nation's top and longest-running rivalry games. 

Top-ranked Serra has to avoid a trap game Saturday when it travels to always dangerous Riordan.
