Check back to this blog every week for updated top 25 state football rankings (with the best analysis anywhere), new CIF state bowl game rankings (there’s a reason 18 of the last 20 CIF bowl game participants were recommended by us), State Stat Stars of the Week and all-time state record updates. We will hopefully add more features in the coming weeks — such as a Mr. Football State Player of the Year tracker — and we fully expect to be providing the same features and rankings for the rest of the current school year in boys basketball, girls basketball, baseball and softball. Work on the state record book in all sports also is continuing as well. Contact editor Mark Tennis at markjtennis@gmail.com or call 209-463-9050.
