All-State Football: Juniors

We are starting the release of the 36th annual Cal-Hi Sports all-state football teams today with honors for the top juniors and sophomores. CIF Open Division champ De La Salle leads the way for the juniors with three first-team selections. Bishop Amat, Long Beach Poly, Corona Centennial and St. John Bosco all have multiple honorees as well.

Congratulations to the following junior players for earning all-state recognition for the 2014 season from Cal-Hi Sports, which began these honors 36 years ago. The all-state honor teams for underclassmen (sophomores, juniors) are not intended as recruiting lists. We realize there are many talented younger players who will greatly improve in the coming months and may not have yet received the playing time needed to prove how good they are.
