Their team at Cardinal Newman of Santa Rosa is not on NorCal bowl board, but RB Tanner Mendoza & QB Beau Barrington can check to see where team would fit if it were to win North Coast Section D3 title. That is one of the toughest divisions in Northern California and Cardinal Newman is playing Rancho Cotate this week in semis. Photo: Harold Abend.
We already have four teams in the north who have clinched bowl berths: De La Salle, Pittsburg, East Nicolaus and Chester. We also have a few changes and several new teams that are now appearing on our board. Leading the newcomers is unbeaten Charter Oak of Covina. Also coming in are St. Francis of Mountain View, Cajon of San Bernardino, Burbank and Orange.
