All-State FB Noms (Central, LA, SD)

Here are the second, free-to-see nominations lists from the CIF Central Section, CIF L.A. City Section and CIF San Diego. This is part of the early stages of the selection process for our annual all-state teams, which this year will be the 41st consecutive year they have been done. As usual, we welcome additional nominations plus any and all input. It’s become a great way for us not only to collect additional nominees, but to learn so much more about many of the players. Separate, all-state nominations also are coming soon for the CIF Southern Section.

TO SEE ALL-STATE NOMINATIONS FROM THE CENTRAL COAST, NORTH COAST, OAKLAND, SAN FRANCISCO, NORTHERN AND SAC-JOAQUIN SECTIONS:
CLICK HERE.

Note: Cal-Hi Sports All-State Football content that will be for Gold Club members include second, final list of nominees plus second team, third team overall and All-State Juniors & Sophomores. The free posts will be first team overall and first team small schools and medium schools. If you can’t see this post and want to check out all of our rankings content, all of our all-state content and state record updates, you can check it out for just $3.99 to cover a one-month subscription. For info, CLICK HERE.

Please send any nomination with each athlete’s height, weight, position, year in school, significant statistics. Comparing a player not on the board yet to one who already is also can be very important toward eventual selection. Limit each nomination to one page please. Send to: markjtennis@gmail.com or call (209) 608-1317. Text messages to that number are okay as well.

The format we will continue to use is to honor a 30-player overall all-state first team with 30 more on second team. Each first team player is written up. There also are 30 for medium schools and 30 for small schools and yes we are struggling with what’s medium and what’s small with competitive equity. All that is certain is that players from large, public high schools will not be considered “small school.”

Don’t assume we know all there is to know about a player on the list, either. Send us info to make sure all pertinent information is turned in and placed into our files.

Special thanks for the work done on these nomination lists to Northern California correspondent Daniel Poulter. He’s a great follow on Twitter and did great work for us on our State Top 50 rankings packages this season. Check him out at @DanielJPoulter.
