The 1994 showdown between running backs Daylon McCutcheon (La Puente Bishop Amat) & Steve Wofford (Bakersfield) and their unbeaten teams drew more than 23,000 to Bakersfield College on a perfect Saturday night for a game. Photo: Student Sports.
This is how the season looked after the fourth week during our week-by-week replay for three of the most exciting, unpredictable football seasons we’ve covered in our 40-plus years: 1981, 1994 and 2008. No. 1 teams remained Edison of Huntington Beach (1981), Bishop Amat (1994) and Long Beach Poly (2008). Amat had gone up to Bakersfield for a showdown and looked like the No. 1 team in the nation before more than 23,000 fans.

Like a memorable movie or perhaps any episode of Seinfeld, watching that movie or TV show more than once never gets old.
One of our features for the upcoming weeks when we’d normally be knee-deep in football coverage will be to replay three of the most exciting California high school football seasons from the preseason, every week during the regular season, then the playoffs and finally through the final state rankings.
