One of the biggest Bell Games played between Edison (Huntington Beach) and Fountain Valley took place in 1981 regular season finale. Photo is from more recent game. At right is Ramona High helmet with mascot. The Bulldogs shook up the final regular season rankings in 1994 with a tie that also broke Oceanside’s 21-game win streak.

This is how the season looked after the 10th 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, Bishop Amat of La Puente and Long Beach Poly (but spoiler alert one of them isn’t going to be there after Week 11). We also go over details of a player from a state-ranked team in 1994 who set state career TDs record plus there was an eight-man playoff game with a California team that ended with the insane score of 128-74.

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.
