It’s been almost two weeks since the first group of nominees for our upcoming Cal-Hi Sports All-State Football Teams were out for Northern California. This second group had to be done after all of the final state rankings were finished, but here they are. This will be the 44th consecutive season for these teams being done, which is why they are more prestigious than any others. This second group of nominees are from CIF Southern Section. The final group will be from the Central, San Diego and L.A. City sections. We welcome all additional nominations from anyone to make the final list.
CIF CENTRAL SECTION, SAN DIEGO & L.A. CITY WILL BE IN SEPARATE POST (still to come).
