Continuing to bounce around the state, our next stop in our series of preseason all-section or all-area football teams from around California is the East Bay portion of the CIF North Coast Section. This team also includes players from the very small CIF Oakland Section mixed in. Pittsburg and De La Salle both have the same number of players written up, which is another sign that the Pirates may have all they need to finally end the Spartans’ reign in the section.
Note: These preseason all-section or all-area teams are done in the same 30-player format as the annual Cal-Hi Sports All-State Football Teams. They are based on a combination of what the players did last fall and college recruiting. Not every all-section team will have writeups of every player. Some will have an intro, then lists.
