The commitment of Charter Oak linebacker LaVar Arrington Jr. (left) in the summer to Penn State generated even more headlines on the East Coast than on the West Coast.

This is the final stop in our series of preseason all-section or all-area football teams in California for the 2024 season. It’s also the fifth one to complete the massive CIF Southern Section. In addition to the traditional San Gabriel Valley, this team also includes the Antelope Valley to the north plus private schools Loyola and Cathedral of Los Angeles.
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.
