All-State Football Nominees (NorCal)
We begin the process of choosing the players for the 47th annual Cal-Hi Sports all-state football teams. This is the first of three lists of players considered as nominees for the various 2024 season squads. These are from the CIF sections in Northern California (except the Central Section). The Central, LA City & San Diego […]
Preseason NCS Redwood Empire Team
We stay inside the CIF North Coast Section for our next stop in our series of preseason all-section or all-area football teams from around California, going from the East Bay portion of the section to the Redwood Empire. We do the Redwood Empire separately since it is the home of associate editor Harold Abend as...
Preseason Sac-Joaquin Sec FB Team
For this next stop in our series of preseason all-section or all-area football teams from around the state we travel back up north for a look at the CIF Sac-Joaquin Section. This has been the domain of Folsom and the Bulldogs have a couple of big transfers added into their mix of stellar returnees off...

Preseason All-NCS/East Bay FB Team
For this next stop in our tour of the state through preseason all-section, all-area or all-county football teams we hit the first one for the San Francisco Bay Area.

Preseason All-Sac-Joaquin Sec FB Team
We now head to the north for the third stop in a tour of the state through the selection of preseason football honor squads. This time, it’s our home base area with the CIF Sac-Joaquin Section. Folsom is the obvious team to beat and has many written up on this team. Among other schools with...
