Enhanced Regional FB Matchups

FINAL Regional FB Bowl Projections
These final projections were completed on Saturday night after all CIF section championship games are in the books. It only takes one or two projections to not match what the CIF actually announces to mix up the games we’ve recommended as each choice acts like a ripple down through the rest of the lineup. Still, […]
Different MD win vs Bosco for title
It wasn’t close to the 59-14 triumph from earlier this season, but national/state No. 1 Mater Dei of Santa Ana tops state No. 2 St. John Bosco of Bellflower, 31-24, to win its second straight CIF Southern Section D1 championship.

But did Centennial’s 25-20 triumph over the Diablos wrap up another State Public School of the Year selection for the […]
Football: Public School State TOYs
Here’s a look at what we consider the No. 1 public schools for each year of California high school football going back to 1990. It’s much different that State Team of the Year, which has been Mater Dei, St. John Bosco or De La Salle back to 2008. CAL-HI SPORTS STATE PUBLIC SCHOOLS FOOTBALL TEAMS...
