Public School No. 1 Decided?
Friday night’s matchup in the CIF Southern Section D1 quarterfinals between No. 4 seed Mission Viejo and No. 5 Corona Centennial was called a Public School Super Bowl by many in the Southern California media. But did Centennial’s 25-20 triumph over the Diablos wrap up another State Public School of the Year selection for the […]

Tough Night For Being 10-0
We were not able to get out to a Friday night game this week, and with many of the state’s top-ranked teams on first round section playoff byes, our focus became the plight of teams that were 10-0 in the regular season that did play in the CIF Southern Section, CIF L.A. City Section and...
What We Saw: Clovis East-Clovis North
Based on its 38-21 victory on Friday at Lamonica Stadium over defending CIF Central Section D1 champion Clovis North, thoughts of Clovis East doing the same for 2024 — including going 13-0 through the section playoffs — were impossible not to arise. The Timberwolves displayed a very effective short passing spread offense that could not […]

What We Saw: MD Romps Past Bosco

What We Think: State Roundup 10/18
No. 1 Mater Dei and No. 2 St. John Bosco set up their annual regular season showdown with wins on Friday night in the Trinity League. Big NorCal winners on the night included state No. 6 De La Salle, No. 22 St. Francis of Mountain View and unranked but soon to be on the bubble […]

Go inside for our unique experience of covering this game and how the […]
What We Saw: SD Lincoln at Grant
Two schools that one coach called “mirror images” of each other met in a matchup on Friday in Sacramento of highly ranked teams within the CIF San Diego Section & CIF Sac-Joaquin Section. The visitors from Lincoln High of San Diego flexed their muscles with a 49-16 win over Grant. Both teams are to be […]
What We Saw: DLS vs St. Mary’s
Despite scoring on the opening kickoff, NorCal No. 1 and state No. 7 De La Salle needed to survive an incredible last touchdown by St. Mary’s of Stockton with an unsuccessful onside kick by the Rams to post a 38-35 victory. It was the first road game for the Spartans and it was a lack...
