State Stat Stars of the Week
This feature serves as our statewide collection of milestone achievements in California high school sports. More than lists and numbers, we can provide historical context since we’ve maintained state records in California for more than 40 years. Last week alone, we had three QBs come up with seven TD passes in one game. There also...
NorCal/SoCal Players of the Week
For this first week of honorees for the 2023 season — three from the north and three from the south — we have two for sure that have gained entry into the Cal-Hi Sports all-time state lists. There’s another one that would be one of the best but it will require some work to put […]
NEW State TOP 50 FB Rankings (1-25)
As St. John Bosco and Mater Dei head out for out-of-state contests this week, Centennial of Corona stays in the third spot after losing by just 28-14 to the Monarchs. The rest of the top 10 also is the same, but there are some teams getting big jumps, none more than new No. 22 Cathedral...
NEW State TOP 50 FB Ranks (26-50)

State TOP 25 Weekend Scoreboard
There were several season-opening matchups of teams that were in our preseason State TOP 50 rankings on Friday and the higher ranked team won in every game except one. This trend was led by Mater Dei’s victory over Corona Centennial. There also was Sierra Canyon over JSerra, Orange Lutheran over Serra (Gardena), Carlsbad over Inglewood, […]
Preseason San Gabriel Valley FB Team
This final stop from the CIF Southern Section and all of Southern California for this preseason includes Loyola of Los Angeles and the Cubs lead the way with four honorees. Bishop Amat of La Puente checks in with three. We also include the Antelope Valley to the north of the SGV and have honorees from...
Preseason Redwood Empire FB Team
Since it’s the home base for one correspondent and our associate editor, the Redwood Empire region of the CIF North Coast Section has always been a little special for us. That’s one reason why it has always been given a special breakdown for our annual tour of the state through preseason all-area or all-section football...
