Preseason All-East Bay Football Team
After our Preseason State TOP 50 team rankings and all athletes of the year for 2022-23 are done, we’re back to this annual tour of the state through preseason all-area or all-section football teams. This one also includes the CIF Oakland Section to go with all of the schools in the East Bay region of...
All State Records Ready For ’23 Season
All of the categories we have for our exclusive state football records are updated and ready to go before the start of the 2023 season. For this post, we go over some of the elite wide receivers added to all-time lists (more than one still playing but at new schools). We didn’t have a longest […]
