State Football Players of the Week
Besides uncovering hidden talent as one of the goals of this feature, we track entries for the Cal-Hi Sports Online Record Book, and this week we have a bit of an anomaly or a twist as we like to call it. We have plenty of hidden talent in our six State Football Players of the […]
NEW State TOP 50 FB Rankings (1-25)
Mission Viejo does indeed move to No. 2 in place of St. John Bosco after its big loss to No. 1 Mater Dei, although that isn’t going to match computer rankings that will be used for the CIF Southern Section D1 playoffs. De La Salle also joins top five for the first time this season,...
NEW State TOP 50 FB Ranks (26-50)
We have four newcomers this week, led by Leuzinger of Lawndale (which has been in there before). Two of the other three are from the city of La Verne — Damien and Bonita — while the fourth is Marin Catholic of Kentfield. The team Marin Catholic is hosting on Saturday, Cardinal Newman of Santa Rosa,...
Flag Special: OLu Wins In Playoffs
We don’t have the resources to cover girls flag football like we do the five main sports we cover for this web site, but we will do some feature stories and welcome any suggestions for how it can be done. On Saturday, our main girls basketball editor was in Orange County and offered to go […]
What We Saw: MD Romps Past Bosco
Paced by the most disruptive front seven on defense that perhaps no high school team has ever had and an offense that has been getting more dynamic every week since the start of the season, state and national No. 1 Mater Dei of Santa Ana turned its annual regular season showdown game against No. 2 […]
Medium/Small Schools State FB Ranks
Just like last week, the only new team in medium schools is playing a higher ranked team in its next game. Newbury Park still No. 1 for medium, which is the same for Bradshaw Christian in small. There are two newcomers this week in small schools: Arcata & Salesian of Los Angeles. Note: This is...
State Stat Stars & Record Updates
There’s much to get caught up on this week since we were out of the country for two weeks and couldn’t get this feature back up and going last week, either. We begin with league win streaks where an 81-gamer ended two weeks ago and another we had at 70 ended officially last week but...
State Football Players of the Week
Besides uncovering hidden talent as one of the goals of this feature, we track entries for the Cal-Hi Sports Online Record Book, and this week we have a record book entry and also have chosen a player who will very likely crack the record book in the future for career passing yards. Our visits this […]
NEW State TOP 50 FB Rankings (1-25)
We’ve arrived at that point of the season in which Mater Dei and St. John Bosco are playing in their Trinity League showdown. This time it’s MD at No. 1 and SJB at No. 2 in the state (and nation). Orange County teams are still in the 3-4-5 spots since No. 5 Servite’s losses are...
NEW State TOP 50 FB Ranks (26-50)
This week there are two newcomers and they are Edison of Huntington Beach and Villa Park. Biggest movers included San Juan Hills of SJ Capistrano (up four spots) and Grant of Sacramento (also up four spots). We also have Rocklin and St. Mary’s of Stockton almost ready to go into the top 25. TO SEE...
