State Football Players of the Week
As the section playoffs narrow the funnel of those that can be selected, there are still some rather incredible performances from last weekend that deserve major props.

NEW State TOP 50 FB Rankings (1-25)
Biggest changes this week are as a result of Inglewood losing by a large margin to Santa Margarita in the CIF Southern Section D1 playoffs and St. Francis of Mountain View falling in its regular season final.
