This week’s newcomers are Bishop Diego of Santa Barbara, Liberty of Bakersfield, St. Francis of La Canada and Granite Bay....
State TOP 25 Weekend Scoreboard
Biggest winners added from Saturday: Cathedral Catholic, Serra (San Mateo) & Folsom. On Friday, in what could be the greatest CIF section semifinals in California history and the first we know of in which all four were the top four ranked teams in the state, No. 1 Mater Dei tops No. 4 Centennial of Corona […]
NEW Medium/Small School Ranks
Some may not want to see this, but the last two wins by Inglewood over St. Bonaventure and Edison of Huntington Beach puts the Sentinels in the No. 1 spot in updated medium school state football rankings. For the small schools, the new No. 1 team also is still playing as unbeaten Menlo School will...
State Stat Stars of the Week
This feature serves as our statewide collection of milestone achievements in California high school football and is now in its 11th week as part of the 2021-22 school year.

NEW NorCal/SoCal Bowl Projections
The first teams earning berths will be coming this week from the CIF North Coast Section & CIF San Diego Section Open Divisions.

NEW State TOP 50 FB Rankings (1-25)
The Final Four for the state (and really the nation) is about to get underway in the CIF Southern Section D1 semifinals. The gap between those four and the rest of the state is likely as massive as it gets. That’s one reason why Mission Viejo is still No. 5 this week. Carlsbad also joins...

This week’s newcomers, meanwhile, are Menlo-Atherton, Helix of La Mesa, Apple Valley, McClymonds of Oakland and Monterey Trail of Elk Grove. Go inside for breakdowns...
State TOP 25 Weekend Scoreboard
The final four for next week’s CIF Southern Section D1 playoffs was set up nicely as No. 1 Mater Dei, No. 2 St. John Bosco, No. 3 Servite and No. 4 Corona Centennial all had big wins on Friday. There were a couple of near-upsets, but nothing among the top group of squads. Saturday results […]
NEW NorCal/SoCal Bowl Projections
All teams on these bowl boards are now in section playoffs after the regular season ended last week in the CIF North Coast, Central Coast and Northern Sections. The projected top seeds from the CCS didn’t happen after St. Francis at the top, so some of those bowl picks have changed in the north. Four...
