Stop No. 11 (with just one more to go) takes us to the San Jose area, Monterey Bay area and up the Peninsula to San Francisco. Serra of San Mateo leads the way with four first team selections and two on the second team followed by Valley Christian (San Jose) and Menlo-Atherton with three first...
State TOP 25 Weekend Scoreboard
As No. 1 Mater Dei was about to begin slaughtering perhaps the best team in Texas in a big national game, many of the top teams in Northern California were in scramble mode as the air quality numbers moved into unsafe levels. Many games were cancelled, others moved to later in the weekend and others […]
Preseason Northern Section FB Team
Our 10th stop in this statewide tour of leading players from top teams goes to the far north where the schools tend to be small and the rest of the state largely ignores. There are changes in the air with a new commissioner, schools competing in their final year in the section and a new...
Preseason All-East Bay (NCS & Oak)
Not surprisingly, De La Salle of Concord leads the way with four first team and four second team selections. They are not household names, but isn’t that the way it is every year for the Spartans? Pittsburg is close behind with Clayton Valley, Benicia and McClymonds next. Note: These preseason all-section or all-area teams are...
Preseason L.A. City Section FB Team
The Narbonne of Harbor City dynasty ended in 2019 right before COVID-19 hit L.A. County hard and negatively impacted the 2020 season for L.A. City section programs. Right now, it’s not about the section’s top teams cracking the weekly state rankings or a bunch of players earning college scholarships. It’s about safely getting back on...

NEW State TOP 50 FB Ranks (26-50)
There are four newcomers this week and all four had big wins — Upland, Liberty of Bakersfield, El Camino of Oceanside and Edison of Stockton. It also was a week with some major movers with a lot of teams still sitting at 0-0. That list is led by new No. 26 Orange Lutheran and new...
Preseason Inland Empire FB Team
The season is now underway in the CIF Southern Section, but we still have two more of these preseason honors teams to get out from the section and this is one of them. It is the sixth stop in our tour of the state with these preseason all-area honor teams and for the Inland Empire...
