SoCal/NorCal Players of the Week
This COVID-abbreviated football season still has a few games left and a couple of places in the state, but this will be our final Players of the Week feature. Our final journey takes us to the southern part of the Inland Empire, the south Orange County city of San Clemente, and Pasadena in the south. […]
Mater Dei State Football Team of Year
The strange, spring season concluded for the Monarchs with a win over St. John Bosco last Saturday as those two schools have now shared top honors in the state for five straight seasons. It’s Mater Dei, though, now on top for three of the last four. The Monarchs will likely continue their dominance for years […]
More State FB Teams of the Year
With no CIF section or state playoff games for this spring season, we reverted back to our longstanding tradition of ranking teams in five separate divisions and have chosen a No. 1 team for each one (even though those final rankings are still not done yet) plus we also have our latest Public School State […]
State FB TOP 25 Weekend Scoreboard
No. 2 Mater Dei gets four TD passes from its freshman QB in 34-17 win over No. 1 St. John Bosco on Saturday night.

State Stat Stars of the Week

We’re still deciding how to do boys and girls basketball, but will be adding those into the honor roll mix next week for at least one week until football is done. Football’s best includes two QBs from nearby schools both throwing...

With just one week to go for many teams, No. 1 teams are St. John Bosco of Bellflower (D1), Rocklin (D2), Cardinal Newman of Santa Rosa (D3), Sacred Heart Prep of Atherton (D4) and Tri-City Christian of Vista (D5). Rocklin is new at the top of its division despite not playing. Note that final rankings...
NorCal/SoCal Players of the Week
Week five would be less than halfway through a normal football season, but this season is anything but normal, so instead we’re in the home stretch with just one more week to go for this feature. This week we travel to Orange County, San Diego and the Inland Empire for our SoCal honorees, and Shafter, […]
NEW State FB TOP 50 FB Ranks (26-50)
Major movers are led by Vista Murrieta, which is now up 17 spots after its win last week over Murrieta Valley. Can Lincoln of Stockton do the same this week when it plays local rival St. Mary’s? Also coming up this week are Damien of La Verne (up six), Rancho Verde of Moreno Valley (up...
State FB TOP 25 Weekend Scoreboard
With just two weeks to go for the vast majority of teams in the state for this very different spring season, we’ll treat Friday and Saturday nights like we do for the fall with the compilation of a weekend scoreboard involving the state’s top-ranked teams. Two expected showdowns on Friday fizzled for different reasons, then […]
