Marin Catholic of Kentfield is the only new team ranked this week for either medium or small and jumps up high in preparation for its showdown game on Saturday against Cardinal Newman of Santa Rosa. Los Gatos, Soquel and Tustin are other medium schools ranked teams that have big games this week. Bishop’s of La...
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,...

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...
