NorCal/SoCal Players of the Week
For the first time we believe in the four years we’ve been doing NorCal/SoCal Players of the Week we have two of them who are brothers. This because it was possible this week for us to honor Caine Savage from Western of Anaheim for SoCal offense and his twin brother, Cassius, for SoCal special teams. […]
SoCal/NorCal Players of the Week
It appears the last two players to return three interceptions for a score in one game both were named SoCal Defensive Player of the Week so we’ll do the same for Mater Dei’s Elias Ricks. That category also has been updated in our online state record book. This week’s honorees are from Temecula, Arcadia, Bakersfield, […]
NorCal/SoCal Players of the Week
It may be from an 8-person contest, but what running back Yaiden Ochoa and his teammates from Hillcrest Christian of Thousand Oaks did to honor the 12 victims of last week’s awful Borderline Bar shooting in their hometown was too much not to give a huge tip of the hat. It’s not often someone rushes […]
SoCal/NorCal Players of the Week
Even though these weekly honors are specific for offense, defense and special teams, it’s often hard not to consider what players have done in all facets of the game. You can say at least four of our six this week fall into that category. We also have a QB who was part of the highest […]
NorCal/SoCal Players of the Week
Three of the players being honored this week are from teams that just completed the regular season with undefeated records. We also have one who did a great deal to prevent another team from doing the same. It’s a group representing Sacramento, Eureka, Clovis, Simi Valley, Westlake Village and Sherman Oaks.
SoCal/NorCal Players of the Week
Coming off of a three-week absence due to injury may not have ever been done better than what Sean McDonald of Ramona High did last Friday. Plus, we’re honoring one of three CIF Central Section QBs who should surpass 10,000 career yards on the same night this week. This week’s group in all also comes […]
NorCal/SoCal Players of the Week
It just worked out this week that three of our six honorees are from State Top 50 teams Folsom, Eastlake of Chula Vista and St. Francis of Mountain View. Seven also was a magic number for Sacramento’s Javon Felton (he scored seven times) and North Hollywood Campbell Hall’s Johnny Hawkins (threw seven TD passes). Multi-talented […]
SoCal/NorCal Players of the Week
Kicking off and letting either one of our two special teams honorees this week touch the ball might be a big mistake. And both Kris Hutson of St. John Bosco (Bellflower) and Sione Vaki from Liberty (Brentwood) are elite players in many other ways when they are on the field. In addition to those two, […]
NorCal/SoCal Players of the Week
One of the most inspirational NorCal/SoCal Players of the Week we’ve ever written up is this week’s NorCal choice for defense and to see why Santa Rosa Cardinal Newman’s Dino Kahaulelio inspires his teammates you’ll have to read on. We also have perhaps the first-ever player in the state who’s ever thrown for eight TDs […]
