Preseason All-NCS Redwood Empire
This 12th and final one of these preseason all-area or all-section football teams covers the beautiful Redwood Empire portion of the CIF North Coast Section from Marin County all the way to the Oregon border. Yes, we know the season has begun, but only by a few days for these players. This time, it’s not...
Preseason All-CCS Football Team
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...
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...
Preseason FB (San Fernando-Ventura)
This is the final one of these preseason honors teams to get out from the CIF Southern Section and basically covers the northwest portion of it from just outside the San Fernando Valley, then out to Ventura & Santa Barbara counties. It is the seventh stop in our tour of the state with these preseason...
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...
Preseason All-State Football Teams
This is the 35th consecutive season that there has been a preseason all-state teams by Cal-Hi Sports. We honored the all-state juniors just a couple of months ago, but it’s not as easy as you might think because there were some all-state sophomores chosen as well and these teams are a combination of those plus […]
Preseason Central Section FB Team
This is the fifth stop in our tour of the state with these preseason all-area honor teams and for this one we head back north from San Diego to the great Central Valley for the CIF Central Section (which now includes much of the Central Coast). Three teams from the same league — Clovis, Buchanan...
Preseason San Diego Sec FB Team
Our next stop in our tour of the state with these preseason all-area honors is for the CIF San Diego Section. Preseason state No. 5 Cathedral Catholic has four players on first team, but is surpassed by Lincoln (which has five). There also is strong representation from St. Augustine, Torrey Pines and Mater Dei Catholic....
