Preseason All-South Bay/Long Beach
This is the region of the CIF Southern Section dominated by national powerhouse St. John Bosco, but it also includes the South Bay where Serra of Gardena always has a lot of blue-chip recruits to get written up as well. The Braves almost have all skill positions on offense on this team except one running...
Preseason FB: Top 50 Teams (1-15)
First four are the same four it’s been to start (and just about finish) the last few seasons. It’s just the order that might get juggled during the season between Mater Dei of Santa Ana, St. John Bosco of Bellflower, De La Salle of Concord and Centennial of Corona. Our preseason No. 5, Narbonne of […]
Preseason FB: Top 50 Teams (16-30)
This group begins with perennial Orange County powerhouse Mission Viejo, which has a lot of playmakers to replace but has a lot of other positives in the second year under head coach Chad Johnson.

Others landing more than one player on this team include Serra of San Mateo, St. Francis...

Preseason Redwood Empire FB Team
It has been no secret that Marin Catholic (Kentfield), Cardinal Newman (Santa Rosa) and Rancho Cotate (Rohnert Park) have been the class of the Redwood Empire portion of the CIF North Coast Section for recent years. But even after a realignment that sees the NCS going to a seven division format plus an 8-man division,...
Preseason Inland Empire FB Team
Corona Centennial, as is usually the case, has some dominant players and will start out third or fourth in the state depending on which poll you believe. But the Huskies aren’t the only team that could be in top 15 or higher in the preseason state rankings. Rancho Cucamonga and Upland of the Baseline League...
