Preseason State 50 Football Ranks (2)
Jesuit of Carmichael and Liberty of Brentwood could have all-time best teams this season and highlight this group of squads that have been ranked from No. 16 to No. 34 in the state in the preseason. We also have our preseason No. 1 teams from the CIF San Diego Section and CIF Central Coast Section […]
Preseason Orange County FB Team
Mater Dei hasn’t always been this dominant, but now in the “transfer era” the football program has taken off and is clearly among the best in the nation, rivaling only St. John Bosco in California, and with no end in sight. The Monarchs start out 2018 with 11 players on this preseason 30-man All-Orange County...
Preseason L.A. City Section FB Team
Once again Narbonne of Harbor City is the overwhelming preseason favorite to win the second L.A. City Section Open Division title. Narbonne also is gunning for its fifth consecutive major division title and that is reflected in the amount of preseason all-section choices the Gauchos have. There are a whopping eight of them, while Open Division...
Preseason Central Section FB Team

Preseason CCS Football Team
Not surprisingly, a large number of players on both the first and second teams are from the three teams that all won CIF state bowl game titles last season plus additional standouts from the West Catholic Athletic League. Still, there were some fresh new faces last season and a couple of them are not from...
Preseason San Diego Sec FB Team
There were so many outstanding returning running backs that for this season we had to place four of them on offense with just one wide receiver, although there are those on defense and multi-purpose who can catch the ball as well. Schools with more than one player written up are Helix of La Mesa, Eastlake...
Preseason Sac-Joaquin Sec FB Team
This will be the sixth straight year that we are going to tour the state starting from now until the start of the 2018 football season by releasing preseason all-section, all-area and all-county football teams from eight of the 10 CIF sections (with San Francisco and Oakland included with other sections). We’re also once again...
