What We Saw: SD Lincoln at Grant
Two schools that one coach called “mirror images” of each other met in a matchup on Friday in Sacramento of highly ranked teams within the CIF San Diego Section & CIF Sac-Joaquin Section. The visitors from Lincoln High of San Diego flexed their muscles with a 49-16 win over Grant. Both teams are to be […]
NEW State TOP 50 FB Rankings (1-25)
We haven’t had a team jump from unranked into the top list, but there was no choice to do that this week for Leuzinger of Lawndale after its upset of previous No. 6 Santa Margarita. There also are two teams that moved up this week after losses — Sierra Canyon and Pittsburg — plus Los...
NEW State TOP 50 FB Ranks (26-50)
There are three newcomers this week, but both San Juan Hills and El Cerrito have been in there before. The other is Cardinal Newman of Santa Rosa, which is new for this season but has been in the top 50 many times in its history. We also have nice bumps for Mission Hills of San...
What We Saw: DLS vs St. Mary’s
Despite scoring on the opening kickoff, NorCal No. 1 and state No. 7 De La Salle needed to survive an incredible last touchdown by St. Mary’s of Stockton with an unsuccessful onside kick by the Rams to post a 38-35 victory. It was the first road game for the Spartans and it was a lack...
NEW State TOP 50 FB Rankings (1-25)
There is just a flip-flop of the No. 4 and No. 5 teams this week between JSerra and Orange Lutheran, but the Trinity League still has five of the top six spots. And we asked St. John Bosco’s Jason Negro last Saturday how good he thought the league looks this season. The biggest mover of...
What We Saw: Bosco vs Serra
The only player to score more than one touchdown for state No. 2 St. John Bosco of Bellflower on Saturday at Serra of San Mateo (No. 12) in a 56-16 victory was freshman Darren Tubbs in his breakout. The Braves won as expected against a team that played in the last three CIF Open Division...
What We Saw: Pitt vs Riordan
Two teams chasing a higher level and clearly knowing which teams they’re going to have to likely beat to win a CIF section title met on Friday in Pittsburg. Both the host Pirates and visiting Archbishop Riordan of San Francisco displayed plenty of firepower but need a lot of improvement to meet their goals. A […]
NEW State TOP 50 FB Rankings (1-25)
After No. 1 Mater Dei tops Bishop Gorman of Nevada in a national showdown, how will California No. 4 Orange Lutheran do when it plays at Bishop Gorman on Friday? The first 25 of these rankings also show a rise for Sierra Canyon despite its loss to No. 2 St. John Bosco, why we went...
NEW State TOP 50 FB Ranks (26-50)
We have five newcomers in this week’s rankings and we hope we don’t jinx the highest ranked of those teams, La Costa Canyon of Carlsbad, like we did with the highest newcomer from last week. Also new are Los Gatos, Clovis, El Cerrito and Vista Murrieta of Murrieta. There’s also big rises for Newbury Park,...
