The 41st annual Cal-Hi Sports All-State Football Teams start off with a look at the best of the best among sophomores. State Team of the Year St. John Bosco had some good ones and landed three on first team, but we also are high on some from more smaller places, including two on second team...

Mr. Football 2019: D.J. Uiagalelei
In this fourth straight year of domination by the St. John Bosco and Mater Dei football programs in the CIF Open Division (and the entire state), it’s almost had to be the leading player off of the team that wins at the end who has been selected as the Mr. Football State Player of the […]
All-Decade All-State Football: Teams
We have a first team and a second team comprised of California’s best players since 2010 season, based mostly on high school accomplishment but without ignoring what they might have done later on. Three from the 2019 season are on first team, one is on second. We also have the best current receiver in the...
Double Coaching Honors For Negro
St. John Bosco’s Jason Negro is not just the 2019 State Football Coach of the Year. He is also at the same time leading off our end-of-the-decade parade of honors by being named the State Coach of the Decade. The Braves just won their third CIF Open Division state title since Negro took over their […]
Mr. Football State POY Finalists
Annual honor that goes back for more than 100 years usually has a finalist group of five, six or even seven players. This year, though, it’s a much different dynamic with two of the nation’s top players (both quarterbacks) both in California and both clearly out in front for all postseason accolades. We only realistically […]
NEW State Top 50 FB Rankings (1-25)
There’s a new No. 1 of course with St. John Bosco taking over for Mater Dei after last Saturday’s pulsating win over the Monarchs in the CIF Southern Section Division I championship. Others on the rise include Serra of San Mateo and Oak Ridge of El Dorado Hills, but we’re not going to go along...
NEW State Top 50 FB Rankings (1-25)
It’s time for the top two of the state (and nation) to meet again but a CIF Southern Section D1 title and trip to the CIF Open Division state final are up for grabs for the winner. The big rankings move is placing CIF San Diego Section Open Division champion Helix of La Mesa fifth....
NEW State Top 50 FB Rankings (1-25)
With all of the teams that didn’t play last week, there are no new ones that have moved up this week into this group from below. But with previous No. 10 Serra of San Mateo falling from the unbeaten ranks, there is at least some movement. We didn’t drop the Padres out of the top...
NEW State Top 50 FB Rankings (1-25)
The major movers of the week include Bishop Amat of La Puente (from No. 35 to 15) and Servite of Anaheim (up six spots despite losing its game). We also have smaller bumps for Central of Fresno and Cathedral Catholic of San Diego. The top 10 from last week, though, all rolled so no changes...
NEW State Top 50 FB Ranks (1-25)
The top three remain the same, but two more Orange County teams join No. 1 Mater Dei in the top five. Helix of La Mesa logically forces its way up into this first group after knocking off previous No. 5 Cathedral Catholic, but we did not push the Highlanders ahead of another San Diego team...
