Preseason All-Northern Sec FB Team
The Redding area of the north has been on a lot people’s minds in recent weeks due to the destructive and deadly Carr Fire. Shasta High, which played in the CIF D3-AA state championship last season, was used for many services and we assume many students lost their homes. Shasta still has a few players...
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...
SF-Oakland Sec FB Players To Watch
We weren’t completely, 100 percent done with our tour of the state with preseason all-section, all-area teams when we got done with the San Gabriel and San Fernando Valley teams last week before the first games of the 2017 season were played.

For CIF...
Preseason All-San Diego Sec FB Team
It’s been awhile since El Camino of Oceanside has been among the elite teams of the CIF San Diego Section, but this year could see the Wildcats in that class.

With a team that is the consensus preseason No. 1 team in the nation, you might expect that the outlook for the Orange County region of the CIF Southern Section might be dominated by Mater Dei of Santa Ana. Yep, that’s true. The Monarchs have a whopping 10 players among the 30 on this group....
Preseason All-Central Sec FB Team
