SoCal/NorCal Players of the Week
Since we are always looking for performances that could qualify for the Cal-Hi Sports Record Book, or for players that don’t always get a lot of props, the fact all three honorees from Southern California are from unbeaten teams, and two of three from Northern California are from unbeatens, is a bit of an anomaly. […]
NEW State Top 50 FB Ranks (26-50)
Results from the CIF Central Coast Section help Wilcox of Santa Clara to a brand-new state ranking, but we’ll see if the Chargers can do what league rival Milpitas did last season. This week’s other newcomers are Eastlake of Chula Vista, Moorpark, Palma of Salinas, Cardinal Newman of Santa Rosa and Cathedral of Los Angeles....

Both teams still have to win Central Section titles, however, and Sanger will have to battle a surging team from Ridgeview of Bakersfield. We also forecast where...
CIF NorCal Bowl Board No. 6
The fun part of these boards that it’s possible to run them in different combinations to see how they shape up. This week, we went back to using Bellarmine of San Jose as one of the projected three CCS Open Division champions. Next week, maybe we’ll put Sanger in the south and Bakersfield Christian in...
CIF NorCal Bowl Board No. 5
You can now lock it in stone that whichever team wins the first CIF North Coast Section Open Division title will be the NorCal team in the Open Division state final. The other major development on this week’s NorCal board is the possibility that a play-in game will be set up in a different division...
