With NorCal ending the regular season while most of SoCal was in the first week of section playoffs, we have stops this week in Elk Grove, Fairfield, Encino and San Diego. One of our tips of the hat is for a 50-point game while another was for a huge outing against a team led by […]
NEW State Top 50 FB Ranks (26-50)
The CIF could have gone in several directions for the NorCal 2-A, 3-AA and 3-A bowl games since those teams are bunched together fairly closely no matter how you slice it. For our State Top 50 this week, we went along with those placements for the most part and have put unbeaten San Joaquin Memorial...
NEW State Top 50 FB Ranks (1-25)
We are releasing this week’s State Top 50 without knowing whether the CIF is going to push this year’s CIF state championships back one week due to the very unhealthy air quality in the S.F. Bay Area that has caused playoffs in the CIF North Coast and Central Coast Sections to be delayed for at...

We’re also once again...
Football coaches who love goal-setting
This year’s Cal-Hi Sports questionnaires that were sent to almost all of the state’s top football coaches were presented by our partners from My-GoalMine.com. One of the questions was about the importance of goal-setting toward a team’s success. Note: Coaches and others should check out the My-GoalMine.com goal-setting app for smart phones.

All-State Football: Academic Teams
And you thought we were done with football. For the first time, we are glad to provide accolades to those elite players across the state who shined in the classroom as well as on the field. Our two running backs were both well over 4.0 for GPAs and well over 2,000 yards rushing.
