FB: Sac-Joaquin Section Top 25 (3)
It’s a second straight week of how to re-shuffle the section rankings after a massive upset, in this case Davis beating previous section No. 3 Elk Grove 16-14.

Since the great Joe Davidson of the Sac Bee doesn’t seem to be doing a CIF Sac-Joaquin Section rankings package this year for MaxPreps and we’re physically located within the confines of the SJS in Stockton, we thought this week, “Why not?” Anyone wishing to see writeups and breakdowns of the top teams in the […]

FB: What are preseason rankings?
Here is a version of a column written last week for the Stockton Record, which is a column that I do every week for that paper. This is not the edited version — which frankly was better and much tighter (thanks sports editor Bob Highfill) — but this version is easier to post on our […]
