Football Blasts From The Past
Here’s another look back in time to approximately the same week of the California high school football season from five, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35 and 40 years ago. At the end of what would have normally been the end of each of those seasons, we may go back even further. For this look […]
1981, ’94, ’08 Season Replays (Week 1)
This is how the season looked after the first week during our week-by-week replay for three of the most exciting, unpredictable football seasons we’ve covered in our 40-plus years: 1981, 1994 and 2008. No. 1 teams were still Cordova of Rancho Cordova, Bishop Amat of La Puente and De La Salle of Concord (although the...
State Super 65: No. 31 to No. 40
Leading off this group is our top choice from the CIF San Diego Section, Vista of 1974, but if you talk to a lot of longtime observers from that area you probably will get a different choice as to which should be No. 1. California’s first 15-0 team from Bishop Amat plus a Long Beach...
NEW Medium/Small School FB Ranks
Culver City takes over in No. 1 slot for medium schools in the state, but will have showdown game with Lawndale on Friday. Another huge matchup in Southern California sees No. 3 Pacifica of Oxnard go up against No. 9 Oxnard in what is known locally as the Battle for Gonzales Road. For the small...

Other schools with multiple players written up include Lincoln of San Diego and Mission Hills of San Marcos....

For the 39th straight year since the first Cal-Hi Sports All-State Team for boys hoops was selected by founder Nelson Tennis, it’s time to get started toward choosing all of this year’s team. The way we do it is to begin by posting a list of nominees from every CIF section in the state. We’ll […]
NEW Baseball State Top 20
Although Buchanan is down to one win left in order to wrap up a mythical state title, others are on the move, including De La Salle up to No. 3, Eastlake up to No. 6 and repeat section champions St. Francis (Mountain View) and El Camino Real to No. 8 and No. 9. Highest newcomer...
State Super 55: No. 21 to No. 30
The mighty 1927 state champs from Bakersfield and two teams from two years ago, De La Salle and Folsom, are featured in this group but now the Spartans and Bulldogs are a bit higher. De La Salle’s No. 1 team from last season also is now No. 28. Others include Pico Rivera El Rancho 1966...
