To the surprise of no one, Narbonne of Harbor City is the overwhelming preseason favorite to win the L.A. City Section Open Division title for the third season in a row. Narbonne also is gunning for its sixth consecutive major division title to match the legendary Wilmington Banning program from 1976-81 for section dominance. The Gauchos have 11 preseason all-section choices (three more than last season), but will off-the-field troubles derail the section dynasty?
Note: These preseason all-section teams will be done in the same 30-player format as the annual Cal-Hi Sports All-State Football Teams. They are based on a combination of what the players did last season and college recruiting. Not every all-section team will have writeups of every player. Some will have an intro, then lists.
