Our Take: Woliczko chooses Iowa
In case you missed the news from early last week, Archbishop Mitty of San Jose 6-foot-2 senior wing McKenna Woliczko has committed to the University of Iowa. The big-time national recruit coming off of an ACL knee injury from last January that caused her to miss the rest of the season. While our report isn’t […]
Preseason All-CIF Northern Section
We have now completed another tour of the state to start a high school football season in California and end with the far north section of the CIF. Several teams have already played season openers and there was a big one that indicates defending D2 champion Pleasant Valley of Chico is going to be elite...
Preseason Ventura/San Fernando Valley
Our next to last stop on our tour of the state through preseason individual honor teams is for the San Fernando Valley/Ventura County area with a couple of players from Santa Barbara County included. This also wraps all five regions that we break it up for in the massive CIF Southern Section. Sierra Canyon continues...
Preseason Redwood Empire FB Team
Since the CIF North Coast Section (both East Bay & Redwood Empire portions) still haven’t played any games yet as this feature was being finalized, the preseason label still fits. We begin with an intro to the new head coach at Cardinal Newman of Santa Rosa and then it’s a lineup of players led by...
Preseason San Gabriel Valley FB Team
We were not able to get three of our preseason all-area/all-section football teams completed in time before the start of the season in those places. One of them was this one within the CIF Southern Section. And in the first game, the top running back from the San Gabriel Valley had to go to the...
Preseason All-NCS East Bay FB Team
Concord De La Salle starts the season after stretching its streak of consecutive CIF section titles to 33 years, but there have been some close calls the past two seasons. The Spartans have 15 returning starters this year with many of them honored on this team. Pittsburg had a super group of seniors move on,...
Preseason All-State Football Teams
This is the 42nd consecutive year of Cal-Hi Sports compiling a preseason all-state football team. We have first team, second team, and third team. Most of the players already have been written up within our annual tour of the state through preseason teams from CIF sections plus more than one from the Southern Section. Note: […]
Preseason L.A. City Section FB Team
After the CCS up north, we go to greater Los Angeles County in our series of preseason all-section or all-area teams around the state with a look at the CIF L.A. City Section. There is great change in the proud section after Marine League power Narbonne of Harbor City was stripped of its 2024 section...
Preseason All-CCS Football Team
It’s a parade of Archbishop Riordan players on this squad (especially on offense), but St. Francis of Mountain View has the most on defense. Valley Christian linemen and three from Sacred Heart Cathedral also have cracked the lineup. The CCS is dominated by the West Catholic Athletic League, but some other players from schools like...
Preseason Long Beach/South Bay Team
A little more than a third of the players from this region of the state in this feature are from preseason state No. 2 St. John Bosco. Serra of Gardena also has multiple players written up as well as Palos Verdes, Downey and Leuzinger of Lawndale. Note: These preseason all-section or all-area teams are done...
