Preseason All-State Football Teams
This is the 38th consecutive year of Cal-Hi Sports compiling a preseason all-state football team. We have first team, second team, and third team just missed. Note: There are no writeups for each player (like there will be for the official, end of season all-state first team) but all have writeups within this year’s various […]
Preseason CIFSS All-San Gabriel Valley
This is the final stop in our series of preseason all-section or all-area football teams in California for the 2024 season. It’s also the fifth one to complete the massive CIF Southern Section. In addition to the traditional San Gabriel Valley, this team also includes the Antelope Valley to the north plus private schools Loyola...
Preseason All-CCS Football Team
Our next to last stop in our series of preseason all-section or all-area football teams covers the CIF Central Coast Section. It’s been the home of the top NorCal team for 2021, 2022 & 2023 from Serra (San Mateo). The Padres lost a tremendous senior class, which is shown by more players on this team...
Preseason All-Northern Sec FB Team
For our this stop in our series of preseason all-section or all-area football teams from all corners of California, we go to the far north, which has been dealing with the massive Park Fire in recent weeks. There was an unbeaten CIF state champion from there last season in a lower division, but the top...

This team also includes players from Santa Barbara County plus the Santa Clarita Valley but not the Antelope Valley....
Preseason NCS Redwood Empire Team
We stay inside the CIF North Coast Section for our next stop in our series of preseason all-section or all-area football teams from around California, going from the East Bay portion of the section to the Redwood Empire. We do the Redwood Empire separately since it is the home of associate editor Harold Abend as...
Preseason NCS East Bay FB Team
Continuing to bounce around the state, our next stop in our series of preseason all-section or all-area football teams from around California is the East Bay portion of the CIF North Coast Section. This team also includes players from the very small CIF Oakland Section mixed in. Pittsburg and De La Salle both have the...
Preseason State TOP 50 Ranks (31-50)
A team with a QB committed to UCLA begins this group of ranked squads. Early big games such as Helix of La Mesa vs St. Francis of Mountain View and Newbury Park hosting Long Beach Millikan also were attractive enough to us to put both teams in these rankings. We do look at others doing […]
Preseason State TOP 50 FB Ranks (1-10)
It’s now up to nine straight seasons that either Mater Dei of Santa Ana or St. John Bosco of Bellflower has started out No. 1 in the state and for 2024 that means the Monarchs are in that position. They are the defending CIF Open Division state champions and they also have a lot more […]
