State TOP 25 Weekend Scoreboard
In weeks in which we are not able to get out to a game, we will be offering a roundup of scores, highlights and previews of which teams are going to be making the biggest rankings moves for the coming week. Saturday winners now updated. For Friday Sept. 5, the SoCal/NorCal showdown between Mission Viejo […]
NEW State TOP 50 FB Rankings (1-25)
For the second straight week, we have a new team going into the top five, which this time is Sierra Canyon of Chatsworth. The Trailblazers follow Mater Dei and St. John Bosco and then two teams playing each other on Friday — Mission Viejo and Folsom. There were other teams with bigger jumps than Sierra...
NEW State TOP 50 FB Rankings (26-50)
A group of five newcomers this week is led by new No. 43 Beaumont after it posted big win vs Cathedral of Los Angeles. The other four are Oak Hills, Carlsbad, San Clemente and Chino Hills. This group also includes some others that already were ranked that got nice bumps. Valencia, Manteca and Crean Lutheran...
What We Saw: Folsom vs Serra SM
While giving up 42 points may not be a good sign for what the state No. 5 Folsom football team wants to accomplish this season, the 56-42 victory on a hot Saturday at Serra of San Mateo cleared a huge hurdle since the Padres had beaten the Bulldogs the past three straight seasons. Ryder Lyons […]
What We Saw: CCSD vs St. Francis MV
Actually seeing teams play from as much of the state as possible has been a goal of ours at Cal-Hi Sports since the early years in the 1980s. That’s partly why it made sense to check out one of the top two teams from the CIF San Diego Section when it played on Friday up […]
NEW State TOP 50 FB Rankings (1-25)
Folsom joins top five and will look to stay there for matchup against probable No. 4 Mission Viejo in two weeks. Mater Dei, St. John Bosco and Corona Centennial are still 1-2-3. We also have Orange Lutheran getting a jump from No. 9 to No. 7 after its win over a top Florida school. More...
NEW State TOP 50 FB Rankings (26-50)
Chaminade of West Hills goes from unranked to No. 27 after knocking off Oaks Christian while previous bubble team Millikan of Long Beach moves to No. 38 after upending 2024 CIFSS D2 champion Newbury Park. Valencia also is a newcomer this week and is going to face Chaminade in the second game for both. More...
What We Saw: Mission V vs Santa Marg
With the offensive players on both teams, Mission Viejo’s 7-3 win on Friday over Santa Margarita in a matchup between two state top five ranked teams was not expected. It also spoiled the debut of first-year head coach Carson Palmer for the Eagles, who has brought an NFL-style approach to the former NFL quarterback’s alma […]
Preseason State TOP 50 FB Ranks (1-25)
The questions about teams beyond the top two spots of Mater Dei and St. John Bosco will begin to get answered very quickly with big games coming up next week between No. 4 Mission Viejo and No. 5 Santa Margarita plus No. 6 Folsom hosting No. 13 Grant (Sacramento). There are other obvious top teams […]
Preseason State TOP 50 Ranks (26-50)
Last-second transfers can move up a team in these rankings, which helped Clovis in the Central Section move up a few spots from where we were going to place it. This group is led off by Oak Ridge of El Dorado Hills, and the Trojans are playing No. 32 Frontier of Bakersfield in their first […]
