The result from last week that caused the most changes to this week’s rankings was Mater Dei of Santa Ana getting past previous No. 3 Orange Lutheran in the Trinity League. The Monarchs also had a big win vs Santa Margarita and are one of six newcomers this week. The highest ranked newcomer, however, is...

State Basketball Players of the Week
It’s Christmas week, but there still was plenty of action last week all across the state and worthy candidates for these honors were not hard to find. We’re taking a break for New Year’s for this feature next week and then we’ll be back going week-to-week for the rest of the season. This week’s stops […]
NEW State TOP 50 FB Rankings (1-25)
It’s the last week of the 2024 season and we have CIF state championships this weekend between No. 1 and No. 4 in the Open Division, No. 7 and No. 9 in D1-AA, No. 15 and No. 20 in D1-A and No. 21 and No. 24 in D2-AA. The likelihood is that CIF Southern Section...
Tough Night For Being 10-0
We were not able to get out to a Friday night game this week, and with many of the state’s top-ranked teams on first round section playoff byes, our focus became the plight of teams that were 10-0 in the regular season that did play in the CIF Southern Section, CIF L.A. City Section and...

What We Saw: Clovis East-Clovis North
Based on its 38-21 victory on Friday at Lamonica Stadium over defending CIF Central Section D1 champion Clovis North, thoughts of Clovis East doing the same for 2024 — including going 13-0 through the section playoffs — were impossible not to arise. The Timberwolves displayed a very effective short passing spread offense that could not […]
NEW State TOP 50 FB Rankings (1-25)
Apologies for missing one week of these rankings last week, but we’re back from a trip to London and Paris and we’ll be going at full strength for the rest of the 2024 season. There was some shuffling among the top five teams since the last rankings mostly due to Servite of Anaheim getting a...
NEW State TOP 50 FB Rankings (1-25)
There is just a flip-flop of the No. 4 and No. 5 teams this week between JSerra and Orange Lutheran, but the Trinity League still has five of the top six spots. And we asked St. John Bosco’s Jason Negro last Saturday how good he thought the league looks this season. The biggest mover of...
