Football: NCS Open Division On Board
The section’s league reps vote 44-3 to add four-team Open Division in football starting this fall. Of course, thoughts turn immediately to NCS super power De La Salle, which has won every NCS D1 title since 1991 and has won six CIF state titles in the highest classification in the last seven years.
NEW State Top 25 Football
Despite all of the section playoffs around the state concluding, the only new team to go into this week’s rankings is Oak Grove of San Jose. Helix and Bellarmine also moved up to No. 7 and No. 8 while La Habra and Ridgeview went up to No. 19 and No. 20, but still not in...
State Stat Stars of the Week
Getting close or already having 2,000 yards rushing seemed to pump up several running backs last week, including Mikey Dean from Chaffey of Ontario, Isaac Jones of Porterville, Najee Harris of Antioch and Donovan Switalski of East Nicolaus. We also tip the hat to a QB with 506 yards passing in his final game and […]
NEW S.F. Bay Area FB Ranks (Week 6)

NEW State Top 25 Football
It’s easy cheesy to bring back in Orange Lutheran as a newcomer this week and the Lancers also go back in at No. 21. This week’s other new slot went to Foothill of Pleasanton basically because the Falcons are higher in local rankings than league rival Monte Vista. Nearly 30 more teams are ranked on...
NEW State Top 25 Football
How high to put newcomer Orange Lutheran was the question of the week, which we did at No. 19. This week’s other newcomer is Oaks Christian. Narbonne didn’t drop far due to its loss to Long Beach Poly, but Serra did after its loss to Centennial. Del Oro also stayed in the rankings after a...
S.F. Bay Area FB Rankings (Week 1)
Yes, No. 1 De La Salle didn’t get it done deep in the heart of Texas, but until someone in these parts gets it done against them, Sparta still reigns supreme. We should get a better idea of what the local terrain is like when DLS invades San Mateo this Friday night to face No. […]
