NEW State TOP 50 FB Rankings (1-25)
It’s not often there is a school that is placed at No. 1 in the state in football for the first time in its history but that has happened this week for Sierra Canyon of Chatsworth.

It’s another CIF Open Division state title for Mater Dei, but this time the NorCal representative, De La Salle of Concord, put up a fight in the third quarter to make it interesting…at least for a few minutes. Monarchs gain their fifth CIF state title since 2017. Edison of Huntington Beach and Palos Verdes of […]
What We Saw: DLS vs St. Mary’s
Despite scoring on the opening kickoff, NorCal No. 1 and state No. 7 De La Salle needed to survive an incredible last touchdown by St. Mary’s of Stockton with an unsuccessful onside kick by the Rams to post a 38-35 victory. It was the first road game for the Spartans and it was a lack...
