We’re getting started with this two-day extravaganza of preseason state rankings with writeups of those slotted in the No. 31 position down to No. 50. There are more than 1,100 high schools that have football in California so any team in this honor roll is special. Additional teams on the bubble will be added once […]

Boys BB Open/Regional Projections
We pick which eight teams in both Southern California and Northern California to us seem headed toward this year’s Open Division. We then go through each division both north and south to see if it’s possible to point toward certain teams as leading state title contenders. The group includes one team that is unbeaten at […]
State Stat Stars of the Week
Two of this week’s leading performances on the boys side came in the same game for opposite teams as Jordan Roberts of Bakersfield Ridgeview poured in 46 points and so did West of Bakersfield’s Austyn Contreras. For the girls, it’s more big totals for San Diego’s twosome of Destiny Littleton and Shyla LaTone plus Menlo’s […]
SoCal/NorCal Players of the Week
One of this week’s NorCal honorees, Manteca High’s Loretta Kakala, received some huge news on Sunday night when she was named to the 2017 McDonald’s All-American Game. Our other weekly honors go out to players from Calabasas, San Gabriel and Bakersfield. We hope you enjoy this free story on Cal-Hi Sports.com. For our State Top […]
FB: Sac-Joaquin Section Top 25 (13)
St. Mary’s being higher-ranked than Folsom proved to be correct as the Rams rolled over the Bulldogs 56-25 to win SJS Division I title. The bigger question for the section rankings, however, is what to do about Del Oro as it looks to win a second straight CIF state title. Should the Golden Eagles continue […]
CIF NorCal Bowl Board No. 8
Big move of the week is switching Sanger and Selma from the north to the south and vice-versa and we really liked how it balanced out both boards. Both teams still have to win Central Section titles, however, and Sanger will have to battle a surging team from Ridgeview of Bakersfield. We also forecast where...
FB: Sac-Joaquin Section Top 25 (12)
Inderkum proves that the preseason rankings were right all along after big win over previously unbeaten Antelope in D2 semifinals. Defending D2AA state champ Del Oro is next. In the D1 bracket, meanwhile, top two seeds St. Mary’s and Folsom both roll in the semifinals to set up what should be great matchup in section […]
FB: Sac-Joaquin Section Top 25 (11)
This is a week when teams that have been held back in the rankings for having a key head-to-head loss can come roaring in, especially if they’re still going in the semifinal round of the playoffs. Inderkum’s win over Sacramento and Capital Christian’s win over Sonora were the biggest shockers, but Merced’s win over Del […]
CIF NorCal Bowl Board No. 6
The fun part of these boards that it’s possible to run them in different combinations to see how they shape up. This week, we went back to using Bellarmine of San Jose as one of the projected three CCS Open Division champions. Next week, maybe we’ll put Sanger in the south and Bakersfield Christian in...
