My folks came to visit me last year and they were coming up the weekend of the Texas/Michigan game and they said the plane was divided evenly and both fanbases tried to get their chants going. The crew on the plane was pro Blue lol

I had never seen so many Texas fans in my life until I got to the airport that day. Good times.

Texas fans travel very well. My usual lot was damn near taken over by burnt orange 2 years ago. By far the most away fans I have ever seen in Tuscaloosa. I didn't make it to downtown that day but some of my seat buddies said it was insane over there, orange everywhere.

Did Sac State leave the Big Sky only to play in the All Bears Conference this year, what the heck

 

[Pittie Petey]

Come on, Oakland!

 

[PRIDEWASBETTER]

Rising costs? Tickets were only like $15 and you could sit anywhere in the lower bowl of Ford Field. You can raise the prices to $50 and I'd be fine with it.

Long detailed breakdown of all the best high school teams in the Bay Area

Pittsburg is reloaded and looking ready for another title run

@My Spot De La Salle, lead by Maurice Jones-Drew's kid, is opening against your beloved Lakeland, Florida


Part 1

Is De La Salle still #1?


There isn’t much doubt who the Bay Area’s top team is entering the season.


After giving national powerhouse Mater Dei-Santa Ana a temporary scare in the Open Division state championship last year, De La Salle returns a plethora of talent from that team.


Speedster Jaden Jefferson – a North Carolina commit and state record holder in the 100-meter dash – will be the featured playmaker in De La Salle’s offense as a wide receiver and running back. Cal-bound offensive and defensive lineman Nemyah Telona will anchor the trenches while running back Duece Jones-Drew, son of former NFL All-Pro Maurice Jones-Drew, will enter the year as De La Salle’s primary ballcarrier.

Justin Alumbaugh, who is entering his 13th year as De La Salle’s coach, said this is his fastest team he’s ever had.


As usual, De La Salle stacked its schedule as the Concord heavyweight will open against Florida powerhouse Lakeland before three straight road games against Serra, St. Francis and Grant-Sacramento.


It has been 33 years since De La Salle lost to a team from its own section. That NCS streak nearly came to an end in 2023 against San Ramon Valley and last year against Pittsburg, but don’t count on it being broken this year.


The Spartans’ winning tradition mixed with Division I talent at every key position makes De La Salle the team to beat in Northern California.


Other teams might disagree.


But until proven otherwise, the Spartans should be the favorite to represent NorCal in the Open Division state championship game again this year.

Riordan primed to finish job​

For Archbishop Riordan, everything has been building toward 2025.


The Crusaders have a senior SEC-bound quarterback, a Big Ten-bound offensive lineman and college talent all over the field. Now it’s time for them to win the West Catholic Athletic League.


There is no reason why Riordan shouldn’t be the overwhelming favorite in the WCAL and Central Coast Section. Last season’s WCAL co-champions, St. Ignatius and St. Francis, both graduated their starting quarterback and running back.


Riordan, meanwhile, returns four-year starting QB Michael Mitchell Jr., running back Adonyae Brown and receivers Cynai Thomas, Judge Nash and Wesley Winn Jr. And for good measure, the Crusaders added senior transfer Perrion Williams, St. Francis’ top pass catcher in 2024.


The San Francisco school is tough in the trenches, too. Riordan brings back Oregon commit Tommy Tofi to anchor its offensive and defensive lines.


Everything is lining up for Riordan to romp to a WCAL title and win the CCS Open Division championship. One WCAL coach called them “ridiculously stacked this year.”


But can the Crusaders be the best team in the Bay Area, or even win a NorCal or state title? Those are the questions the San Francisco school will have to answer this fall.

El Cerrito has a tough road back​

The 2024 El Cerrito season was marred in controversy.


The East Bay school was expected to be one of the Bay Area’s top programs as a plethora of Division I college talent filled its roster.


But after an NCS investigation found that El Cerrito used several ineligible players in the first half of its season, the Gauchos were forced to forfeit six games, sit numerous top players for the rest of the year and finished the season with a 1-8 record. The section’s ruling and the decision from the school’s administration to place then-coach Jacob Rincon on administrative leave led to protests from students and community members.


Now, El Cerrito is trying to turn the page.


New coach Tim Johnson, who was the associate head coach last season, will try to inspire a program that will not be eligible for the postseason for the next two years.


A number of key contributors from last season have transferred out of the program, including three-star safety Savion Bandy (Grant Union-Sacramento), Malikii Lavern (Grant Union) and Jamar Lincoln (Marin Catholic).


Despite the losses, the Gauchos still have enough playmakers to be competitive.


Wide receiver Gary Youngblood, who led El Cerrito in receiving yards, receiving touchdowns and interceptions, returns for his senior season. Running back Joezon Broussard will look to make an impact at running back as a second-year starter.


El Cerrito will open the season against East Bay powerhouse San Ramon Valley, but the schedule will get a lot easier with games against Lowell-San Francisco and Oakland Tech before league play.


The Gauchos won’t be the powerhouse they once were, but a successful season could go a long way into restabilizing the program.

SI encore will include new coach​

St. Ignatius came out of nowhere to win the CCS Open Division championship in 2024.


The Wildcats were picked to finish fifth of eight teams in the WCAL by the Bay Area News Group. The Cats had other plans.


The senior duo of QB Soren Hummel and RB Jarious Hogan, plus key contributors like WR/CB Zui Shelton, linemen John Mills and Manoah Faupusa and WR/DB Ty Hicks, led SI to an 8-2 regular-season record that included comeback wins over WCAL powers Serra, Riordan and Valley Christian. The team that became known as second-half SI made history, reaching a CIF NorCal regional under second-year coach Lenny Vandermade.


The Cats won’t be sneaking up on anybody this time around.


They’ll also be working under new coach JaJaun Lawson, who took over this winter after Vandermade went home to Southern California, joining former USC teammate Carson Palmer at Santa Margarita High.


Can Lawson, who was Vandermade’s offensive coordinator, recapture the magic of last season? He faces long odds to do so.


But if SI showed us anything in 2024, the Cats proved that you can never quite foresee what’s to come in the fall.

Will Pittsburg take a step back?​

Last season, Pittsburg put arguably its best group on the field since the 1991 team that upset De La Salle in the NCS 3A final.


But given that much of the Division I talent from last year’s roster has graduated, the Pirates will go into this season with a group that does not have a ton of varsity experience.


So … will this be a rebuilding year for Pittsburg?


Probably not.


Despite graduating quarterback and Bay Area News Group player of the year Marley Alcantara and UCLA-bound defensive stars Juju Walls and Jadyn Hudson, the Pirates still have a treasure chest of Division I players on both sides of the ball.

Pittsburg’s Kenny Ward burst onto the high school scene as a freshman last year. He is seeking another superb season this fall. (Jose Carlos Fajardo/Bay Area News Group)
Arizona commit RJ Mosely figures to follow up on his stellar 2024 postseason run that saw him catch 18 balls for 285 yards and two touchdowns in five games. Mosley will pair up with sophomore speedster Kenny Ward, who already holds multiple Division I offers after a monster year as a freshman.


While replacing Alcantara will be a tall task, Pittsburg will hand the QB keys to sophomore transfer Javale Jones after he shined as a starter for Clayton Valley last season.


Third-year coach Charlie Ramirez will have to get his young team up to speed quickly, but a rebuild doesn’t look likely for the Pirates.

Los Gatos, Wilcox still class of PAL Bay​

Can anyone outside of South Bay powerhouses Wilcox and Los Gatos rise up to make noise in the Peninsula Athletic League’s Bay Division?


It’ll be another uphill battle this year.


Los Gatos lost quarterback Scotty Brennan but brought back senior offensive stars in running back Grayson Doslak and wide receiver Beau Musser. Callum Schweitzer, who split time with Brennan in 2024, will take the reins fully for the first time.


Wilcox must rebuild without reigning BANG Santa Clara County player of the year and PAL Bay MVP Brayden Rosa, who moved on to UC Davis after finishing his career as one of the best players in school history. But the Chargers have something of a cheat code with their hard-to-stop veer offense, and junior QB Kai Imahara is the reigning PAL Bay offensive player of the year.

Wilcox’s Kai Imahara returns after receiving PAL Bay offensive player of the year honors last season. (Doug Duran/Bay Area News Group)
Sacred Heart Prep played Wilcox tough early in their matchup last season and returns QB Nico Pollioni, RB/LB Maxime Morelle and WR/DB Sasha Bamdad. Menlo School brings back QB Jack Freehill and DE Palmer Riley, a Princeton commit who missed the Knights’ first five games last year with injury.


Palo Alto struggled in 2024, but junior quarterback Justin Fung gained valuable on-the-job experience. The dynamic dual-sport athlete won’t be able to throw to his brother Jeremiah anymore, but he should be more comfortable operating the offense in his second full year at the helm.


Menlo-Atherton will run through senior QB Teddy Dacey, a dynamic dual-threat athlete who has played significant snaps the past two seasons.


Wilcox and Los Gatos are once again the clear favorites. But there are talented players who could rise up all over the league rated as the strongest in the CCS in 2023 and 2024.
