Rivals.com just released their class of 2021 top 100 rankings of the top incoming juniors in the country. Eight guys from the state, seven from the south led by the fourth ranked player, Corona Centennial defensive lineman Korey Foreman.

21. Jake Garcia, QB, Narbonne
23. Troy Franklin, WR, Menlo-Atherton

At first I was looking forward to it but then I looked at the other teams in the division and the only teams that look like fun and interesting matchups were San Jacinto and Warren, there's no other division champs and nobody else I was that intrigued by, if someone can point somebody else out to me, I'm all ears

Per CIF-SS press release:

I want to take this opportunity to inform you of some significant changes that will be forthcoming in the sport of Football for 2019... With the full support of the CIF Southern Section Football Coaches Advisory Committee, we plan to implement the following:

You will notice that we have a larger group of schools in a combined Divisions 1 and 2. The reason for that is at the end of the regular season, similar to what we have done in Basketball, Volleyball, Water Polo and Tennis, we will have a Football Selection Committee choose the top 8 schools after Week 10 games have been played and place them into Division 1.

There will be an 8-team bracket for that division and the schools involved will have a Bye Week before beginning the Division 1 Playoffs. The remaining schools from the combined Divisions 1/2 who are not selected for Division 1 will be placed into Division 2, which will be a 16-team bracket.

Also, since the Division 1 bracket is 8 teams, we will create another division, meaning we will increase from 13 divisions to a total of 14 divisions next season.

The Football Selection Committee will utilize our At-Large selection criteria: head-to-head results from teams under consideration, overall won-loss record, strength of schedule, using the overall won-loss record of their opponents, strength of league, strength against common opponents, etc., to choose the 8 teams for Division 1.

Understand that competitive equity playoffs are not about filling brackets with teams who do not belong, which is what we have seen in the Division 1 Playoffs recently, resulting in non-competitive games and lopsided scores.

In this new format, the Division 1 bracket will contain only those teams whose power rankings justify their placement into that division using the most accurate information we have available to do so.

USC announced on Tuesday the signings of Bru McCoy and Chris Steele. Both 5-star 2019 prospects ranked 12th(McCoy) and 19th in the country are the second and third ranked prospects in the state in the Rivals.com 2019 top 100.

The wide receiver/linebacker and Mater Dei grad McCoy graduated early, enrolled at USC then transferred to Texas and is back at USC.

Steele, the defensive back from St. John Bosco, graduated early and enrollied at Florida and transferred to USC, he was previously committed to Oregon following his transfer but decided on USC.

With Greg Zomalt leading the Coyote's and brother Eric leaving Citrus Hill to join him I'd say to bank it this season !

What other district can say all their high schools have won at least one title ?

The latest football transfer in Southern California is 6'3 senior Traeshon Holden. The wide receiver committed to Alabama announced his transfer to Narbonne from St. Frances Academy of Baltimore today.

The Gauchos are loaded this year and are the overwhelming favorite in the LA City Section, as they seek their sixth consecutive title.

Pleased to announce the lineup for December 12th - 13th - 14th. 2019
