A new bowl format will begin this fall in the CIF for football.
By a vote of 71-64, the CIF state Federated Council approved the measure on Friday.
It means all 51 section champions from around the state will be invited to play in regional bowl games. This past year, only 18 participated. It means all three City Section champions from Division I, II and III will play in bowl games.
The Southern Section, the largest section in the state, opposed the measure.
There will be 13 divisions matched by competitive equity and the championship games will be played throughout the state.

Anyone got any rumors or real word on any hires in all the open jobs?

2015 Nor Cal Spring Showcase-NCAA certified event-April 24-26 (Friday to Sunday) at the new Jamtown facility in Oakland.

The 4th annual Nor Cal Spring Showcase will be held Friday (6-10 pm)
Saturday (9 am-9 pm) Sunday (9 am-4 pm) April 24-26, 2015 at Jamtown in
Oakland.

The event will be NCAA certified allowing Division I
coaches to attend. Fifty teams from California and others areas will
participate.

Every team will play four games. For more
information contact event director Gerry Freitas at 408-998-1327 or via
email: gerryfreitas@hotmail.com.

A trio of Southern California football teams will travel to Concord to play De La Salle this fall. Orange Lutheran will come up in week 3, Servite in week 4, and Long Beach Poly in week 7. DLS left their league a few years ago so they have the freedom to pick and choose who they play. Their schedule is very good with what could be a top 5 national team with tons of returners especially on offense.

Per Jack Pollon, Daily News/Californiapreps contributor:


The fallout from Westlake continues as quarterback Malik Henry announced on Twitter today (see link below) that he will be transferring to IMG Academy in Florida, which is roughly 300 miles away from his future college, Florida State. His father Marchell confirmed the news via text.
Henry, a five-star recruit, committed to the Seminoles in November. He's also the second football player to transfer following Marques Evans in the wake of former coach Jim Benkert leaving to become co-head coach at Oaks Christian
All eyes continue to watch to see who will stay or go at Westlake. backup quarterback Grant Bunker, a junior, filled in admirably for Henry in passing for a school record five touchdowns against Paraclete this season.

To avoid any site overload like the one last year, Rivals has been preparing for the football National Signing Day for quite a few months and
has been "stress-testing" and "load-balancing" the Rivals network throughout the midnight hours recently. This has led
to some occasional stability errors as any bugs are worked out.

A critical test tonight (Friday) will focus on site security. Every single Rivals subscriber will be automatically logged out at[/B]
10 p.m. PT. Every single user will then be required to log back in with their username and password that
they are registered with - as they would normally log in on any day.

That should be the only issue anyone will experience.
Since the Call Center will be closed, users who have log-in issues beyond new Passwords can
email Subscriptions@Rivals.com for immediate remedy. That email will be monitored closely for prompt
support help.

Thank you for your patience, we're working hard to ensure the best possible product.



Also, look for major upgrades soon to the message boards. I've participated in the beta version and lots of cool features are on the way.

Renaissance Academy point guard Marquise Mosley states he received an offer from Cal Baptist University. I'm surprised he hasn't received more; maybe this will get things rolling.

just read in the paper this morning they crushed Bloomington 161 - 2 ?

and they have also recorded more lopsided scores.

are they this good ?

also read Bloomington was scorched earlier, but not by 159 points.

unsportsmanlike for the AV coaches? or ?

Check out Brandon Tatera's early look at the upcoming season. Lots of talent returning!

FAB 5 for 2015 season

Team travels all the way from New Jersey and gets absolutely screwed by some amateur officials...Not one security guard at game...Parents running on the court...California team gets 6 free throws after a scuffle between both teams...Look at the video...Now this team can't even participate in the NJ Basketball State Tournament...California HS Sports is an absolute JOKE!

Hope 2015 is a great for all of us. Here's to good health and happiness.

12/19/2014 - California Interscholastic Federation (CIF) Executive Director Roger Blake[/B] today announced Sacramento State - Hornet Stadium will serve as the main host for the CIF State Football Championship Bowl Games from 2015-17.

Westlake junior quarterback Malik Henry announced today on twitter he will be making his college decision next Thursday. The top ranked junior in California, ranking #9 overall in the Rivals.com Rivals 100 2016 has a final four of Notre Dame, UCLA, Ohio State, and Florida State.

Notre Dame is the perceived leader with just over a week left in the sweepstakes for this electric QB.

4-star RB Ronald Jones announced just before kickoff at the Under Armour All-America game that he'll be a Trojan (over Notre Dame). Then he scored a 58-yd TD after a nice cut, and great burst through the line.
