2020: Winningest Active Coaches, Through 2019
Will there be a season?
Even a truncated season with no playoffs and play restricted to league games will be cause for rejoicing, it says here.
The state CIF is scheduled to make a decision July 20 on whether there will be games in the fall.
Meanwhile, coaches and players wait.

QUICK KICKS
Jack Mashin was the first coach to win 100 games, when Grossmont defeated Oceanside, 21-6, in game 6 of the 1941 season… El Camino’s Mike Hobbs coached a San Diego Section record and maybe coached or tied a state record… Hobbs’ team
posted a 9-7 record in 2019…the 16 games played in one season have never been equaled in this area…other teams from San Diego played 15 games in the previous decade, but El Camino went one step further when it did not have a first-week bye and was forced to play four San Diego section playoff games before entering the state playoffs…after a 4-6 regular season, the Wildcats caught fire and won five in a row before bowing at Santa Rosa Cardinal Newman, 31-13, in the state III-AA championship game….
