2024 Summer: Football is Coming! Hornets and Dons Line Up Impressive Schedules

Lincoln and Cathedral, traditional big shots in the Western League and San Diego Section, appear to be trying to outdo each other.

The Hornets of coach David Dunn, 24-2 over the last two seasons, are signed to play road games at Long Beach Poly, Sacramento Grant, and Coronado High of Henderson, Nevada, plus home games against San Juan Capistrano JSerra, Los Alamitos, and Las Vegas Arbor View.

It is a powerful nonleague gauntlet Lincoln will try to get through before the Hornets take on Western League rivals Cathedral, Madison, St. Augustine, and Point Loma, which is moving over from the Eastern League.

Cathedral, 12-2 and a state 1-AA Division champion in 2021, is coming off 6-6 and 4-8 seasons in 2022 and ’23.  The Dons, 227-102-0 (.690) since 1996 under head coach Sean Doyle, have scheduled nonleague encounters with San Diego Section thoroughbreds Granite Hills, Helix, and Mater Dei.

Cathedral also booked intersectional challenges with L.A. Mission Hills Chaminade, San Francisco St. Ignatius (alma mater of San Diego Chargers Hall of Fame quarterback Dan Fouts), and Phoenix Mountain Pointe, and then jumps into the Western League.

Lincoln and Cathedral, plus about 95 percent of the 96 other football-playing schools’ schedules,  can be found here.  Additions, corrections, or deletions will be noted as the teams prepare for Week 1 Aug. 23.
