The leagues and teams sometimes are different and some teams play football in one league and basketball in another. Some teams don’t play football and some of these leagues don’t offer football.
MaxPreps ranks any team in California that provides information and Max’s information is not always complete. Cal-Hi Sports rates from 1 to 25 and then cites many more considered to be on “On the Bubble.”
Max received information from 124 San Diego Section schools this season, compared to 84 football-playing schools in 2022.
Winning a league championship is the first step to the playoffs for aspiring teams, although teams that did not win their league may be seeded higher in the postseason and may have better overall records.
But that doesn’t diminish the achievements of the champions of the 42 Boys’ and Girls’ circuits in the San Diego Section. Ask any coach, the initial goal at the start of the season is to “win our league.”
