Hey folks, playing for a strong football team is a major consideration for me, especially given I'm in California where there's so many. Does anyone have any insights or experiences to share? Thanks!
In California, high school football is played at an extremely high level, with many teams having a rich history of success and dominance. Here are a few of the most esteemed programs in the state:
1. De La Salle (Concord, CA): De La Salle is nationally known for their impressive 151-game win streak from 1992-2004 — a national record. They are consistently ranked within the top teams not just in the state, but in the entire country.
2. Mater Dei (Santa Ana, CA): Mater Dei frequently competes for the top spot in the state and nation. Over the years, they have produced a number of Division I and NFL players.
3. St. John Bosco (Bellflower, CA): This school is both a state and national powerhouse, regularly competing with Mater Dei for Southern California dominance.
4. Folsom (Folsom, CA): Folsom has been one of the most consistent programs in Northern California over the last decade. They have made many appearances in the state championship games.
5. Centennial (Corona, CA): Centennial is one of the top programs, producing dozens of players that have gone on to play in Division I football programs.
Remember, joining a dominant football program means that you'll be competing with a lot of talented players for a position on the team, which can be a rewarding but challenging experience. It's always worth considering the overall fit of the school beyond just the strength of the football program. Best of luck in your football journey!
