2010 CIF State Championships

Division III: Escalon vs. Madison (San Diego)
Escalon (13-1, 6-0) represents the Sac-Joaquin Section as its D-IV champion. The Trans Valley League
champion Cougars are coached by Mark Loureiro. They face Madison (12-1, 5-0, which won the San Diego
Section D-IV title. The representatives of the Western League, the Warhawks are guided by coach Rick Jackson.
Escalon magical season thus far was highlighted with a 22-20 victory over Calaveras in the SJS-D-IV final. The
Cougars have won 11 straight, including a victory over Central Catholic of Modesto, which was ranked No. 1 in
some Division IV media polls.
Madison’s hallmark is defense. The Warhawks allowed only 47 points in league play and 35 in the playoffs.
They fell to Olympian of Chula Vista 28-17 on Oct. 15. But bounced back and avenged the loss with a 48-7 win
over Eagles in the San Diego Section semifinals.

Division II: Folsom vs. Serra (Gardena)
Folsom (13-1, 5-0) qualified as the Sac-Joaquin Section D-I champion. The Bulldogs, who won the Delta River
League, are coached by Kris Richardson. Serra (14-0, 5-0) earned a bid after winning the Southern Section
Western Division title. The champions of the Mission League are coach by Scott Altenberg.
Folsom is a first timer in the State Bowl Games. Still, the Bulldogs are far from lacking notoriety. After falling to
perennial power Grant of Sacramento 49-14 in their season opener, the Bulldogs earned sweat revenge with 41-
20 win over the Pacers in the SJS D-II title game. The Bulldogs also have a 13-game winning streak, including a
triumph over SJS D-I champion Pleasant Grove of Elk Grove.
Serra seeks a second straight state football title after winning the D-III game last season. The Cavaliers also have
the longest current winning streak in the state at 29 games and probably has more Division I college prospects
than any other team in Southern California, including Servite.

Division IV: Brookside Christian (Stockton) vs. Bishop’s School (La Jolla)
Brookside Christian (12-0, 5-0) came out of the Sac-Joaquin Section, winning the D-VI title. The winners of the
Central California AA League, the Knights are coached by LaTe’f Grim. The Knights’ opponents will be the
Knights of Bishop’s School (13-0, 4-0), the winner of the San Diego Section Division V championship. The
Southern California Knights won the Coastal League and are coached by Joel Allen.
Brookside Christian (12-0, 5-0) knows how to score points. The Knights have won 12 games scoring at least 28
points or more. One of their wins was over Bradshaw Christian of Elk Grove, which was the two-time defending
section champion.
Bishop’s School enters the game with a perfect record thanks to a prolific offense, too. Three times the Knights
earned wins with 50 points or more and four times their defense limited their opponents to 10 points or less.

Cal Preps has Folsom winning:
Folsom 34-31
Bishop"s over the Undefeated BC 41-28
Madison over Escalon 35-22

I have Brookside C winning and going undefeated for the year!
A lot of people down south like the chances of their team,but I still like Folsom in this one.
Escalon almost lost to Calavares.They needed a hail Mary pass to win. I think they will come up short in this game.The Sac Joaquin Section should bring 2 Championships home!
Good Luck to all three!

Can anyone name the returning teams?

Servite v. DLS is a great matchup....

And it is fortunate that Servite had the opportunity to meet a team very similar to DLS in Mission Viejo this week. By similar I mean, both have very good RB's that run with the same passion (Kessman and Dunne). Both MV and DLS have solid QB's that can complete the routine pass and run the offense well. Both have sound defenses (I think DLS' is a bit better than MV but not by much). Both had solid kicking games and special teams. This will allow Servite to understand what they will be facing and how much more they have to focus. It won't be like a year ago when they were new at this stuff. I see Servite winning a dog fight 28-21.

Folsom vs Serra
Serra has many D1 recruits,and more speed than Folsom.
This game will turnout to be a shootout between 2 great QB's! Both combined for over 100 TD's this year!
I just hope the weather holds up and will allow these 2 talented and exciting QB's to fully showcase their talents!
