De La Salle coach pushes for NorCal Open game revival, while local showdowns heat up in state football.
The CIF has set the matchups for the 2025 state football season, and one thing is clear: the North Coast Section is primed to put on a show. De La Salle coach says he's pushing to bring back the NorCal Open game, which was discontinued after last year's tournament. The De La Salle head coach wants to see the return of this highly anticipated matchup that pits top teams from the region against each other.
On the field, some of the most intriguing matchups are brewing. St. Ignatius and Monte Vista will face off in a battle between two of the top-ranked teams in NorCal. The Saints and Spartans have been on a tear, with St. Ignatius's high-powered offense looking to take down Monte Vista's stingy defense.
Another local showdown has El Cerrito taking on Menlo-Atherton. This matchup pits two of the league's top contenders against each other, with both teams vying for a spot in the top four. The Dons and Athertons have been evenly matched all season, making this game a must-win for either side.
But one thing is certain: the CIF's placement decisions will be put to the test as the state tournament approaches. With several teams still on the bubble, coaches are getting anxious about their team's chances of making a deep run in the playoffs.
As the 2025 season kicks off, fans can expect some thrilling matchups and intense competition from top to bottom. Will De La Salle succeed in bringing back the NorCal Open game? Can St. Ignatius take down Monte Vista? And which teams will make it out of the North Coast Section as the state tournament nears its conclusion? Only time will tell.
