Bay Area High School Football Season Kicks Off: Top Teams Ready to Shine!

URGENT UPDATE: The highly anticipated high school football season in the Bay Area is officially set to kick off! Practices begin for teams in the Central Coast Section on Monday, August 11, 2025, and for those in the North Coast Section from August 11. With over 100 teams gearing up for Week 1 from August 28-30, excitement is palpable as players put their months of training to the test.

Thousands of athletes have dedicated long hours to agility workouts, early morning lifts, and 7-on-7 tournaments. Now, the moment of truth is here. Teams will compete in up to 10 regular-season games over the next 11 weekends, leading to playoffs in November. The season culminates in Southern California on December 12-13, where regional champions will vie for state titles across various divisions.

As practices commence, here are the top storylines to watch:

Is De La Salle Still No. 1? The Spartans are poised to dominate once again, returning key players like Jaden Jefferson, a North Carolina commit and state record holder in the 100-meter dash. Coach Justin Alumbaugh claims this is his fastest squad ever, with De La Salle facing formidable opponents, including Florida powerhouse Lakeland in their opener.

Archbishop Riordan Looks to Claim the WCAL With a star-studded roster featuring senior QB Michael Mitchell Jr. and several D1 prospects, Riordan is expected to be a leading contender in the West Catholic Athletic League. Following their co-championship last season, the Crusaders are determined to secure their place at the top.

El Cerrito’s Road to Redemption After a tumultuous 2024 season marred by controversy and forfeits, El Cerrito is ready to turn the page. New coach Tim Johnson takes the helm as they aim to rebuild and regain competitiveness, starting against powerhouse San Ramon Valley.

St. Ignatius Aims to Repeat Success Following an unexpected championship win last season, St. Ignatius faces the challenge of maintaining momentum under new coach JaJaun Lawson. The Wildcats are not to be underestimated as they look to build on their impressive past.

Pittsburg’s Transition Year? With significant talent graduated, Pittsburg faces questions about their ability to rebuild. Nevertheless, they still possess a wealth of Division I prospects, including RJ Mosely, who is expected to take on a leading role this season.

As the countdown to kickoff begins, fans can expect thrilling matchups, intense rivalries, and the emergence of future stars. Stay tuned for detailed league previews and player lists as Bay Area News Group gears up for another exciting season.
