MaxPreps Staff Report
Ratings Compiled By Ned Freeman
ÿ
California's first CIF State Football Championship Bowl Games will take place Dec. 16 at the Home Depot Center in Carson.
ÿ
Three schools from the North will meet three from the South in Divisions I, II, and III to give California its first true state championship teams.
ÿ
MaxPreps will detail the potential contenders each week through Ned Freeman's ratings. Ultimately, section commissioners will decide the pairings, but the ratings should give fans a good indication of the schools in the running to be part of the historical event.
