The 2025 football season has come to an end as the CIF champions have been crowned. Alta Loma and Northview will both bring back loaded rosters of underclassmen. Also the Bishop Amat defensive line and Charter Oak’s defensive backfield both have bright futures with a talented young group of players returning.
These are the young players (underclassmen) that performed at an exceptionally high level all year long. You can expect to see big things from these guys in the area over the next two to three years.

In the MVS coverage area, SEM, La Habra and RHP have state games this weekend, yet George says the season has ended. Does Hernandez wield sufficient power to cancel these upcoming games, or is man mistaken, as he was in his flattering La Serna write-up?
From T. Peterson: SEM and RHP are in our coverage area. La Habra is not. So the season is over for everybody except two teams. And there are no SEM or RHP players listed here so for the purpose of this piece the season is over. Oh and the La Serna story was spot on. Hope that clears up your confusion.
Is the Alta Loma QB related to Coach Fierro who was the OC at Don Lugo while Knight was the HC?
Oh wow no one from La Serna???
