It’s a big state this Cali-four-ni-yay, better known as California, the Golden State.
The high school playoff season is in full force, with a few sections already determining champions and automatic bids in the CIF State Championships.
Many of those get pushed up to the forefront in this week’s playoff version of California Games of the Week
WHAT: North Coast Section Open Division championship
WHEN: 7 p.m. Friday
WHERE: Diablo Valley College
The NCS adopted an interesting format a couple years ago where the top half of the Open Division/D1 bracket is meant for the Open and bottom half is D1.
So, the loser of this game is still alive and simply plays the Division 1 semifinal winner in next week’s elimination game to decide the D1 champion. That guarantees the two best teams out of the NCS moves on to state, a great concetpt that right now the Central Coast has adopted.
As for the game, tremendous amount of game-breakers led by Pittsburg’s RB Jamar Searcy and QB Marley Alcantara, along with De La Salle’s three-year starters, QB Toa Faavae and RBs Derrick Blanche Jr. and Dom Kelley.
Besides the many more D1 athletes — more than a dozen including UCLA commits, safety Jadyn Hudson and DE JuJu Walls, both of Pittsburg — the game’s biggest intrigue is can Pittsburg possibly end De La Salle’s 33-year, 277-game unbeaten streak stranglehold on the NCS.
The last De La Salle defeat of any kind — forget the 32 consecutive years of winning a section championship — was 1991 when, yes, Pittsburg handed the Spartans a 35-27 defeat in the 3A NCS championship at the Oakland Coliseum.
A starting sophomore LB on that team was current Pittsburg head coach Charlie Ramirez, who was on the field for Percy McGee’s famous 79-yard pick 6 that sealed the win with just over two minutes remaining.
While many have played up possible upsets by NCS teams in championship games only to be severely disappointed, there is merit in picking the Pirates, whose only defeat was 35-14 to then national No. 2 St. John Bosco.
“They’re a great team by even Pittsburg standards,” De La Salle coach Justin Alumbaugh said. “They’ve had some really incredible teams over the years. The attention they are getting is well deserved.”
Said Ramirez: “Year in and year out their staff gets their players to do the little things great. We have to match that energy and let the football gods take care of the rest.”

A rematch of one of the best games of the season, a 28-24 St. John Bosco win when freshman QB Koa Malau’ulu came off the bench to throw four second-half touchdowns. The host Braves, ranked 10th nationally by SBLive, will try to slow down the one-two punch of QB T.J. Lateef (Nebraska commit) to tight end A.J. la (Arizona commit).

A rematch of the season opener, a 42-25 Mater Dei win also at Centennial, the sixth straight win for the Monarchs in the series. California’s No. 1 recruit, recent USC commit quarterback Husan Longstreet didn’t play in that one, which could make a big difference. In nine games, he’s thrown for 1,641 yards and 19 touchdowns and rushed for nearly 500 yards and six more scores. Mater Dei, the naton’s No. 1 team, has looked largely unbeatable all season with a 375-143 point differential behind super steady Washington-bound QB Dash Beierly (1,687 yards, 21 TDs, 1 interception), Oregon-bound RB Jordon Davison (875 yards, 13 TDs) a largely invincible defense, led by DL Nasir Wyatt (Oregon) and Tomuhini Topui (Utah).

These perennial section powers haven’t played since 2019, a 39-38 humdinger of win for Murrieta Valley which have won three of four in the series. The teams also piled up 1,506 yards and 132 points in the wildest of games, a 70-62 Murrieta Valley game at Oaks Christian in 2016. The nonleague game in September featured 503 passing yards, on just 23 completions and two touchdowns, by Matt Corral, both to then sophomore Mycah Pittman (13 catches, 380 yards). Teammate Zach Charbonnet, now a Seattle Seahawk, rushed for 146 yards and six touchdowns, all in a loss. Murrieta Valley’s Hank Bachmeier, then a sophomore completed 18 of 24 for 418 yards and seven touchdowns that night, four to Marquis Spiker (7 catches, 237 yards). Teammate Olita Palmer rushed 32 times for 269 yards and two touchdowns. Bachmeier, a senior QB at Wake Forest, ammassed 15,340 all-purpose yards and 188 touchdowns in high school.
Back to this game, Oaks Christian has won 7 of 8, including a 35-21 game last week over San Juan Hills as top junior RB Deshonne Redeaux rushed 181 yards and two TDs and freshman QB Trey Towns threw for 250 yards and two scores. Murrieta Valley has won 9 of 10 (only loss to Centennial) and scored at least 42 in six straight games behind Bachmeier’s brother Bear, who last week accounted for four touchdowns and 320 yards in a 49-28 win over Los Alamitos.

Carlsbad would love nothing more than to eliminate the Eagles who did the same to the Lancers last season, winning the SDS game of the year, 46-45. Max Turner has rushed 200 times for 1,679 yards and 24 TDs for Granite Bay and Carlsbad may have found a gem in Kai Brown, who rushed for 177 yards and three TDs last week while replacing starter Jack Morrison. The teams have played just three times with Carlsbad winning the previous two before last year, 63-14 in 2021 and 49-7 in 2011.
