Top 25 Northern California Coast high school football rankings (10/10/2023)

Not much movement after the top 25 teams go a combined 21-2

One of the biggest games of the year is Friday, when second-ranked De La Salle (4-2) travels to No. 3 San Ramon Valley (6-0) with a 265-game North Coast Section unbeaten streak on the line. 

The last time the Spartans lost to a NCS team was in the 1991 3A championship game, 35-27, to Pittsburg. 

De La Salle has rattled off 31 straight NCS titles and never lost to a section team during the regular season as well. San Ramon Valley, with one of Northern California's top quarterbacks Luke Baker, and a strong cast, that includes junior linebacker Marco Jones, has a legitimate shot to score the historic win.
