steeler01 Posted May 1, 2018 Report Share Posted May 1, 2018 Fontana was a smash mouth team led by Derrick Malone in the backfield and a top notch defense anchored by the Sylvester brothers. I actually have video of this team Fontana was a spitting image of what Allen is now. A city with one H.S. and a diverse student body(Polynesians, Latinos, African Americans, and caucasians) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rancho Cordova in NorCal was right up there with them during those years. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Omaha Vol Posted May 1, 2018 Report Share Posted May 1, 2018 I started getting interest in high school football in the mid 80’s when I was a youngster. I remember Fontana being a powerhouse back in those days. I also remember some other names such as Carson, Banning, and even San Diego Morse. To some of the older Cali guys, where those other teams listed competitive? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know, I didn't watch every team of the 80's, but they were better than the 89 Fontana team. The 1980 Banning team with Alo is considered as good as any team during the 80's as well.

BigDrop Posted May 1, 2018 Report Share Posted May 1, 2018 The 82 Servite team that featured Steve Beuerlein and played Moeller at Kings Island’s Hall of Fame stadium was written up as-up.to that time-one of the strongest C.A. teams ever. You have to remember the buildup for this game: Moeller’s coach had just left to go straight to Notre Dame, five national championships in 6 years, 105 victories in 107 games, the year before 3 (of 22) Parade All Americans from Moeller, 60 minute lead feature on them, home gowns played before 20,000+, national schedule. Servite thought they could beat Moeller and flew 2000 miles to try. I believe that Servite team for its time was the equal of last year’s Mater Dei. Certainly it’s qb, Beuerlein, had a similar reputation. And past years had shown Moeller rolling over top teams from Florida, Texas, Va, PA, Mi, MD, etc. Servite finished the year #4 in USA Today despite the loss. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They also squeaked by Saint Paul(23-20), and beat Loyola on a bad snapped punt that they scored on(Fluky play to score on your own bad snapped punt) That 1982 Servite team is nowhere near the 2017 Mater Dei team. 1982 Servite went life and death 3 times that season in Cali, Mater Dei didn't with better opposiition in its way 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steeler01 Posted May 1, 2018 Report Share Posted May 1, 2018 Best teams in SoCal history that I've watched. Not in any particular order These teams to me are better than the honorable mentioned teams, because they could run and pass the ball with equal amount of success. 2017 Mater Dei 2013 SJB 2008 Centennial 1997 Long Beach Poly(They had a QB to get the ball to their elite WR's) 1996 Mater Dei 1994 Los Al 1994 Mater Dei Honorable Mention 1993 Ike 1992 Bishop Amat 1987 Fontana Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedZone Posted May 1, 2018 Report Share Posted May 1, 2018 Some say that the 1990 Ruston Bearcats were the best team ever in Louisiana. They won a piece of the MNC that year. Most of this forum wasn't born in 1990. I see NO point. 😨 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1DayPGA Posted May 1, 2018 Report Share Posted May 1, 2018 I believe one of the top teams in Nor Cal back in the 70's-80's was Salesian, a small private catholic out of Richmond. They had DLS and coach Lad's number back in the 80's. Not sure if they could've hanged with Fontana etc. But I do recall they had a great coach.

They had DLS's number the first couple of years under Lad, but starting around 1984, it was a different story. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1DayPGA Posted May 1, 2018 Report Share Posted May 1, 2018 Yes, Shagnaussey was the coach. I think they were pretty strong in the 70's- and early 80's but after that they fell off the map til I think Javhid Best came around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the same for me in my little world growing up in Carmel. We had great sports teams for our county, but come playoffs we had to play WCAL schools and the game would be over before the first quarter ended. Never been so hurt by halftime. Emotionally and physically. Lol 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
