Our guys pick 16 more games and discuss several topics, including Riordan’s ascent into the Top 5.
Serra quarterback Maealiuaki Smith passes for a first down against De La Salle in the 4th quarter, Saturday, Sept. 2, 2023, in San Mateo, Calif. We pick 16 more games, highlighted by St. Ignatius at St. Francis, San Ramon Valley at Clayton Valley Charter and Wilcox at Menlo-Atherton.
Joseph Dycus has fallen 15 games behind me and nine back of Mike Lefkow in the season standings. Lots of big swings and misses by the kid as he tried to make up ground in a hurry.Dycus didn’t swing so wildly this week — so he won’t gain or lose too much ground.Parts of the conversation focused on Archbishop Riordan’s ascent into the Top 5 of this week’s Bay Area News Group rankings.
Said Lefkow, who has followed Bay Area high school football for many years, “I am becoming more and more impressed with what Riordan’s doing. I am not saying I love the way they went about doing it . But that is a good football team.”I suggested that maybe teams such as Riordan are a product of modern-day football.
Lefkow and I are old school. We covered college football long before the transfer portal. In high school sports, whether or not rule violations were committed, transfers have always had a negative connotation.The Riordan transfers were cleared by the Central Coast Section and have made a difference, including one who became eligible this past weekend, 6-foot-5, 330-pound junior Peter Langi.
