OFFICIALS RECRUITMENT FAIR AUGUST 27

Check this link for more information. PERSISTENCE PAYS OFF FOR FORMER BALBOA GRIDIRON STAR
Nearly thirteen years ago McLeod Bethel-Thompson was completing a record breaking career leading his Balboa Buccaneer football squad to the SF Section Turkey Day title game, ultimately falling to Lincoln 21-20. He continued on to compete in college, first with UCLA and then finishing up and graduating from Sacramento State. Though not drafted, Mac felt he had the skills to make it at the professional level. After eight years filling the practice squad and/or third string back up spot on a number of NFL teams (including the 49ers, Vikings, Dolphins, Patriots, and Eagles) and never playing a down in a league game, he moved north of the boarder in 2017 signing with Toronto of the CFL. This past August 2nd, after all the hard work and persistence, he FINALLY was given the opportunity to show his stuff, making his first start as a pro--and was it a memorable one! Mac had a rough first half, but worked out the kinks during the break and proceeded to bring the Argonauts back from a double digit deficit, ultimately stunning the favored Ottawa Redblacks with a game ending touchdown drive. Check these links for a recap of the game, highlights of the action, and an interview with the hero! Congrats to our former SF Section Player of the Year, and let's hope Big Mac has many more games and wins in his future! STATE CIF ADVISORY ON FIELDING TEAMS OUTSIDE SEASON OF SPORT

We provide an Alumni History Page under the About Us menu item above dedicated to preserving specific historical athletic information from our past and present AAA/SF Section schools. Check it out! If you have any information about major school events or athletes who have made it to the Professional or Olympic level, please forward it to us via e-mail. ANNUAL CHAMPIONS POSTED
The updated AAA Annual Champions by Sport are posted on our Schedules/Results/Standings page under the SPORTS menu item above. Being that the AAA dates back to 1924, there are a number of years in various sports for which we have been unable to determine the champion. We are, therefore, requesting your assistance in helping us "fill in the blanks." If you have any information that might shed some light on those "dark years", please call us at 415-920-5185 or send an e-mail to John Zlatunich. Together we can create and build a concise history of the AAA! No person shall be denied access to CIF San Francisco Section athletic programs on the basis of color, gender, race, nationality or sexual orientation.
