No matter how you care to parse it, the postponed, truncated, odd 2020 prep football season is going to be a bit weird. Maybe a lot weird. It's less than two weeks from kickoff. It's an unprecedented experiment. We can expect some interesting consequences. Among them: More freshmen than ever before being eligible for varsity action; smaller rosters due to serious competition from other concurrent sports; no use of locker rooms (indoor facilities are frowned upon); a lack of older volunteer help (vulnerable demographic if vaccinations are not up to speed); some coaching staffs that use the contests as a form of spring football geared for the traditional 2021 season; lots of fans inventing ways to attend games with or without valid credentials.

.........and now that the Pro season, the College season and most of the rest of the HS season (believe the number of 40 other states has been batted around) is done California Preps FB will have every pigskin junkie's focus. For 6 weekends Cal Preps will be the last popsickle in the Sahara, the last Irish Coffee at the west end of the Buena Vista Bar and the final hard boiled egg at a Polish picnic.
So good luck guys let's have some good football.
It will be interesting how teams "play" this season. Do you get seniors as many snaps as possible? Do you play the whole roster like an NFL preseason game? Do you try to go all out for wins?
I think it will be a mixed bag of those options.
We also had our first team enter the two week quarantine at Whitney, which postponed or cancelled their opener against Rocklin

I've noticed that the teams that continued to work out (weight training) look like they will be stronger physically due to focus and more time to get stronger and just a few more months of maturity. There may be greater disparity in some programs that haven't kept up the stringent training. Probably will be big differences in typical level of play.
