It’s CIF State Bowl Championship Week and the show kicks off its week-long coverage with a jam-packed episode looking back at a number of NorCal championship results.

Hosts Chace Bryson and Ben Enos offer up impressions and anecdotes from NorCal wins by Pittsburg, Grant-Sacramento and De La Salle-Concord. Then they pivot to 3-A NorCal Champion Bellarmine-San Jose and welcome a guest appearance from running back Ben Pfaff. The senior talks about the team’s big win over Vanden-Fairfield, details his mid-season injury frustrations, and shares what has unlocked the team’s full potential down the stretch.
