Football

The Selma High football program is one of the most longest tenured football programs in the Central Valley, with the inaugural season starting back in 1894. In the early 1980s Selma was dominant and won a Valley title with former San Diego State University Quarterback Todd Santos. In the mid 1990s Dean Cardoza took over the program and held that post until stepping down after the 2004 season. Under Cardoza Selma had limited success and he ended his career with a 13-game losing streak. Selma was then able to hire former Hanford West head coach Justin Fowler in March 2005. Fowler in his third season ended Selma's 34 game losing streak and helped the bears clinch a berth in the playoffs. Fowler stayed with the program before abruptly leaving for the head coaching position at Mt. Whitney HS in Visalia, CA. Fowler left after the first week of Summer in the 2009 season. Selma scrambled to find a coach and found success with Mike Crews, who previously left Ridgeview HS in Bakersfield, CA. Crews compiled a 22-31 record while leading Selma to its first home playoff win since 1980. Crews resigned concluding the 2014 season. The Bears were then able to hire former Sanger High School defensive coordinator Matt Logue. This was Logue's, who was an All American Linebacker at Sacramento State Hornets, first head coaching gig. During the 2016 Varsity football season the Bears held an undefeated 13-0 record and won a CIF Central Section Valley Championship (Division 4). Concluding the Central Section Playoffs Selma received a bid to play in the CIF State D4-AA South Regional Game against Bakersfield Christian, who was also 13-0 after winning the CIF CS D3 championship. Selma lost 28-27 in one of the most attended games in Staley Stadium history.
