St. Francis: State Softball Team of Year

St. Francis of Mountain View could have been No. 2 for the final evaluations of State Team of the Year candidates in softball this season, but the Lancers already were No. 1 entering the final week and did a great job in winning the CIF Northern California Division I title.

NEW Softball State Top 20

Loss by previous No. 2 Gahr not only screws up the CIF Southern Section Division I seedings, but also drops down the Gladiators in this week’s State Top 20. The other big move was to elevate Foothill of Pleasanton back up to No. 11 after it beat previous No. 11 Amador Valley behind ace pitcher...
