With the winter season completed, we’re in the process of gathering the material for our 44th annual Cal-Hi Sports All-State boys basketball team and our 43rd annual team for girls hoops. We’ll be naming Mr. and Ms. Basketball, coaches of the year, players of the year by class and CIF Division and much more, including our overall 30-player elite teams. As we compile this info, we thought it would be a great time to look back at all the all-state teams in five sports we’ve named since 1979. We’ll continue to add details and previously published player write-ups to every team that you can view with a Gold Club Membership.
It’s hard to imagine we’re rapidly approaching 50 years of doing rankings, state stat stars and naming all-state teams. The first team for boys basketball in 1979-80 included two players from San Francisco public schools, Eric Booker of Balboa and Braxton Clark of Mission. The team also included Kenny Fields of L.A. Verbum Dei, which produced as many all-state level players of any school in the 1970s, Clayton Olivier of Los Amigos of Fountain Valley and Mr. Basketball choice Ralph Jackson of Inglewood, which that season produced one of the greatest teams the state has ever seen. The Lakers would even follow and check in to see how the Sentinels were doing.
Nelson Tennis
The first girls team included one player who stood out as a sophomore and would have made first team all-state as a freshman: Cheryl Miller of Riverside Poly. She was that good and to this day we still haven’t seen a better player. As a junior, she overshadowed a girl who made second five: future WNBA great Cynthia Cooper of L.A. Locke. Back then, L.A. City Section girls basketball was played in the fall and San Diego Section girls basketball was played in the spring and looking back at it, probably altered the selections a bit. Needless to say, looking at this year’s all-state girls candidates, the sport has come a long way.
Instead of doing writeups on the finalists for Mr. and Ms. Basketball, who are all going to be on the overall all-state team anyway, we thought we’d remind our readers you can view all of our previous all-state teams over the years. Check out the links below or simply click on the tab on the blue navigation bar named “All-State.” There are plenty of all-state teams in our five core sports, plus many supplemental ones as well. We invite you to check them all out.
Keep in mind, we also have exclusive California state records on the website (as drop-downs under the “Record Book” tab) and final state rankings (under the “Rankings” tab) back to 1975 available to view and research. That year, with help from his nephew Mark Tennis, Nelson was asked by the Sacramento Bee to write up a collection of state football rankings. He did and made up the name, “Cal-Hi Sports,” to go along with those rankings.
On May 23, 2004, 67-year-old Cal-Hi Sports co-founder Nelson Tennis died due to complications of bladder cancer. In his honor, we have now published our various archived honor squads and state rankings in five sports. We continue to add various honor squads (and will be adding retroactive all-state teams in boys basketball and football) and record book categories each season.
Note: A Gold Club Membership is required to view many of our archived honor squads and state rankings over the last 40 years. You can’t get exclusive all-state teams, state rankings and our own one-of-a-kind outlook on California’s top teams and athletes on any other web site or from any other media source.
Listed below is our annual Cal-Hi Sports All-State teams and honor squads over the years:
