SoCal/NorCal Players of the Week
There were a couple of honorees this week who were slam dunks and then a couple of others that took a lot of digging, but we came up with four very deserving recipients, including a freshman whose name you might want to remember. This week’s winners are from Thousand Oaks, Rocklin, Los Angeles and Oakhurst. […]
NEW State Top 25 Girls BB Rankings
We had our first somewhat big upset of the season with Rosary of Fullerton topping Mater Dei of Santa Ana, but after all was said and done what looked like might be total chaos as a result of that, nothing changed in the first nine spots. One upset just can’t erase more than one significant...

We took a hiatus for our Players of the Week feature for the holidays but we’re back with some outstanding performances that include the past two weeks. We have honorees from Richmond and Los Gatos in the north plus Saugus and Villa Park in the south. We hope you enjoy this free story on Cal-Hi […]
NEW State Top 25 Girls BB Rankings
There weren’t a lot of changes in this week’s rankings but with more showcases the next two weekends that involve ranked teams in Northern and Southern California that is likely to change.

SoCal/NorCal Players of the Week
Like last week and the first week of basketball players being honored when we had two players sink eight three-pointers, we have a player who made eight treys, but we also have one that canned 10 from outside the arc. This week’s selections are from Northridge, Sonora, Ontario and Sacramento. We hope you enjoy this […]
