Football isn’t quite over but traditionally this is the week we shift gears from the gridiron to the hard-court of the gymnasium and begin our weekly boys and girls basketball honors.

SoCal/NorCal Players of the Week

NorCal/SoCal Players of the Week
For the first time in as long as we can remember two of our NorCal honorees are from the CIF Central Section which we remind our readers that for this and all our weekly features honoring players is considered part of Northern California.
