NEW State Baseball TOP 35 Rankings
After having to skip one week due to a football event on May 4 and having to complete all of the all-state teams in girls basketball, the state baseball rankings we compile are back and will be weekly now through the CIF Northern California and Southern California regional playoffs. Corona is still No. 1, Granite...
State Softball/Baseball Players of Week
Have we ever had one week in the history of this feature (more than 10 years on this site) in which two of our honorees both threw back-to-back no-hitters? We’re not sure. All four of this week’s featured players did some amazing things and we’re pleased to bring their stories to a bigger audience. They […]
State Stat Stars & Record Updates
There is one big performance from this week we’re going to save for the next players of the week, but we still have a bunch of great ones to get out there. We start in softball with a player who broke a Monterey County strikeout record held by USA Softball legend Monica Abbott and we...
State Baseball/Softball Players of Week
The two goals of this weekly feature are to track potential entries in the Cal-Hi Sports Online Record Book and to uncover and identify some hidden talent and diamonds in the rough for statewide recognition that might only get local kudos. While we didn’t have any performances that made the record book, we had two […]

NEW State Baseball TOP 35 Rankings
Corona stays on top despite league loss in a series it won two games to one. Previous No. 2 La Mirada, however, has to drop eight spots after losing in a league series two games to one. NorCal order (not counting Central Section in north) also gets shuffled as St. Mary’s of Stockton wins Boras...
State Stat Stars & Record Updates
We begin this week with a salute to two coaches (one baseball, one softball) who both earned their 600th win last week. Baseball’s best also includes an update on state home run season lead after Oaks Christian’s Quentin Young hit a pair of them on Wednesday, a catcher with five RBI at Oracle Park and...
State Baseball/Softball Players of Week
State record implications are there for two of the four we’re honoring this week, but considering the competition involved it was one of the other honorees who perhaps made the biggest impact. Our four winners are from Moreno Valley and Lakewood in Southern California and then it’s Livingston and Loomis for Northern California. We hope […]
