Different MD win vs Bosco for title
It wasn’t close to the 59-14 triumph from earlier this season, but national/state No. 1 Mater Dei of Santa Ana tops state No. 2 St. John Bosco of Bellflower, 31-24, to win its second straight CIF Southern Section D1 championship. They will now go into the CIF Open Division state final in two weeks to […]
SJS Football Title Game Recaps
Friday’s CIF Sac-Joaquin Section football championships at Hughes Stadium in Sacramento saw one team come up short in trying to get to 13-0, another team succeed in doing that quite easily and finally a thriller in which the winning team three-peated as a section champion. Note: We won’t be able to duplicate these recaps for […]
Ontario Christian tops Etiwanda
Preseason state No. 4 Knights take down No. 1 Etiwanda, 74-66, on Saturday night in Studio City to win Harvard-Westlake Invitational. First slate of games shows just how much of an impact incoming freshman Sydney “Bean” Douglas is going to have this season, especially paired with scoring phenom Kaleena Smith. We also had a big […]
What We Saw: De La Salle vs Pitt
The Pirates took a 7-3 lead into the fourth quarter, but came out on the short end of a 10-7 loss to De La Salle of Concord in Friday’s CIF North Coast Section Open Division championship. The Spartans (12-0) no doubt clinched the Northern California berth in the CIF Open Division state final to be […]
Public School No. 1 Decided?
Friday night’s matchup in the CIF Southern Section D1 quarterfinals between No. 4 seed Mission Viejo and No. 5 Corona Centennial was called a Public School Super Bowl by many in the Southern California media. But did Centennial’s 25-20 triumph over the Diablos wrap up another State Public School of the Year selection for the […]

We hope you enjoy this free story on Cal-Hi […]
Tough Night For Being 10-0
We were not able to get out to a Friday night game this week, and with many of the state’s top-ranked teams on first round section playoff byes, our focus became the plight of teams that were 10-0 in the regular season that did play in the CIF Southern Section, CIF L.A. City Section and...
What We Saw: Clovis East-Clovis North
Based on its 38-21 victory on Friday at Lamonica Stadium over defending CIF Central Section D1 champion Clovis North, thoughts of Clovis East doing the same for 2024 — including going 13-0 through the section playoffs — were impossible not to arise. The Timberwolves displayed a very effective short passing spread offense that could not […]
Flag Special: OLu Wins In Playoffs
We don’t have the resources to cover girls flag football like we do the five main sports we cover for this web site, but we will do some feature stories and welcome any suggestions for how it can be done. On Saturday, our main girls basketball editor was in Orange County and offered to go […]
What We Saw: MD Romps Past Bosco
Paced by the most disruptive front seven on defense that perhaps no high school team has ever had and an offense that has been getting more dynamic every week since the start of the season, state and national No. 1 Mater Dei of Santa Ana turned its annual regular season showdown game against No. 2 […]
