CIFSS Girls: Was it an upset or not?
Underdog Sierra Canyon gets an epic outing from All-American Jerzy Robinson to topple state No. 1 and national No. 2 Ontario Christian in the CIF Southern Section Open Division final on Saturday night in Ontario. New Cal-Hi Sports State TOP 30 rankings will be out on Monday night or Tuesday morning and are likely to […]
CCS Teams Wrap Up NorCal Top Seeds?
The Archbishop Riordan boys and the Archbishop Mitty girls both won, as expected, in a CIF Central Coast Section Open Division doubleheader played on Friday at USF. It’s a third straight section title for the Crusaders and it’s five in a row for the Monarchs. We have a lot more history set for the Mitty […]
State Stat Stars & Record Updates
We begin with a salute to the state’s third boys player this season who recently reached 3,000 career points. We also feature two boys who went past 2,000 points for their career plus a sophomore with a big outing in a win over an opponent led by our state’s only 4,000-point scorer. For the girls,...
State Basketball Players of the Week
At this stage of the season, we like to talk about the funnel narrowing when it comes to the Players of the Week features and rankings.

This week’s best are from Modesto and Salinas in Northern California while for Southern California we hit San Diego and Rowland Heights. We hope […]
State Stat Stars & Record Updates
We start with a look at girls hoops league title streaks as Clovis West’s 20-year streak in the the CIF Central Section came to an end earlier this week. See which other ones on the all-time state list extended this season and which other one also was done this season. We also have a new...
State Basketball Players of the Week
When it gets to this point in the basketball season, the CIF Southern Section still has 300 teams in action in its playoffs. The Southern California honorees likely will be coming from those playoff-bound teams, and that is the case with both our SoCal honorees. Also, with the funnel beginning to narrow for the rest […]
NEW Girls BB State TOP 30 Rankings
We start out this week with an intro to the CIF Southern Section Open Division playoffs, which will be 12 teams this season. Two of the 12 will be done for the season when the section playoffs are done even though those two teams will be vastly superior to many other teams moving on to...
