Top 15 Final Four Greats from California
There hasn’t been a Final Four Most Outstanding Player since 1997 and there isn’t going to be one this weekend either with Duke, Florida, Houston and Auburn in it. Obviously with the dominance in the past of teams from UCLA, USF and with California players who’ve shined at other places, however, there is still a...
State Stat Stars & Record Updates
It’s a wide range of emerging and senior standouts who had huge totals in recent games. In softball, Auburn recruit Delaney Aumua had three homers in one game while freshman Jiannah Freitas of Tulare had four homers in three games. In baseball, Jackson Balden of Bakersfield Legacy Christian has 20 strikeouts in a perfect game,...
NEW State Softball TOP 25 Rankings
Norco moves back to the No. 1 ranking with dominance in almost every game this season except one. Oak Ridge of El Dorado Hills and St. Francis of Mountain View, meanwhile, are keeping Northern California near the top of the state. Highest ranked newcomers are Mater Dei Catholic of Chula Vista, El Segundo and Clovis...
FINAL Girls BB State TOP 40 Rankings
We can’t argue with the fact that our rankings are not totally in line with some state and national rankings. However, the one thing we have in our favor is in traversing up and down the state in the past five months, and covering dozens of teams and games, we have personally seen the first...
Girls BB: FINAL Division State Ranks
As many coaches love to say, it’s the final rankings that only matter. Here they are for each CIF state championship division. The state champion is first in each division, but the final No. 2 team could be a team from the same league (which happened in one of the divisions this year). Others getting...
NEW State Baseball TOP 35 Rankings
It’s only been four more days of games since the first regular season rankings of this season, but there’s still plenty of changes this week. Almost as quickly as the previous rankings came out, the losses by ranked teams began, including previous No. 3 Santa Margarita. It’s all okay, though, as that’s the way most...
FINAL Boys BB State TOP 40 Rankings
As is another of our traditions, we present our expanded, final State TOP 40 overall boys basketball team rankings for the 2024-25 season. There is some movement from our previous weekly Top 30 update, as Stockton Lincoln’s performance in the CIF D1 state title game against No. 7 Sierra Canyon causes NorCal teams to jump...
Boys BB: FINAL Division State Ranks
All of the CIF state champions crowned last weekend in Sacramento are in the final No. 1 positions, but the runner-up is often not always going to be placed at No. 2. More adjustments also are made with teams from NorCal or SoCal going up or going down depending on what happened in the various...
NEW State Baseball TOP 35
It’s been an insane start for the No. 1 Corona baseball team. The big accomplishment so far for any of the six teams that the Panthers have played is scoring a run and that has only happened once compared to five shutouts (including one on Tuesday). There has been a lot of changes since the...
NEW State Softball TOP 25
There’s much upheaval from the preseason as a lot of top teams from 2024 have not done well to start 2025. The new No. 1 is El Modena of Orange due to its championship two weekends ago at the Dave Kops TOC in Arizona, but good lord do the Vanguards have a tough schedule. They...
