Baseball Preseason State TOP 35
We have 45 years of final baseball state rankings in our archives and we’re beginning the 46th season with a similar theme as the 45th. That’s with a very strong favorite at the top of the state. The team that was in that spot last year, though, wasn’t No. 1 at the end. Can St. […]
Ontario Chr leads in 1st Girls BB Ranks
We know another group has ranked Archbishop Mitty No. 1 in the nation, but we’re going to be more cautious with the return of All-American McKenna Wolitczko from injury and we think the Monarchs should be behind Etiwanda to start as well. Ontario Christian should have its big two of Kaleena Smith & Tati Griffin […]
Preseason Boys BB Ranks (1-15)
It’s time to launch our winter basketball content on CalHiSports.com and we’ll do it with our preseason boys basketball state rankings. There are three big questions heading into the 2025-26 season, one being how good Sherman Oaks Notre Dame will be without Tyran Stokes? The second is how many spots did that team deserve to […]
Preseason Boys BB Ranks (16-40)
Here’s the rest of our look at the preseason Top 40 of the best boys teams from across the state. This group is led by CIF Sac Joaquin Section favorite and No. 16 Folsom and includes the rest of these teams down to No. 40 Clovis North plus a list of 15 more teams that […]
Our Take: Woliczko chooses Iowa
In case you missed the news from early last week, Archbishop Mitty of San Jose 6-foot-2 senior wing McKenna Woliczko has committed to the University of Iowa. The big-time national recruit coming off of an ACL knee injury from last January that caused her to miss the rest of the season. While our report isn’t […]
Preseason All-CIF Northern Section
We have now completed another tour of the state to start a high school football season in California and end with the far north section of the CIF. Several teams have already played season openers and there was a big one that indicates defending D2 champion Pleasant Valley of Chico is going to be elite...
Preseason Ventura/San Fernando Valley
Our next to last stop on our tour of the state through preseason individual honor teams is for the San Fernando Valley/Ventura County area with a couple of players from Santa Barbara County included. This also wraps all five regions that we break it up for in the massive CIF Southern Section. Sierra Canyon continues...
Preseason Redwood Empire FB Team
Since the CIF North Coast Section (both East Bay & Redwood Empire portions) still haven’t played any games yet as this feature was being finalized, the preseason label still fits. We begin with an intro to the new head coach at Cardinal Newman of Santa Rosa and then it’s a lineup of players led by...
Preseason San Gabriel Valley FB Team
We were not able to get three of our preseason all-area/all-section football teams completed in time before the start of the season in those places. One of them was this one within the CIF Southern Section. And in the first game, the top running back from the San Gabriel Valley had to go to the...
Preseason All-NCS East Bay FB Team
Concord De La Salle starts the season after stretching its streak of consecutive CIF section titles to 33 years, but there have been some close calls the past two seasons. The Spartans have 15 returning starters this year with many of them honored on this team. Pittsburg had a super group of seniors move on,...
