Boys BB: Divisional All-State 2023
The 44th annual Cal-Hi Sports all-state boys basketball teams roll on with the release of these honor squads according to the same six divisions in which this year’s CIF state championships were completed.

State’s All-Time NFL 1st Rd Draft Picks
After this year’s 2023 NFL Draft, we have updated this all-time list. California QBs went No. 1 and No. 2 in the first round for the first time, but as this list shows it did happen with an RB and a lineman in 1969. It might surprise some that the NFL Draft has been going...

The accomplishment puts her in a group with some of the best players in women’s hoops history, especially […]
