It will be No. 1 St. John Bosco vs. No. 3 De La Salle in this week’s CIF Open Division state championship. And going by this week’s rankings, it also will be No. 7 Central of Fresno vs. No. 9 Sierra Canyon and No. 8 Corona del Mar vs. No. 10 San Mateo Serra in...
We tried to get all of this weekend CIF D2-AA and D2-A state finalists into these rankings, but couldn’t quite make it thanks to Oxnard (now No. 50) having a head-to-head win over Pacifica of Oxnard (which would be No. 51 if we counted it that far). In addition to Oxnard, two other newcomers this...
There is some shake-up at the top, as state preseason boys hoops No. 3 Rancho Christian and No. 4 Etiwanda have already lost. There also are some teams that will eventually be ranked higher than a team it lost to in an early-season game and that is reflected in our first regular season ratings. We...
Corona del Mar and San Mateo Serra both win in D1-A, as expected, but it wasn’t easy for either one. McClymonds of Oakland also keeps alive its quest for a fourth straight state title while the other big news was the CIF North Coast Section ending 6-0 on the weekend. All seven NCS champions will […]
Sierra Canyon impresses in SoCal D1-AA contest against Helix in matchup of top 10 state teams. The NorCal D1-AA matchup was much closer as state top 10 Central of Fresno needed a clutch fourth-down stop to hang on. We also had a battle of No. 1 and No. 2 in state small schools in which […]
From the state record book in this post, we have updates for boys basketball coaching wins, quarterbacks in football with 10,000 career passing yards, Corona del Mar’s quest for dual record holders and consecutive PATs made by a kicker. Go inside as well for a look at California’s State Stat Stars for the last two […]
San Joaquin Memorial of Fresno goes to the top for medium schools and is the only medium school above 2-AA in the CIF regional bowl games. We also have three new teams in medium this week — Temecula Valley, Manteca and Oceanside El Camino. For the small schools, Sutter remains in the No. 1 position...
Even though we only had CIF section title games to choose from, our final edition with football players for this feature this season still has some memorable performances we’re honoring. This week’s winners are from Anaheim, Oceanside and Fullerton in Southern California and Milpitas, Ripon and Santa Rosa in Northern California. We hope you enjoy […]
There’s a new No. 1 of course with St. John Bosco taking over for Mater Dei after last Saturday’s pulsating win over the Monarchs in the CIF Southern Section Division I championship. Others on the rise include Serra of San Mateo and Oak Ridge of El Dorado Hills, but we’re not going to go along...
Wins by San Juan Hills (San Juan Capistrano) and Aquinas (San Bernardino) in CIF Southern Section finals actually caused a lot of changes in this week’s rankings. Not only did those two have to come in as newcomers, but so did some others. The list of six leads off with a team that beat San...
