With the multitude of transfers changing the landscape, it took a lot of digging once we got past the first few teams but one thing that didn’t change from the final expanded rankings after last season was the top three teams: Windward of Los Angeles, Archbishop Mitty of San Jose and Pinewood of Los Altos […]
There ended up being 10 new teams that were not this high in the state rankings at the finish of the 2017-18 season. The CIF San Diego Section snagged four of the spots taken by newcomers. We don’t have a bubble list with this set of preseason rankings, but trust us that a lot of […]
With NorCal games getting postponed once again with very unhealthy air, there were games from the CIF Central Section south all the way to San Diego on Friday night. On Saturday, however, the CIF Central Coast Section playoffs (including state No. 10 St. Francis of Mountain View) were able to be played at locations out […]
We have all of the state and local record updates for season-long leaders Jayden Daniels (Cajon) and John Humphreys (Corona del Mar) in this post plus more info from Rio Linda’s 77-63 win in last week’s CIF Sac-Joaquin Section D4 playoffs that looks like would rank as the highest-scoring for two teams in a playoff...

There were some tough choices to make this week right at the end, but teams getting the nod that weren’t in there last week are St. Mary’s of Stockton, Camarillo and Helix of La Mesa. Two teams in this group also were given solid upward bumps — new No. 33 Notre Dame of Sherman Oaks...
