Boys BB: Open-D1 State Predictions
It’s too hard to choose against the SoCal teams once again in this year’s top two games of the CIF State Basketball Championships, which will be held this weekend at Golden 1 Center in downtown Sacramento. But there are unknowns. Bishop Montgomery didn’t exactly light the gym on fire when it opened the season in […]

It will be No. 1 Bishop Montgomery vs. No. 4 Woodcreek in Saturday’s Open Division state final to see which school will win its first Open state crown. The only other state final that will match two ranked teams will be in Division I with No. 8 Roosevelt of Eastvale taking on new No. 20...

NEW Boys BB State Top 20 Rankings
Long Beach Poly is this week’s only newcomer and goes in at No. 14 after upset win over previous No. 7 in CIF Southern Section Open Division playoffs. By Friday, if no upsets, it should be No. 1 Sierra Canyon vs. No. 3 Bishop Montomgery and No. 2 Chino Hills vs. No. 4 Mater Dei...
Super 8 Boys BB State Ranks Update
There are no changes at the top of this week’s rankings, but there’s even more buzz surrounding No. 1 Sierra Canyon as it prepares to play in two huge showcase events over the MLK weekend.
