For our second week of honoring baseball and softball players this season, we don’t have any records to track for the Cal-Hi Sports Online Record Book, which is one of the purposes of this feature.

State Basketball Players of the Week

Baseball: State Ranks By Divisions
We can now do these rankings by division only twice each season because we have no idea what divisions teams are going to placed until the Sunday before CIF regional playoffs and then each team plays three times in five days. Final rankings will be done later next week and we’ll have more time to […]

Boys BB: 2021 Preseason Primer
The boys basketball season in California is now getting underway, thanks to a lawsuit that made protocols for indoor sports feasible with restrictions a bit tougher than outdoor sports. We’re glad there is a season, but it will still be fragmented with NorCal sections already cancelling post-seasons and for the second straight year, no CIF […]
All-Decade Softball: All-State Team
Vista Murrieta ends up being the only school with three first team players for the decade with two of those from the same family. Selecting this team also shows how great California was in the 2015 season and it was a challenge to try to get as many members of the just-named 2020 U.S. Olympic...
