Preseason All-CCS Football Team
It’s a parade of Archbishop Riordan players on this squad (especially on offense), but St. Francis of Mountain View has the most on defense.

NEW State Softball TOP 25 Rankings
With just one week to go, the No. 1 ranking is locked up by virtue of Norco winning the CIF Southern Section D1 championship. Opting out of this week’s regionals doesn’t make a difference. The rest of the order, however, is up for grabs with no major opt outs in the north. Will it be...
