The release of the 41st annual Cal-Hi Sports All-State Softball Teams is now underway. We begin with a new way of doing the all-state underclass teams and that’s doing the juniors and sophomores separately (just like football and basketball).

SoCal/NorCal Players of the Week
Over the years that we’ve been doing this feature, our final week of each school year has always been at the conclusion of the baseball/softball section playoffs, and that is this week.

More Softball Players of the Year
If these honors were decided after the regular season (like the NFL, NBA & MLB), then every single one of the winners would be different.

Girls BB: Trousdale Joins 700 Club
Poway girls basketball coach Jay Trousdale has become just the sixth coach to reach 700 career wins. When that happened depends on whether forfeit wins are counted, but it’s definitely happened since his team this year has started 6-0 and he only needed three wins this season (with forfeits not counted) for the magic number.
