Congratulations to all of the 2024-25 Cal-Hi Sports State Coaches of the year for girls basketball. These are the ones for each of the five state divisions. As we’ve also done since the advent of the Open Division with as few as 11 teams, we combine Open and Division I so there is just one […]

Mr. Baseball 2018: Joe Magrisi

NorCal/SoCal Players of the Week
Three of our honorees this week are done after sparking their teams to section titles, including two of them who will be in the Pac-12 Conference next year. We couldn’t pick someone from SoCal baseball who is done for the year, but did go with a top pitcher from the CIF L.A. City Section who […]
