All three of this week’s newcomers had to go in according to our system for beating higher ranked teams and two of those teams are still inside the top 50. That means it’s Mira Costa of Manhattan Beach, St. Ignatius of San Francisco and Buchanan of Clovis who get the nod. Those already ranked getting...

Preseason All-CCS Football Team
Our next to last stop in our series of preseason all-section or all-area football teams covers the CIF Central Coast Section. It’s been the home of the top NorCal team for 2021, 2022 & 2023 from Serra (San Mateo). The Padres lost a tremendous senior class, which is shown by more players on this team...
NEW Baseball State TOP 35 Rankings
This week’s rankings were delayed several hours to include all of the reported opt-outs from the CIF Southern Section regarding next week’s CIF Southern California regional playoffs. State No. 1 Corona is the main one, but after Saturday night’s win over Harvard-Westlake in the CIFSS D1 final there isn’t much else left that the Panthers...
FINAL Girls BB State TOP 40 Rankings
For these final expanded rankings we obviously had a change at the top with Etiwanda defeating Archbishop Mitty for the CIF Open Division state championship, but after that only nine of the next 23 teams in the Top 25 held onto the same spot they had in the last rankings. Seven of the next 10...

Many of these honorees represented the second and sometimes third top player from teams that were in the top 10 of the final state...
NEW Boys BB State TOP 25 Rankings
Tuesday’s regional finals are set and once again it will be a No. 1 vs. No. 2 in the state matchup when Centennial hosts Sierra Canyon for the SoCal open championship. No, the NorCal open title game is not No. 3 vs. No. 4, but both Campolindo and Modesto Christian are confident after big regional...
NEW Girls BB State TOP 25 Rankings
This is the week we vent our distaste for the current situation in some section playoffs that shouldn’t be doing Open Divisions, but after this week the routs will be behind us for the most part as the teams that are supposed to be in the top divisions of CIF Southern and Northern Regional playoffs...
State Stat Stars of the Week
This feature serves as our statewide collection of milestone achievements in California high school sports. We missed last week due to all of our end-of-season coverage for football, but here’s a double-dose of boys and girls basketball players who have been piling up buckets. For girls, we have a senior guard from San Diego with...
