NEW Softball State Division Ranks
For this week, we are doing the next-to-last divisional state rankings in softball BEFORE the Tuesday section playoff games and will be doing baseball AFTER those contests. There just aren’t that many games left in softball compared to baseball with all sections done except the Southern and North Coast. Top-ranked teams entering the final week...
NEW Softball State Top 20
Loss by previous No. 2 Gahr not only screws up the CIF Southern Section Division I seedings, but also drops down the Gladiators in this week’s State Top 20. The other big move was to elevate Foothill of Pleasanton back up to No. 11 after it beat previous No. 11 Amador Valley behind ace pitcher...
NEW Softball State Top 20
There’s some upheaval in Orange County with Huntington Beach breaking through with a big win last week over previous No. 2 Los Alamitos plus Mater Dei getting a surprisingly lopsided 11-1 romp on Monday over previous No. 4 Orange Lutheran. The results cause some changes and we’re pretty sure we know which school’s fans aren’t...

NorCal/SoCal Players of the Week
Collecting an MVP award from the Open Division in one of the state’s top baseball tournaments each year also gets SoCal Player of the Week recognition for San Marcos standout Zack Prajzner.

NEW Softball State Top 20
Bad weather and spring break contributed to a lack of games and not much movement in this week’s State Top 20. Look for the first 10 teams to go on our ticker beginning Monday and for more changes next week as make-up games are coming. Unbeaten Santa Margarita getting a bump and Poway getting uplifted...
Girls BB: Division State Ranks (2nd)
Serra of Gardena replaces league rival Bishop Montgomery in the No. 1 position for Division I teams entering Tuesday’s regional semifinals. Still No. 1 are Redondo Union of Redondo Beach (D2), West Campus of Sacramento (D3), Brentwood of Los Angeles (D4) and Sierra Pacific of Hanford (D5). Highest newcomers would be Sacred Heart Prep of...
Softball: Preseason State Top 25
Adding a transfer into the pitching circle is all Norco needed for another legitimate run at state and national titles. The Cougars have almost everyone else back from last season’s 33-1 squad. This year’s preseason rankings also have three CIF San Diego Section teams in the top 10, two rivals from the same city in […]
