NEW Softball State Top 20
There was even less movement in this week’s rankings than last week when only one new team cracked the Top 20. This time, there are no new teams. Of the two teams that did lose, both did it to higher-ranked opponents. With most CIF section playoffs beginning this week, there may not be a long...
Super 8 Softball Rankings Update
The only change in this group is Mission Viejo going up to No. 8 as a replacement for previous No. 8 Rio Mesa of Oxnard. The big news of the week is just that No. 1 Norco was behind after an inning for the first time all season and responded strongly. NOTE: Our updated State...

Others lighting up scorebooks include Johnny McWilliams of San Marcos and Junior Ballard of Lathrop for boys plus Janelle Sumilong of Hanford and […]
2014-15 All-State Grid Hoopers
We honor 15 as the state’s best football-basketball combo athletes on our annual Cal-Hi Sports Grid-Hoop All-State team. We have even more listed as Grid-Hoop athletes of distinction and some of these players are sure to be on our state athlete of the year lists at the conclusion of the school year.
Upset Alerts Across The State
The best bets could be El Segundo in the south and Sac High in the north. We also are going with four in this week’s edition and another of them we guarantee will make a few in the CIF chuckle.
