Senior Salutes No. 2 (Baseball/Softball)
As a consequence of the 2020 high school baseball and softball seasons being canceled after not even one-third of scheduled games were played in the state, we cannot produce all-state teams in those sports for 2020.

Game MVP Jordan Porter and Defensive MVP Gabriel Cordero were teammates last season at Turlock and teamed up again on Saturday night to lead the South to a 24-2 triumph over the North in the 45th annual Lions All-Star Football Game held in Tracy.

Standing Out Among All-Stars

It’s still a step up from traditional high school games and that does allow some players to rise up within that group and then start to think about a future playing at a four-year college either in two […]
