State Top 25 Weekend Scoreboard
If next week’s showdown between No. 3 De La Salle and No. 4 Folsom is similar to Friday’s victory by No. 6 Cathedral Catholic of San Diego over No. 5 Corona Centennial, then we’re in for a wild ride. Friday night also was great for the Serra schools with No. 14 Serra of Gardena knocking […]
NorCal/SoCal Players of the Week
As was the case for our first set of award winners last week we have more than one honoree who could have been classified as Multi-Purpose, but we don’t have that category for this feature so the players that shined in more ways than one had to find their spots and did. This week’s winners […]

Still, they may have to play league rival Santa Margarita three more times this season and it wouldn’t surprise anyone to see them […]
State Athlete of Year: Javelin Guidry
For the second straight year, Vista Murrieta can claim the State Boys Athlete of the Year.

For the […]
