This feature serves as our statewide collection of milestone achievements in California high school sports. More than lists and numbers, we can provide historical context since we’ve maintained state records in California for more than 40 years. This week we have a mix of boys & girls hoops with the first writeups of the spring for baseball & softball. Two other coaches besides Mater Dei girls hoops coach Kevin Kiernan had milestone wins this week. Alijah Arenas & Mario Williams among those listed for boys hoops. For softball, we have updates on Dani Jackman, Kamren Vasquez and Mackenzie Butt. For baseball, it’s first writeups for Adrian Hernandez, Tanner Bradley and Bowen Salyards plus more.
