NEW Girls BB State TOP 25 Rankings
With some of the early season tournaments and showcase events completed, and with our preseason No. 1 team losing to No. 2, it made sense to do the first regular season state rankings heading into the December tournaments. The first nine spots got a shakeup and there was more movement near the bottom with four...

We have a defensive honoree from Novato who will face the special teams winner from Sutter this week, and who also is in a race with the this week’s offensive award winner from Santa Clara for the NorCal rushing lead. Our Southern California stops […]
