More Baseball Players of the Year
Both Dawson Netz of Pasadena Maranatha and Tyson Heaton of Yucaipa were strongly considered for two separate honors. We don’t have ties or co-players of the year so we did the next best thing. We picked them both. Netz is netting State Junior of the Year recognition while Heaton is gaining the State Medium Schools […]
Ms. Softball 2018: It’s Tidd by a tad
This one was one of the closest selections ever, but what happened in the last game and local consensus is the difference as Payton Tidd of San Marcos earns the state’s longest-running individual softball honor. There were five outstanding finalists this year but it basically came down to two from the CIF San Diego Section. […]
More Softball Players of the Year
If you weren’t paying attention when our Ms. Softball finalists were named, only one of the five was a junior so you should have correctly assumed that the State Junior Player of the Year was automatically going to be Norco’s Kinzie Hansen.

Mr. Baseball & Ms. Softball Finalists
On the same day that a California girl is once again named as the Gatorade National Player of the Year in softball, we are equally proud to announce five finalists for the Ms. Softball State Player of the Year honor, which sometimes goes along with Gatorade and sometimes it doesn’t. We also are narrowing it […]
