All-State Softball: Underclass
First up in our annual All-State Softball extravaganza — which is being presented for the 35th consecutive year — is the best of the best among juniors, sophomore and freshmen. Of course, those with commitments to big-time college programs can have an edge, but these teams are based mostly on what happened and who shined...

Mr. Baseball 2017: It has to be Hagen
It was a situation of competing precedents in this year’s race for the state’s longest-running State Player of the Year honor for baseball, making it one of the most difficult decisions ever in perhaps the most talent-laden season ever for Southern California. In the end, local consensus carries Hagen Danner of Huntington Beach over the […]
More Baseball State Players of Year
Chula Vista Eastlake’s Grant Holman might even surpass some of the totals next year that State Player of the Year Hagen Danner put up this year at Huntington Beach. Holman, named as this year’s State Junior of the Year, leads this year’s group of other state players of the year. He’s joined by Kyle Ashworth […]
Ms. Softball 2017: Duh, it’s Dockins
Despite a loss in the last game, there really isn’t any other way to go for this year’s winner for the state’s longest-running and perhaps most prestigious individual softball honor. Norco’s Taylor Dockins just has to be the one on so many levels, from how she’s handled all of the attention she got this season […]
More Softball Players of the Year
There were closer calls among several of the other State Player of the Year choices in softball this year than at the top, but in the end joining Ms. Softball Taylor Dockins of Norco as a statewide honoree are Megan Faraimo from San Diego Cathedral Catholic, Kinzie Hansen of Norco, Nicole May from Foothill of […]
Baseball Coach of Year: Mike Gonzales
It’s been a great few weeks for El Toro’s Mike Gonzales with a second CIF Southern Section Division I title and a third player reaching the major leagues with the debut of the Oakland A’s Matt Chapman. One of his others you might have heard of — MVP candidate Nolan Arenado of the Colorado Rockies. […]
Softball Coach of the Year: Mike Noel
We don’t often go for someone from the same CIF section for two years in a row for one of our highest honors, but decided to do it this time with Clovis High’s Mike Noel following Madera’s Judy Shaubach as State Coach of the Year in softball. Noel guided the Cougars to their second CIF […]
All-State Baseball Nominees (Part 1)
It’s hard to believe, but this will be the 36th year of Cal-Hi Sports all-state baseball teams. The first step is for us to list the names of those already on our board. It’s not meant to be all-inclusive and we know we may have missed a few players who’ve transferred or are listing someone […]
