State Stat Stars of the Week
Jarod Lucas’ chase for the CIF Southern Section (and fourth spot in state history) career scoring record continued on Tuesday night, but there was additional attention among prep basketball scribes in Southern California directed toward Joel Pastrana from small school Calvary Baptist of La Verne, who set a reported state record by making 23 three-pointers...
NorCal/SoCal Players of the Week
Jazlen “Jazzy” Green gets into groove for 39 points and goes nice and smooth with 16 of 16 on free throws in an effort for Lakeside of Lake Elsinore that helps her collect SoCal Player of the Week selection. This week’s other players getting the nod are from Ripon, Palo Alto and San Diego. We […]
Fantag Games of the Week No. 5
As the regular season draws to a close, there will be two more sets of games to feature for fans around the CIF Sac-Joaquin Section to get introduced to the Fantag app. We’re looking for outstanding teams and players we’ve yet to check out and this week it will be the Pioneer Valley League for […]
NEW Boys BB State Top 20 Rankings
Our new boys hoops rankings are done at the usual time after a short week due to the Monday MLK holiday from the previous week. Despite that, there is plenty of movement, especially as a result of the Nike Extravaganza at Mater Dei of Santa Ana. Two new teams join the fray this week that...
SoCal/NorCal Players of the Week
For the first time in this honors’ program history, we’ve chosen two players from great games played on a Saturday who then had their teams play against each other on a Monday. That can only happen on MLK weekend. For the boys, we were more normal going with hair-raising scoring outputs from players representing regions […]
Fantag Games of the Week No. 4
It can be argued that the Folsom boys and Bear Creek girls of Stockton should be considered the top-ranked teams in the CIF Sac-Joaquin Section heading into the fourth weekend of January. Both teams will be featured in our next group of contests as Cal-Hi Sports Fantag Games of the Week. The first game this […]
NEW Boys BB State Top 20 Rankings
Our new boys hoops rankings see our top two ranked teams lose in MLK Day showcase games in Massachusetts in back-to-back games, but it doesn’t impact the top of the state pecking order. Other weekend showcase results from around the state do change things and we have three newcomers in our special edition MLK rankings,...
Salesian holds on to NorCal summit
Is it too early to start thinking about being the No. 1 seed for this year’s CIF Northern California Open Division boys basketball playoffs? When a team is unbeaten, ranked nationally and No. 5 overall in the state, maybe not. Salesian of Richmond is that team and the Pride closed out the headline game of […]
State Stat Stars of the Week
We’ve got all of the details this week on Jarod Lucas of Los Altos (Hacienda Heights) joining the 3,000-point club for career scoring. We have all of them correct too, since we’ve been doing state records for 40 years. Lucas wasn’t the only big-time California player to have a big week. San Joaquin Memorial’s Jalen...
NorCal/SoCal Players of the Week
To the Victor go the spoils and this week that means our NorCal Boys Player of the Week is Dailen Victor from Chavez of Stockton, who has 43 and 47 points in back-to-back games. We also honor a 2,000-point career scorer from San Diego and two girls, one from Brentwood the other from Simi Valley, […]
