More State Girls Athletes of the Year
When you go through all of the various sports in which girls from California high schools are all among the best in the nation and in some cases best in the world, there really is no place like it. This year’s choices to lead the juniors, sophomores, freshmen and those from each of five competitive […]
Keilani Ricketts’ Ms. Softball Writeup (2009)
The San Jose Archbishop Mitty graduate had one of the most memorable seasons for a softball player in California and has been a member of the US National Team for several years. She also led Oklahoma to an NCAA title. Here’s what we wrote about Keilani after her senior year with the Monarchs. (Editor’s note: […]
Mike Moustakas’ Mr. Baseball Writeup (2007)
With the Milwaukee Brewers’ Mike Moustakas in the midst of an all-star season and already with one World Series ring as a member of the Kansas City Royals, we thought it would be a good time to present the 2007 Mr. Baseball State Player of the Year writeup that we did about him after his […]
Mr. Baseball 2019: Keoni Cavaco

We did have one for medium schools, however, since one of our six Ms. Softball finalists was from that category. […]
Ms. Softball & Mr. Baseball Finalists
Showing how difficult the choice may be for Ms. Softball State Player of the Year in 2019, two of the six selected as finalists are from the same team (state No. 1 Norco). It’s not going to be a breeze for Mr. Baseball State Player of the Year, either. Two juniors are among a group […]
Ms. Basketball 2019: Hooray for Haley
It’s almost with a sense of relief we are able to announce this year’s Ms. Basketball for California is Haley Jones from Archbishop Mitty of San Jose. She’s without question one of the best players in Northern California history so if for various reasons — including an official’s controversial call or two — she hadn’t […]
