It wasn’t as easy for Mater Dei, but the No. 1 Monarchs and No. 2 St. John Bosco both won on Friday and can now fully focus on playing each other next Friday in Santa Ana. The other big news around the state sees No. 1 rankings shift in the CIF Central Section & CIF […]

State Stat Stars of the Week
This feature serves as our statewide collection of milestone achievements in California high school sports. We begin in the Ventura County town of Fillmore where QB Anthony Tafoya made history in a game in which he could have easily done even more.

SoCal/NorCal Players of the Week
This week we don’t have any entries for the Cal-Hi Sports online record book, which is one of the things we track for this feature, but we did find some hidden talent from honorees that don’t often get a statewide spotlight, and that’s a second aspect of these weekly honors. Our stops this week are […]

NEW State TOP 50 FB Rankings (26-50)

NorCal/SoCal Players of the Week
This week we visit a couple of state-ranked teams, one of which has some big-time stars, but those players were not the ones honored. We also uncovered some diamonds in the rough, plus one from a well-known family in the Bay Area. Our stops are in Brentwood, Woodlake and El Dorado Hills in Northern California, […]
