State Stat Stars of the Week
It’s another week with the best single-game totals from football, baseball and softball. We’ll be adding basketball (boys & girls) once football starts to wind down. Football’s best includes more from Kimball of Tracy’s 62-56 win over Patterson (this time focusing on Patterson’s running back) plus Malachi Nelson’s 13-for-13 passing for more than 300 yards...
1ST LOOK: Five-Division FB Rankings
With no upcoming playoffs to consider and limited games, it’s super-hard to do rankings in this same five-division format that was begun more than 40 years ago by Cal-Hi Sports founder Nelson Tennis. But it was super-hard for all of the players and coaches to be able to play at all during this school year […]
SoCal/NorCal Players of the Week
For week four of our NorCal/SoCal Players of the week we start out in the east end of the San Gabriel valley in Pomona and then head further east to the Inland Empire city of Moreno Valley, conclude our SoCal journey by heading north to Lompoc, and then hit Tracy and Cupertino before heading to […]
NEW State TOP 50 FB Ranks (1-25)
What to do in the aftermath of Norco’s win from last Saturday over previous No. 6 Corona Centennial? Should a team like the Cougars jump all the way up into this week’s rankings from the bubble and where should the Huskies drop? We say yes and put the two of them in the No. 15...
NEW State TOP 50 FB Ranks (26-50)
Two teams that will be trying to knock off higher ranked opponents this week — new No. 34 Chaminade of West Hills and new No. 40 Vista Murrieta of Murrieta — get the biggest bumps among those featured in this group. We also have to welcome three other newcomers besides Norco — Otay Ranch of...
State FB TOP 25 Weekend Scoreboard
For the next few weeks, we’ll treat Friday and Saturday nights like we do for the fall with the compilation of a weekend scoreboard involving the state’s top-ranked teams. Saturday was the bigger day and night of this weekend with a big upset in Riverside County and a win by No. 2 Mater Dei over […]
State Stat Stars of the Week
Most this week once again are from football, but there are plenty from baseball and softball (with basketball players waiting in the wings). Football’s best include a 400-yard outing from Santa Margarita QB Colt Fulton, a great first game for the new running back star at Edison of Stockton (replacing the one who is now...
NorCal/SoCal Players of the Week
For week three of our NorCal/SoCal Players of the Week honors for this very different spring season, we re-visit the Sacramento area and land in Folsom, head to the Bay Area and stop in San Francisco, head south and hit the Central Valley town of Corcoran, then continue south to the High Desert city of […]
NEW State TOP 50 FB Ranks (1-25)
De La Salle and Servite flip-flop at No. 3 and No. 4, but there are no other changes in the top 10 even though both Cathedral Catholic and Sierra Canyon deserve to go up. This week’s two major movers are Rocklin from the CIF Sac-Joaquin Section and Buchanan from the CIF Central Section. Nice bumps...
NEW State TOP 50 FB Ranks (26-50)
It’s always great when a team we think is going to be good finally gets to play in this strange spring season and does well. Congrats this week to No. 32 Liberty (Bakersfield) and good luck we hope to No. 40 Cosumnes Oaks (Elk Grove). Carlsbad also makes a huge move among this group from...
