Ms. Softball 2018: It’s Tidd by a tad
This one was one of the closest selections ever, but what happened in the last game and local consensus is the difference as Payton Tidd of San Marcos earns the state’s longest-running individual softball honor. There were five outstanding finalists this year but it basically came down to two from the CIF San Diego Section. […]
More Softball Players of the Year
If you weren’t paying attention when our Ms. Softball finalists were named, only one of the five was a junior so you should have correctly assumed that the State Junior Player of the Year was automatically going to be Norco’s Kinzie Hansen. Joining her and Ms. Softball POY Payton Tidd of San Marcos as statewide […]
State Softball Coach of the Year (2018)
You may not believe everything that Amador Valley of Pleasanton’s Teresa Mayes-Borchard has gone through over the last few months and years, but in the end her program won its third CIF North Coast Section Division I title in the last five years and her team ended as the No. 1 ranked team for Northern […]
FINAL Softball State Division Ranks
Final No. 1 teams already were announced for D1 (San Marcos), D2 (Newbury Park), D3 (West of Torrance), D4 (Sutter) and D5 (East Nicolaus). But here’s the final rankings for each of those divisions with expanded top fives for each division plus a list of teams to watch in each division for 2019 season. Teams...
FINAL Softball State Top 40
As is our custom, it takes us awhile to get out final state rankings because we do the all-state nominations first. But we try to make up for it by doing expanded lists in all divisions. The first 10 showed up on our ticker last week, but here’s the next 30 all placed in order...

Welcome to the online Cal-Hi Sports State Record Book & Almanac. This state record list is for most varsity career coaching wins in softball. These totals are for California wins only and do not include out-of-state wins. They’ve been updated through the 2024 season. Forfeit wins or losses also are not included. For more on Cal-Hi...
All-State Softball Nominees (Part 1)
It’s time to get started on what we call all-state season at Cal-Hi Sports. It’s actually the third one for each year following January for football and April for boys & girls basketball. June is baseball and softball and we begin with the list of initial nominees for the 36th annual Cal-Hi Sports all-state softball […]
SoCal/NorCal Players of the Week
For the final weekly player of the week honors of 2017-18, all four obviously had to have led their teams to CIF section titles last weekend. They all did it in different ways for CIF North Coast Section Division I, CIF Southern Section Division II, NCS D4 and Southern D4.
Mr. Baseball & Ms. Softball Finalists
On the same day that a California girl is once again named as the Gatorade National Player of the Year in softball, we are equally proud to announce five finalists for the Ms. Softball State Player of the Year honor, which sometimes goes along with Gatorade and sometimes it doesn’t. We also are narrowing it […]
San Marcos State Team of Year
For only the third time since 1980 and only the fourth time ever, a CIF San Diego Section team lands first in California softball. It essentially took two separate San Diego schools to make that happen, but despite Norco winning its final two CIF Southern Section Division I games by lopsided margins it has to […]
