NEW Softball State Top 20
Previous No. 17 Corona Santiago is the first ranked team to suffer a season-ending loss in a section playoff. The Sharks, though, are in the CIF Southern Section Division I bracket and won’t be the last team to experience those feelings. The top six teams from last week stay the same with traditional powerhouse Pacifica...
State Stat Stars Of The Week
It’s a wrap on the great career of Redding Shasta’s Mia Camuso, who makes the state record book in a multitude of career hitting categories. Other softballers on this week’s honor role include a pitcher from Union Mine, Beth Hammer, who had three straight no-hitters. For baseball, Huntington Beach’s big-time duo of Hagen Danner and […]
State Division Softball Rankings
As the various playoffs get going across the state – or are about to end in the CIF Northern Section and for small schools in the Sac-Joaquin – here’s a look at those teams that have the best chances to finish high in the Cal-Hi Sports five-division state rankings.

SoCal/NorCal Players of the Week
Promising sophomore Kendall Burnett of San Diego Francis Parker notches second straight no-hitter to earn top honors for SoCal baseball. This week’s other honorees are from Charter Oak (West Covina), Sutter and Mission Oak (Tulare). One of them used to be a bull rider in rodeos.
NorCal/SoCal Players of the Week

This week’s other players of the […]

Los Alamitos climbs back to No. 2 behind No. 1 Orange Lutheran while Amador Valley joins the top five. The only new team is defending CIF Central...
State Stat Stars Of The Week
Going up against Wonderful College Prep Academy or Realm Charter pays off for two of our softball honor roll members as they each went 5-for-5 with seven RBI. It usually doesn’t produce a stat star-worthy outing when facing a foe that was No. 1 in the state from the previous season, but it did for […]
SoCal/NorCal Players of the Week
Glendale’s Sammy Fabian extends hitting streak to 60 games with two monster outings and gains this week’s top honor for SoCal softball. This week’s NorCal softball choice also is for a hitter (she’s from Sacramento) but our two baseball players of the week (one from Irvine and the other from Tulare) got it done on […]
NEW Softball State Top 20
One swing of the bat reverses the No. 1 and No. 2 order at the top of this week’s rankings with Orange Lutheran and Mission Viejo trading places. Previous No. 3 Huntington Beach was the only other top 10 team to lose last week. There were three others further down that lost and had to...
