NorCal Baseball: 25 Best, 25 Yrs
For a feature we did last month for our partners at SportStars Magazine (it was their idea), the task was to choose the 25 best high school baseball players from the last 25 years for Northern California. It ended up that nine of the 25 have World Series rings. Note: To see the SportStars Magazine […]
Week 5 State Top 25 Scoreboard

State Stat Stars of the Week
Presented by ATHLETETRAX, this week’s best includes details from Hawkins of Los Angeles about QB Jorge Amaya’s 739 yards of passing for one game, the second best in state history and one of the best in U.S. history. Plus, it’s the first 500-yard outing in CIF Central Coast Section history for Pacifica Terra Nova’s Anthony […]
Forged By Flame
A steely bond among football teammates at El Dorado of Placerville only gets strengthened by massive King Fire. The Cougars head into their game this week at 5-0 and are rising among teams to watch in CIF Sac-Joaquin Section Division III rankings.
Family Bond Fuels Tracy’s Jones
NorCal’s fastest football player lives with his great uncle, who also happens to be a vice principal at school. He’s coming back from an injury this week but his cousin filled in nicely for him last week.
Record Book Obliteration
As Folsom’s Jake Browning is about to add the all-time state career touchdown pass record to his growing resume of accomplishments, we thought we’d present an inside look at him through the eyes of opposing defensive backs from our partners at SPORTSTARS Magazine.
