State Stat Stars of the Week
This feature serves as our statewide collection of milestone achievements in California high school sports. More than lists and numbers, we can provide historical context since we’ve maintained state records in California for more than 40 years. For boys hoops, we have a second addition to the all-time state single-game list this season after Logan...
2023 Football Coaching Highlights
Before we begin with the first of our many state season honors, which will be the 2023 state coaches of the year, we like to update the all-time state coaching leaders list. This is the one that has the names of just more than 140 through all the years of state history who have won […]
FINAL Divisional State FB Rankings
When the very first Cal-Hi Sports state football rankings were compiled in the late 1970s by founder Nelson Tennis, they were done in five divisions (Class AAAA, etc.). Sorry for the delay in getting them out, but here they are for the 2023 season. Already announced as No. 1 teams were Mater Dei of Santa...
NorCal/SoCal Players of the Week
For our second week of Northern and Southern California Players of the Week for basketball, we cheated a little by including a Monday performance that already happened this week. It was just deemed the best way to get out details of a record-breaking performance from senior Mercy Miller from Notre Dame of Sherman Oaks. We […]

LJCD Sweet 16 Roundup
State No. 1 Etiwanda girls crank up the defense to win Platinum Division title at 21st annual La Jolla Country Day Sweet 16 early season tournament. Host school reaches the title game and its longtime head coach, Terri Bamford, won the 700th game of her career to join an illustrious all-time state list. We hope […]
NEW State TOP 50 FB Rankings (1-25)
Mater Dei goes back to the No. 1 spot it was in before last year’s CIF Southern Section championships and if recent history is a guide will stay there until St. John Bosco wins the next time in the series between the two schools. Pittsburg and Mission Viejo get big bumps, but are still playing...
State Stat Stars of the Week
This feature serves as our statewide collection of milestone achievements in California high school sports. More than lists and numbers, we can provide historical context since we’ve maintained state records in California for more than 40 years. For RBs, Juan Esquivez from Orestimba of Newman sets a CIF Sac-Joaquin Section playoff record with 460 yards...
NorCal/SoCal Players of the Week
The funnel this week is even narrower than last week as the 2023 football season winds down and we get close to switching our Players of the Week from football to basketball. Despite the number of teams in action being nearly halved this past week, we still found six worthy honorees. We have one who […]
