25 Schools With Winning In Their DNA
We are now at that point of the summer in which we are updating the all-time state football records that have been maintained exclusively by Cal-Hi Sports since the first list was compiled in the 1970s. We begin with team categories and one of them is the list of schools with the best all-time win-loss […]
All-State Baseball 2024: First Team
We conclude the release of our 42nd annual All-State Baseball Teams. State Team of the Year Corona has three on first team, but you’ll have to read the post to see which three (there’s also two on second team). We also got creative with a couple of the outfield positions instead of using even more […]
Baseball: All-State Medium, Small
The selections for the 42nd annual Cal-Hi Sports All-State Baseball Teams goes on and today it’s those from medium & small schools. It’s more confusing as ever as which is large, medium & small thanks to competitive equity based playoffs but we have been doing these teams for a long time. Both the small schools […]
State School of the Year: Mater Dei
A massive fall season with three CIF state titles had Mater Dei of Santa Ana firmly in the lead to be California’s No. 1 school for the 2023-24 school year for outstanding overall athletic excellence.

Softball: All-State Underclass 2024
The release of the 41st annual Cal-Hi Sports All-State Softball Teams is now underway. We begin with a new way of doing the all-state underclass teams and that’s doing the juniors and sophomores separately (just like football and basketball). We have a first and second team all-state for juniors and first team for sophomores. A...
NBA Draft: McCain Stands Tall
The 2023 Mr. Basketball State Player of the Year from Corona Centennial goes at No. 16 in the first round of the 2024 NBA Draft to the Philadelphia 76ers. There was one more from the state in the first round and there were three in the second round, with the most attention obviously on the […]
Mr. Baseball 2024: Seth Hernandez
It’s rare for a junior to get the state’s top individual honor and it was going to be really hard this year for one senior in particular to be topped, but Corona’s big-time pitcher who also led the State Team of the Year in home runs and RBI just had too much to be denied. […]
