FINAL Girls BB Expanded Top 35
Last week we hinted there might be a re-shuffle based on a closer look at all results and more discussion. All-in-all, the first three spots for the 2016-17 season are a slam dunk but after that for the next three it’s basically a three-way tie. Last week we saw it one way and in this...
NEW Softball State Top 20
We are moving up the new softball rankings to Mondays for the rest of the season to coincide with national Flo50 rankings we also do for our friends at FloSports.TV. This week, it’s a calm before the storm as many teams will be playing each other at next weekend’s Michelle Carew Classic in Southern California...
NEW Softball State Top 20
No. 1 Norco rolls on with 9-0 win earlier this week over state-ranked Mater Dei. Previous No. 2 Amador Valley, however, was upset by Livermore, which helped put Los Alamitos into this week’s No. 2 spot. Unbeaten Rio Mesa also is given a big boost from No. 11 to No. 6 while Great Oak is...
NEW Baseball State Top 20
We will begin to move up the timing to much earlier in the week now that basketball is completely done, but this week wanted to wait until after No. 1 Buchanan played Clovis (No. 8 last week, No. 10 this week but No. 4 on the ticker in between) on Tuesday night. The Bears won...
Girls Hoops State Team of Year 2017
If there was ever a team to serve as the prime example of one that could come completely back from a nightmarish outing, then it’s this year’s girls at Clovis West. They didn’t just lose to Centennial of Las Vegas at the St. Mary’s MLK Showcase in Stockton in January, they were throttled. By the […]
Boys Hoops State Team of Year 2017
Bishop Montgomery of Torrance officially goes into the books as state’s best for 2016-17 season after winning CIF Open Division state title. Due to the teams that the Knights beat to finish at the top, such as nationally ranked Sierra Canyon, Mater Dei (twice) and Chino Hills, a case also could be made that they’re […]
Saturday Girls CIF State Finals
In a battle between two teams who’ve been at the top of the state rankings all season, Clovis West becomes first CIF Central Section team to win a Division I or Open Division girls basketball state title after winning defensive slugfest over Archbishop Mitty. Vanden wins D2 title with epic comeback over Mater Dei while […]
NEW Baseball State Top 20
With a lot of teams taking their first losses within the last week, the key benefactors in this week’s rankings are Orange Lutheran and Clovis. The Lancers are now No. 3 and right behind the No. 2 team from Huntington Beach, which is the only team that has beaten them. The Cougars are now NO....
Boys BB: Open-D1 State Predictions
It’s too hard to choose against the SoCal teams once again in this year’s top two games of the CIF State Basketball Championships, which will be held this weekend at Golden 1 Center in downtown Sacramento. But there are unknowns. Bishop Montgomery didn’t exactly light the gym on fire when it opened the season in […]
