Public School No. 1 Decided?
Friday night’s matchup in the CIF Southern Section D1 quarterfinals between No. 4 seed Mission Viejo and No. 5 Corona Centennial was called a Public School Super Bowl by many in the Southern California media. But did Centennial’s 25-20 triumph over the Diablos wrap up another State Public School of the Year selection for the […]

It’s time to launch our winter basketball content on CalHiSports.com and we’ll do it with our preseason boys basketball state rankings.

The Timberwolves displayed a very effective short passing spread offense that could not […]
NEW State TOP 50 FB Rankings (1-25)
