Three of our honorees this week are done after sparking their teams to section titles, including two of them who will be in the Pac-12 Conference next year. We couldn’t pick someone from SoCal baseball who is done for the year, but did go with a top pitcher from the CIF L.A. City Section who […]

NorCal/SoCal Players of the Week
How does five homers and 20 RBI for one week sound? That’s what Montebello’s Jose Macias did last week to earn our SoCal Player of the Week selection. The big first baseman has done more in the last three seasons, though, to gain recognition than just pounding the ball against weak competition. We also have […]
NorCal/SoCal Players of the Week
Our two NorCal honorees were picked before they played their first game this week and both Madison Papenhausen from San Marin of Novato and James Pizzuti from El Dorado of Placerville remained on fire as Papenhausen had a no-hitter and Pizzuti drove in five runs. This week’s two SoCal honorees, meanwhile, are from Verdugo Hills […]
NorCal/SoCal Players of the Week
Yes, they are from small school competition, but the ridiculous stats of Woodland Christian’s Jordyn Hutchins, including .821 batting average, 12 homers and 0.00 ERA, isn’t why she’s big time. It’s her major college D1 commitment and a Hot 100 national ranking for the Class of 2020 by FloSoftball. This week’s other honorees are from […]

Both of our NorCal honorees for this week threw no-hitters, one in softball with 19 strikeouts and one in baseball against a team that was in our State Top 20 two weeks ago. For Southern California, a slugger got the nod in softball with a three-homer game while it was pitching and hitting combined for […]

Collecting an MVP award from the Open Division in one of the state’s top baseball tournaments each year also gets SoCal Player of the Week recognition for San Marcos standout Zack Prajzner. He’s known for slick glove at shortstop and for hitting, but it was what he did on the mound in a rare start […]
NorCal/SoCal Players of the Week
Sometimes we just have to include a Monday game for this feature and we have this week with Palm Desert’s Sydney Sprinkle, who did more than sprinkle a few runs batted in during a game with Shadow Hills. We also have chosen two others with huge power numbers — one softball player from Oakland and […]
NorCal/SoCal Players of the Week
It’s our first chance this season to write about some of the most prolific, interesting and best baseball/softball players in the state through this weekly feature. One of them really is a Starr who hails from the fairly new school of Mountain House. The other three are from Valencia, San Jose and Atascadero.
NorCal/SoCal Players of the Week
It turned out to be the perfect week to do Oak Park’s Riley Battin for this feature since he only needs two rebounds in Friday’s game to reach 1,500 for his career and thus join a very select group of just three others in all of California prep history to have more than 2,500 points […]
