After three straight years of Sierra Canyon finishing on top of the state, and in a season unlike any other with no official CIF state champions for the second straight year, this year’s selection is claimed by Centennial of Corona.

The strange, spring season concluded for the Monarchs with a win over St. John Bosco last Saturday as those two schools have now shared top honors in the state for five straight seasons.

De La Salle: 1st Baseball State TOY
It’s one of the toughest choices atop the final state rankings between De La Salle of Concord and Cypress, but if historical achievements are a factor (and it always has been in the 40 years of Cal-Hi Sports rankings) then the Spartans are getting the nod. This is the first time the school is being […]
Girls BB State Team of Year 2019
Sierra Canyon goes atop the all-time list of State Teams of the Year that extends back to 1972 season. The Trailblazers also may still be able to get a mythical national title.
