SoCal/NorCal Players of the Week
Two of the strongest nominations for this week in SoCal baseball were from the same school. We considered Co-Players of the Week, but as many may know ties for anything just isn’t in our DNA.

One upset loss in extra innings to a team it has beaten before doesn’t cost Norco the No. 1 ranking in the state. Foothill of Pleasanton stays No. 2 but all of the teams beating each other throughout the rest of Southern California may pay off for the Falcons down the road if they finish...
