NorCal/SoCal Players of the Week
With the baseball and softball seasons in the home stretch, and with so few teams still in action, in years past we sometimes had to dig deep to find the kind of outstanding performances that could qualify for a statewide player of the week award, let alone find a potential entry for the Cal-Hi Sports […]

We start out in Southern California in the San Fernando Valley, then head south to the Orange County […]
