It was considered to move up Oak Hills past Newbury Park in medium, but dropping a No. 1 team is just something we never do. Los Gatos moves up to No. 3 and El Cerrito jumps from No. 8 to No. 4. Beaumont and San Jacinto also are medium schools newcomers. For small schools, the...

State Stat Stars of the Week
This feature serves as our statewide collection of milestone achievements in California high school sports. More than lists and numbers, we can provide historical context since we’ve maintained state records in California for more than 40 years. In that strange game that Torres of Madera won in OT over Shafter from the Central Section, the...
Medium/Small Schools State FB Ranks
With many teams on byes and others playing opponents that didn’t have much of a chance, there isn’t much movement this week among those that have been in these rankings. For medium, Pacifica of Oxnard remains No. 1 with the only newcomer being El Cerrito. For small, No. 1 Escalon and No. 3 Hughson are...
NorCal/SoCal Players of the Week
Two of the leading sophomore players in the state had huge outings last weekend, but the beauty of having a multi-purpose/special teams category is that we can pick them both. We also have a player with a 105-yard interception return that for our purposes is not a state record tie of 99 yards since we’ve […]

At the end of each season, we continue the tradition, but they are now much...

This feature serves as our statewide collection of milestone achievements in California high school sports. Two of the top stat stars are from Kennedy of Granada Hills and Granada Hills Charter. We also have a player who pulled off the Christian McCaffrey triple (TD pass, TD catch, TD run). Plus, we have more boys &...
NEW NorCal/SoCal CIF Bowl Projections
Really the only scenario in which Serra of San Mateo possibly could have been passed up for the NorCal Open Division slot has ended so the Padres will simply have to win out in the CCS to get another shot at probably either Mater Dei or St. John Bosco. This week’s board also has six...
Medium/Small Schools State FB Ranks
Oak Hills & Apple Valley set to meet in High Desert showdown that also will be a No. 1 vs. No. 2 for state medium schools.
