40 Greatest Baseball Teams (1-10)
This is the third time we’ve done these all-time rankings. The last posting was in 2015. Fresno 1958 and Chatsworth 2004 remain in the top two positions and have to be among the two greatest ever in U.S. history. The big change for the top 10 is the insertion of Clovis Buchanan’s 30-1 team from...
Senior Salutes No. 2 (Baseball/Softball)
As a consequence of the 2020 high school baseball and softball seasons being canceled after not even one-third of scheduled games were played in the state, we cannot produce all-state teams in those sports for 2020. We do not want to forget about those seniors from the Class of 2020, however, who were going to […]

All-State FB 2018: Medium Schools
The 40th annual edition of the Cal-Hi Sports All-State Football Teams will get to the large schools and overall choice over the Super Bowl weekend, but first we are focusing on the medium schools.

It actually was a blue-gray mix in the skies above the Blue-Grey All-American Football Combine held on Sunday at Freedom High in Oakley. Sure, it’s not the same as one of the many Nike camps we’ve been to dozens of times over the years, but you get to know the smaller group of players better […]

Still, the elite players on some of the other teams […]
