NEW Softball State TOP 25 Rankings
The timing of the rankings this week once again includes Monday games (but not Tuesday), which means Los Alamitos is No. 2 after a win over No. 3 Huntington Beach. A win last week by the Oilers over the Griffins, however, plus two big wins by Clovis North in the Tri-River Athletic Conference pushes the...
Preseason Softball State TOP 40
Welcome to another season of Cal-Hi Sports state softball rankings. These have been done more than 30 years. The softball “preseason” rankings are different than baseball, which was done last week, because there are some teams in the CIF Southern Section that have already played games.

NEW Boys BB State TOP 25 Rankings
In this week’s new boys basketball State TOP 25, there is some movement and one newcomer, as only one higher seed in the loaded CIF Southern Section Open Division playoffs lost at home. The losers in the CIFSS open pool play games don’t really drop as those would be regional level games for teams from...

For our analysis and writeups on all 40 teams, plus a look at comparisons to our preseason rankings, check out the rankings that have been around twice as...
All-State Softball: Underclass
This is the first of four posts announcing the 38th edition of the Cal-Hi Sports All-State Softball Teams. After last year in which no teams could be selected due to the pandemic shutdown that stopped the season in its early stages, we can’t say this is the 39th year in a row of presenting all-state...
Senior Salutes: All-State Honor Roll
Due to the Coronavirus pandemic, there just wasn’t close to the number of games that would have needed to be played to fairly select any sort of official 2020 Cal-Hi Sports All-State Teams for baseball this year. We still wanted to do something with an honor roll list of top seniors who have either enjoyed […]
