NEW Softball State Top 25 Ranks
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...
NEW Baseball State Top 20
The earlier start to the 2019 season has been hampered by a lot of rainouts, especially in Northern California, but this upcoming week should really get things going. We’re sticking with preseason No. 1 Harvard-Westlake as the state No. 1 even though that isn’t a consensus No. 1 for Southern California. We have our reasons...
All-State FB 2018: 2nd & 3rd Teams
It’s safe to say that many of these players would be first team in some years at some positions.

It just worked out this week that three of our six honorees are from State Top 50 teams Folsom, Eastlake of Chula Vista and St. Francis of Mountain View. Seven also was a magic number for Sacramento’s Javon Felton (he scored seven times) and North Hollywood Campbell Hall’s Johnny Hawkins (threw seven TD passes). Multi-talented […]
NEW State Top 50 FB Ranks (1-25)
We go over why we’re moving up Corona Centennial to No. 2 this week instead of dropping previous No. 1 Mater Dei down to No. 2 behind new No. 1 St. John Bosco. This also is a good week to give JSerra a bump to No. 6 before the Lions take a crack at the...
NEW State Top 50 FB Ranks (1-25)
For the last several seasons, with Mater Dei and St. John Bosco, it’s almost like we have two major blockbuster movies with a guaranteed sequel coming out about six weeks after the initial release. Part I is this Friday in Santa Ana and also will be a matchup of No. 1 and No. 2 teams...
