Esperanza: State Softball Team of Year
There is an asterisk attached to the 2021 State Softball Team of the Year honor that has been earned by Esperanza of Anaheim, but that has nothing to do with the worldwide pandemic that caused the 2020 season to be scrapped after a few weeks. The Aztecs are a legit champion and have become the […]
NEW State TOP 35 Softball Rankings
The top six teams appear to be locked in those positions heading into the final week of the season since results from this week’s first-ever CIF Southern California regional playoffs won’t have that much of an impact. Those six teams all opted out of those playoffs. Three of those teams — No. 1 Esperanza, No....
NEW State TOP 35 Softball Rankings
The result this week that caused the most changes actually just happened on Monday night as previous No. 5 Mater Dei Catholic lost to league rival Eastlake in the CIF San Diego Section.

NEW State TOP 35 Softball Rankings
It’s one of the goofiest weeks ever for Orange County teams, but Esperanza of Anaheim comes out of it with a win over previous No. 2 Villa Park and now jumps up into that spot for this week. Ventura/L.A. County was just as wild-and-wacky but it’s Camarillo now right in front of Westlake at No....

There’s a new No. 1 team, but it’s a team that knows all about being in that position as Norco gets the nod this week. A head-to-head win that the Cougars have over Huntington Beach comes into play after previous No. 1 Villa Park lost to Los Alamitos. Westlake and Mater Dei Catholic also move...
NEW State TOP 35 Softball Ranks
Huntington Beach gets a giant push and moves to No. 5 in this week’s rankings with just one loss (and that was by one run to No. 2 Norco). Being in the same league as No. 1 Los Alamitos doesn’t hurt, either. Villa Park and Westlake (Westlake Village) also still at No. 3 and No....
NEW State TOP 50 FB Ranks (1-25)
What to do in the aftermath of Norco’s win from last Saturday over previous No. 6 Corona Centennial? Should a team like the Cougars jump all the way up into this week’s rankings from the bubble and where should the Huskies drop? We say yes and put the two of them in the No. 15...
