All-Decade Softball: All-State Team
Vista Murrieta ends up being the only school with three first team players for the decade with two of those from the same family. Selecting this team also shows how great California was in the 2015 season and it was a challenge to try to get as many members of the just-named 2020 U.S. Olympic...
Ms. Softball 2019: Kinzie Hansen
In another of the closest selections ever, the Norco High catcher edges out two others to collect the state’s longest-running individual softball honor. She is the fourth from Norco to be Ms. Softball this decade and is only the second catcher now on the all-time list. In the end, despite the accomplishments of the five […]
Ms. Softball 2018: It’s Tidd by a tad
This one was one of the closest selections ever, but what happened in the last game and local consensus is the difference as Payton Tidd of San Marcos earns the state’s longest-running individual softball honor. There were five outstanding finalists this year but it basically came down to two from the CIF San Diego Section. […]

The results cause some changes and we’re pretty sure we know which school’s fans aren’t...
All-State Softball: 2nd & 3rd Teams
The 35th annual Cal-Hi Sports all-state teams selections for softball also includes 30 players named second team overall plus 30 more who are third team. Any player from any school regardless of class or school size can be on second team. The third team, however, is only for seniors and only for large schools. For...
NEW Softball State Top 20
Norco moving to No. 1 is a no-brainer after its win at Dave Kops TOC in Arizona over elite field. The hard part is what to do after that. La Habra does go up from No. 13 to No. 2 while previous No. 1 Mission Viejo has to fall to No. 9. This week’s newcomers...
