It ended up not being quite so simple as watching the CIF North Coast Section Division I baseball and softball championship games on the same day, but it was simple in how both De La Salle of Concord and Amador Valley of Pleasanton earned titles.

NEW Softball State Division Ranks
For this week, we are doing the next-to-last divisional state rankings in softball BEFORE the Tuesday section playoff games and will be doing baseball AFTER those contests. There just aren’t that many games left in softball compared to baseball with all sections done except the Southern and North Coast. Top-ranked teams entering the final week...
NEW Softball State Top 20
Yes, it was the calm before the storm for the previous rankings compared to this week’s myriad of moves that had to be made. And when the storm passed, sitting on top of the state — at least for this week — has to be Michelle Carew Classic champion Cathedral Catholic of San Diego. Go...
NEW Softball State Top 20
With Thursday’s Los Alamitos at Norco game postponed by weather, the Griffins (who are still unbeaten) go back to the top spot in the state this week to replace previous No. 1 Cathedral Catholic. Norco moves up to No. 3 with Orange Lutheran (which has split with Norco) at No. 2. Newcomers this week are...
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...

Orange County dominance now shows teams sitting in each of the top five positions after previous No. 3 Etiwanda and previous No. 4 West Ranch had to drop.

This week’s only two newcomers are Cathedral Catholic of San Diego and La Habra. Note: There are not going to be separate...
NEW Softball State Top 20
While we don’t agree with Oaks Christian being in front of Mission Viejo at No. 1 among CIF Southern Section Division II teams, we are bringing up the unbeaten Lions to No. 12 in this week’s rankings. This week’s other three newcomers are Hart of Newhall, Clovis and Escondido. Note: There are not going to...
Preseason Softball State Ranks
It’s not as obvious at the top of the state like it was to start last season with Mission Viejo. Still, we love teams with big-time returning pitchers and that’s why we’re starting off with Pioneer of San Jose in the No. 1 position. The Mustangs, led by UCLA-bound Holly Azevedo, came close to going […]
NEW S.F. Bay Area FB Ranks (Week 8)
Valley Christian goes back up to No. 8 as we’ll wait and see if it will be another re-shuffling next week of the WCAL and CCS squad. This week’s only newcomer is Amador Valley, which is back in after win against California of San Ramon.
