SoCal/NorCal Players of the Week
Over the years that we’ve been doing this feature, our final week of each school year has always been at the conclusion of the baseball/softball section playoffs, and that is this week. With the CIF Southern Section having concluded last weekend, we had to find our SoCal winners in the CIF Los Angeles City Section […]
Preseason All-CCS Football Team
This is the final stop in our tour of California through various preseason all-section, all-county or all-area football teams.

Preseason All-CCS Football Team

Others landing more than one player on this team include Serra of San Mateo, St. Francis...
NorCal/SoCal Players of the Week
It may be from an 8-person contest, but what running back Yaiden Ochoa and his teammates from Hillcrest Christian of Thousand Oaks did to honor the 12 victims of last week’s awful Borderline Bar shooting in their hometown was too much not to give a huge tip of the hat.
