Folsom’s freaky 56-point half against Chaminade forces the Bulldogs to have to move up among the top 10 of this week’s rankings and they go from No. 8 to No. 6. They now are behind only the projected top four seeds for the CIF Southern Section Division I playoffs along with De La Salle. We...
NEW State Top 50 FB Ranks (1-25)
We only dropped Orange Lutheran one spot for losing to No. 4 Corona Centennial in what was a tight game until midway in the fourth quarter. Centennial also may benefit later on in CIFSS D1 playoff seedings due to No. 1 Mater Dei now having a forfeit loss. The one team getting a strong boost...
First 2018 Girls VB State Top 20
The season is well underway for some teams and several of them played on Tuesday night.

Preseason State 50 Football Ranks (1)
Does it really matter whether Mater Dei or St. John Bosco is No. 1 in the state to start the 2018 season? It’s very likely the two superpowers are going to play twice once again — first in the Trinity League and later in the CIF Southern Section Division I final — with the winner […]

State School of Year: Mater Dei
The Monarchs built up a huge lead with their success in fall sports, led by football going 15-0 and ending No. 1 in the nation, and they did more than enough for the rest of the year to hold off Buchanan of Clovis and the school that earned this honor for two of the previous […]
All-State Softball: First Team
The No. 1 and No. 2 teams in the final state and national rankings combine for six first team picks to headline this year’s 36th annual Cal-Hi Sports All-State Softball Team. This also ended up being a great year for catchers and we went with six of them on first team. This group of 30 […]
