Ms. Basketball 2019: Hooray for Haley
It’s almost with a sense of relief we are able to announce this year’s Ms. Basketball for California is Haley Jones from Archbishop Mitty of San Jose. She’s without question one of the best players in Northern California history so if for various reasons — including an official’s controversial call or two — she hadn’t […]
NEW Girls BB State Top 20
With this week’s playoffs now going on in all sections of the state and for all teams in the state rankings, it’s hard to believe the CIF Southern Section Open Division is already down to just four teams in the hunt for the championship. Including the four teams that lost in last Saturday’s quarterfinals, all...
NEW Girls BB State Top 20
At this point of the season in the who beat who syndrome, getting a win doesn’t always automatically elevate one team over another team it just beat. Competitive equity has to be factored with teams that seem to be headed to the CIF NorCal or SoCal Open Division. We also have to place just as...
Girls BB: NorCal Open & D1 Finals
There was no more magic for Cardinal Newman of Santa Rosa as the run by the No. 7 seed Cardinals in the NorCal Open Division came to a crashing halt in a 24-point loss to No. 1 seed and No. 1 state-ranked Archbishop Mitty. The Monarchs will now travel to Sacramento for attempt to win […]

Girls BB: Preseason State Top 25
Archbishop Mitty starts in the No. 1 position, but it’s not as clear-cut as in some other recent seasons. Long Beach Poly also was strongly considered for that ranking while Clovis West has its best team ever. Two CIF state champions from last season – Sacred Heart Cathedral (D3) and Cardinal Newman (D4) – also […]
Girls of Summer: Vegas Heat
California teams take some lumps at the Cal Sparks Ballin’ in the Ballroom but dish out some as well. A game between the Wiggins Waves and San Jose Cagers drew perhaps the most interest. The Cal Sparks team also split up into two teams, one for seniors-only and the other for underclass-only, and each one […]
Preseason Girls BB Ranks (1-15)
With all five starters back from a team that won the CIF Open Division state crown, St. Mary’s of Stockton is easy choice as preseason No. 1 for the state to start the 2015-16 season. It’s not even that hard to choose No. 2 and No. 3, either, as both Chaminade of West Hills and […]
