Yes, it the same six players as before — Offense, Defense & Special Teams/Multi-Purpose from Northern & Southern California — but we’re just calling those six our state players of the week instead of NorCal/SoCal. We kick off the first week of the 2024 season with six very deserving honorees, but as is always the […]

All-State Baseball Nominees (NorCal)
We’re a little later than usual, but we’re now beginning the post-season honors process for all-state baseball. This will be the 42nd annual Cal-Hi Sports All-State Baseball Teams. State Coaches of the Year and State Players of the Year will be coming soon. We start the cycle with a first list of nominees on our […]
NorCal/SoCal Players of the Week
We didn’t have any potential entries into the Cal-Hi Sports Online Record Book to track this week, but we had some outstanding performances from players that usually only get local props to give some statewide recognition. In Northern California we visit Tulare and Modesto, and in Southern California our stops are in Covina and San […]
State Stat Stars of the Week
This feature serves as our statewide collection of milestone achievements in California high school sports. For softball this week, we have more than one girl who had three homers in one game plus the end of a long league losing streak that was at least 153 games in length. For baseball, the big story is...
SoCal/NorCal Players of the Week
Kicking off and letting either one of our two special teams honorees this week touch the ball might be a big mistake. And both Kris Hutson of St. John Bosco (Bellflower) and Sione Vaki from Liberty (Brentwood) are elite players in many other ways when they are on the field. In addition to those two, […]
NorCal/SoCal Players of the Week
Family ties are a big angle for this week’s honorees with one of them being the grandson of the head coach and another who’s got a twin brother who also is a standout on the same team. The six recipients this week are from Elk Grove, Tulare, Atherton, San Marino, Mission Viejo and Goleta.
CIF Bowl Board No. 2 (North)
New teams going onto our board from last week are just a few and that’s mainly to account for a different interpretation of bylaws from the CIF Central Coast Section. We also have Tulare Western replacing San Joaquin Memorial from Central Section D3. There also seems to be increased jockeying for teams to grab the...
Stat Stars, State Records & More
From controversial Joe Mixon of the Cincinnati Bengals to new kickers Aldrick Rosas and Rigoberto Sanchez of the New York Giants and Indianapolis Colts, congrats to all of those NFL rookies from California high schools making their debuts this weekend. This column this week also includes updated state record lists for most receiving yards (single...
SoCal/NorCal Players of the Week
Two who’ve put their names into the state record book — Jonathan Martin of Culver City (total offense single game) and Keshon Butler of Tulare Western (most receiving yds single game) — lead this week’s SoCal/NorCal Player of the Week picks. Other honorees are from Yucaipa, San Juan Capistrano, Atherton and Lake of the Pines. […]
