What makes the CalHiSports.com all-state honors unmatched is that we point the spotlight on players from different-sized schools as well as the best players for the future. Cathedral Catholic and San Dimas lead the medium school selections while Washington of Easton and Escalon each get a pair for small schools. Sixty players also named either first team or second team all-state underclass.
