Here are the Top 25 Schools Ranked by PGHCali and it is very interesting to see how these teams will fair this season coming, expect to see some upsets in this years contest, we will change the ranking for teams by schedule weight and opponents played against every two weeks.

#1: Etiwanda HS (32-3) CIFSS Open Division Finalist 2023; Open Division Regional Champions & Open Division State Champion 2023; #3 in the SBLive National Rankings

Etiwanda did a great job this last season garnering some of the best performances we have seen in a while, they beat the #1 team in Sierra Canyon in the State Regional final to go on an defeat Archbishop Mitty in the State Finals and capture their first Open Division State Championship. They are a young group that is very seasoned and Coach Stan Delus has done a great job with these kids, developing them and making them tough and ready to handle what is around the corner next. This is a defensive minded team that can also put up some numbers on you and they do it in a hurry and keep you off base with their defensive intensity. Here are the cast members who will return this year.

#2: Sierra Canyon HS (33-1), CIFSS Open Division Champion 2023; Open Division Regional Champions 2022; #4 in the SBLive National Rankings

Sierra Canyon has always been a Top team in the State of California for girls basketball, they have always had superstars and a cast of very good players to fill out their rosters. They have battled with Etiwanda and other Top teams in the State, but the relationship between Sierra Canyon and Etiwanda has been monumental over the past few years starting in 2018. Both of these teams get athletes knocking down their doors to come and play, they both travel the country playing very competitive schedules and it is for good reason. These teams will continue to battle it out in the State Open Division every year, it is just how it suppose to go.

#3: La Jolla Country Day HS (8-5); CIFSD Open Division Champion 2023; #8 in the SBLive National Rankings

La Jolla County Day is a storied program with the a superstar roster going back to Candace Wiggins, they have always been on the map and have won numerous Championships in CIF San Diego for awhile now. The most recent stars to come out of that program was Breya Cunningham and Jada Williams, both of those athletes are now debuting at University of Arizona this coming season and we believe they both will contribute to the success of their team this year. This group is well-coached by long tenured Head Girls Basketball Coach Terri Bamford and she is one of the most respected and most knowledgeable and has been winning games for years.

Seniors: Taylor Dente, Maya Couey, Alea Tufaga, Naomi Panganiban Naomi Panganiban 5'6" | CG La Jolla Country Day | 2024 State CA , Ann Mae-DeGuzman and Tajianna Roberts Tajianna Roberts 5'8" | SG La Jolla Country Day | 2024 State CA

Archbishop Mitty High School, located in San Jose, California, is known for its successful girls’ basketball program. The Archbishop Mitty Monarchs girls’ basketball team is renowned for its competitive performances at both the state and national levels. They are always a force to deal with in the girls basketball arena and will continue to be as long as the kids are lined up to go there to get a chance to be apart of a CIF State Championship team.

#5: Mater Dei HS (27-5); CIFSS Open Division Semi-Finalist 2023, CIF State Regional SemiFinalist 2023

Mater Dei is a juggernaut in the game of girls basketball on the West Coast and even in the Country, they continue to bring in great talent and super athletes that go on to be superstars in college and some even make it to the WNBA. They have a kid right now that will make that journey if she continues to work hard and be the best she possibly can be and that athletes name is Addision Deal, she is gonna be special and remember folks, I told you that name when she was a 7th grader. Mater Dei is always in contention with a CIFSS Championship or a State Championhsip and they play a good schedule that keeps them in the National Top 25 rankings, enough said..

#6: Oakland Tech HS (30-5) Overall; (8-0) in Oakland League, CIF NorCal Division I Champions 2023; State Division I Champions 2023

Oakland Tech is a 3 time consecutive State Champion in the field of girls basketball and have won 25 playoff games in a row since 2019. they have build a dynasty over there since the Pandemic break put teams at a pause for a year and they were hungry to defend their title an they came out and did just that. They have won Championships in Division 3, 4 and now Division 1, which they seemed to always be a D1 school in our opinion. They are doing well and are primed to appear in a title game again this year, lets just wait and see.

Returners:

Seniors: Taliyah Logwood Taliyah Logwood 5'10" | SF Oakland Tech | 2024 State CA , Sarai White, Tiana Grace, Zhanea Clemons, Jordan Taylor, Natane Chambers-Wright and Marticia Pollard

Clovis West has always been a powerhouse when it comes to girls basketball in the beautiful state of California, they just finished their 11th consecutive Champoinship in the CIF Central Sectiion. This was win 425 for Coach Craig Campbell making him the winningest Coach in Central Section History. This team bring in talent and develops them into elite teams and they will continue to do this year after year for more time to come. They will also appear in a title game this year in Sectional and State, expect it.

Returners:

#8: Salesian HS; (27-5) Overall; 10-0 in Tri-County-Rock League, CIF North Coast Section Open Division Champions 2023; State Open Division Finalist 2023

No Identifying Roster Recorded Yet…

Salesian has an impressive record winning League Championships, Sectional Championships and appearing in State title games, that is not by coincedence, those kids play hard and are well coached by the head coach and they give him 100% each and every time the step out on the court. These kids will definitely appear in another title game this coming year, I promise that as well.

#9: Folsom HS; (26-3) Overall; 10-0 in Sierra Foothill League, CIF San Joaquin Division I Champiuons 2023; State Open Division Round 1 2023

Folsom did a great job this past season wining the SJS Division I championship and they did by defeating a very good St. Marys of Stockton team who have a cast of stars playing their as well. Folsom controlled th game for the first 3 periods, but St. Marys would make a game of it in the end and Folsom would pull off the win with a score of 58-53 to capture the title. These girls play hard as well and handle their business on the floor, you see the returner for next season, they are loaded.

Piedmont was a good 27-0 on the season after winning their Championship this season, they would then face the tough team in Salesian Prep in the State Open Division and would eventually fall to them giving them their only loss of the season in the State Tournament, they had a good run and will continue to get better with the cast of returners below, so we hope to see them in the sectional again as well the State Tournament.

They host a great tournament in the MLK Classic each year that brings some of the basketball elite to the venue to play and see where they stand in the arena.

Santiago is a young team and they have worked and developed into a basketball power in Riverside County and in California. They are coming off a Big VIII League championship and a CIF Division I Finalist loss to Oakland Tech. They have developed their girls into a championship caliber team and they are not gonna do anything short of repeating as the Big VIII champion and go even deeper this year in the playoffs.

San Ramon Valley is an East Bay League Champion and they are worthy of this #14 spot in California, because they are well coached and are some good skilled kids that know how to play the game.
