<p><strong>#12: Sage Hill HS (21-10) Overall; (6-0) in Pacific Coast League; 2023 CIF State Regional Open Division Finalist</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>Sage Hill </strong>has been performing well better and better each year they have been in contention for a title in the CIF Playoffs and Championships. They lost to Mater Dei their last game, but they played hard and made Mater Dei put them away, they have been on their game for the past 3 to 4 serasons. Some teams have even said they would not want to play them in the near future as they become more seasoned and experienced at the game, expect them to make some waves this season in the Playoffs.</p>

<p><strong>#13: Corona Santiago HS (25-10) Overall; (10-0) in Big VIII League;</strong> <strong>2023 CIFSS Division I Finalist</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>Santiago</strong> 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 <strong>Big VIII League</strong> championship and a <strong>CIF Division I Finalist loss to Oakland Tech</strong>. 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. I have watched these girls for some time and they are tough and skilled, it is their time. </p>

<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>San Ramon Valley</strong> 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. This team is devising a way to get back to the playoffs and championships, they are a little short staffed and hope this season that they add some more depth to the team that will allow them to go deeper into the playoffs. </p>
