I'm not sure I've been more proud of a data project. The USA 🇺🇸 Prep WAR Leaderboard now houses pages for each of the 6 regions, meaning you can find ALL of my high school player ratings in one spot.
We're up to 25,000 players & counting!

The Giants lost 5-1. They went 65-97, missing the playoffs for the ninth time in 10 years. Before and after a likely lockout, every dollar and trade chip needs to be spent on rebuilding the pitching staff.
(Also someone needs to fix the chicken tenders.)

@paulmeadors Wow. Cruz is one of the top overall players on my leaderboard. Have you ever seen a player start the season with one school and finish with another? It seems like that wouldn’t be allowed by CIF.
Sometimes we get asked how our different formulated rankings can have such different results. You can tell as many stories with data as you can have opinions on players.
What we try to offer are helpful tools, and you can decide which of them you trust the most!
@brabrams_ It wouldn’t surprise me if Mt Shasta did the same. I wish they could have discussed this before the season so RCS could have built a more competitive schedule!

Shaw’s 342 yds extended his career total to 7,013, making him the second player in NSCIF history to reach 7k.
He’s 141 yds away from tying the all-time record, and he’s thrown for over 141 in 28/31 career games.
Shaw has the chance to break another record this Friday vs. Weed.
