CIF Polls: Spring sports back in bloom

Lo and behold, with already a week of full competition in the books, spring sports are back in force. CIF-SS released its first baseball and softball polls of the year on Monday, another sign that the days are getting warmer and the evenings longer.

The preseason  boys volleyball poll was released on February 22 but CIF hasn’t released any for boys golf, boys tennis, swimming, track or lacrosse.

Santa Barbara-area teams are virtually non-existent in the early polls, as only Cate baseball made its way onto one of the top-10 lists. The Rams, CIF finalists a year ago, start the year at No. 3 in Division VII. Because of an early spring break, Cate, which lost many of its best players to graduation last year, doesn’t play its first game until March 23rd.
