NCS site says D4. I don’t see anyone in NCS D4 who can deal with them…

Final score, 70-59.
 
I think it does, inazone... Not sure what would happen if they happen to lose Friday and Campo wins the same day... I'd think the head-to-head would give it to YV... But YV should handle Miramonte, I think...

That was a good game until about 4 minutes left. Campo was down 3 and had a look at a 3-pointer to tie, but somehow lost the ball into McNight’s hands starting a fast break the other way, which became a 3-point play on the foul. After Campo was T’d up, YV had 2 additional free throws and then got the ball and scored again, for basically a 7 point play. Instead of getting a 3 to tie, suddenly Campo was down 10, and it was pretty much over. Tough break there.

Great seeing you again Kiddman. Good job once again with the reporting. You’re the GOAT! 🐐
 
Does that make ygnacio valley league champs?
DAL is doing a league playoff tournament to determine the League auto qualifier for NCS. All of the league teams are seeded according to the final regular season standings.

Yeah, I should have been clearer. This game did, I think, make YV the top seed in the league playoffs. Rest of the seedings not locked in yet, one more league game remaining.
