Clovis North goes to the NorCal Playoffs. Following @Cal 14 predictions, only two teams for the CS section head north. The other was Strathmore.
Although not surprised, very few people talked about a Folsom / Pittsburg matchup.
As Thunder predicted, Rocklin is paired with Grant.

There we go!!…. Some great Matchups!!!….
Selfishly I am totally Bummed that PITT and Folsom are playing in Folsom because I really want to go to that game!… 🤣
But I may just go to Acalanes vs Escalon instead…. This is a great matchup, One of the most Physically impressive teams this year vs one of the Best coached teams in CA every year!!,… Acalanes will have their hands full….
The committee got the Nor Cal game right, some great matchups!!..,, 🍻
Marin Catholic’s worst nightmare another ass whopping at the hands of Mack
Also, look at DLS vs Clovis North, At DLS!!!…. That is a Shocker, everyone expected to be Traveling to Veteran's Stadium in Clovis for that game!!…
It must be a balance between record and SOS. That’d be my guess based upon the result of their selections. Soquel’s SOS is barely superior to Casa’s however the Rams own the best win among the two.
DLS’s SOS is just a tad better than Clovis North’s.

This is lineup is chock full of intriguing matchups.
As many of us often say, these Regional games are more appealing than the State games. I’ll bet SoCal feels the same.
One has to think revenue (ie…anticipated attendance) has to be a consideration for CIF when selecting host schools. Undefeated Pitt traveling to Folsom, undefeated Clovis to DLS, etc...
I was about to say that they followed Calpreps ratings, except they didn’t in all cases. Clovis North is rated far above DLS and so is Escalon over Acalanes.
So not only do those home game assignments make little sense, I don’t see the justification for Soquel hosting Casa Roble. The Rams have 1 less loss and the SOS difference is marginal.
It seems that this idea is generally true on the hardwood also, in most divisions.
I’m not following you ? MC could handle Escalón they won’t be athletically overwhelmed………Mack every time they play MC absolutely overwhelms MC offense with their speed from all over the field
Totally Agree, but this is why the DLS vs CN decision is so confusing….. DLS expected to play in front of a Packed House in Clovis at that Awesome Veterans stadium….. DLS can’t accommodate 1/3rd of that stadium…..
DLS had 2 Losses and 1 loss to a TL team and CN was undefeated and Beat a TL Team…. Seems like it should have been a CN home game….
I don’t know enough about the Central Section to have an opinion re: expected attendance, etc. Did DLS host or travel the last few years of Nor Cal games, wonder if that’s a consideration. 🤷🏼
To be honest and fair, I didn’t predict or anticipate that pairing at all.
It was a coach and parent of a current RHS player that dropped that on me last night.
I’d rather have seen the Thunder matched up with DLS or a rematch against Folsom, but GHS will be fun too. They will pose a very interesting challenge for the Thunder. I think they are playing better now than early on in the season when they had Oak Ridge on the ropes and barely lost. Those two backs and Lopa are scary good.
Not only that, the TL team Clovis North beat by 16 points (Jserra) beat the TL team (OLu) that beat DLS by 21.
Any way one slices it, it seems Clovis North got the short end.
The only factor I can reasonably come up with to explain the decision is the DLS brand name and history.
Right then the next best 5 athletes all are from Mack…..same story as every year they will lock Mc down outside and stuff the box

Yes OR was on ropes big time. I was at the game and keep in mind this was without grants other stud RB. (I think UNLV commit). Also Lopa got hurt in that game.
At full strength I think grant wins that game. Rocklin will be a tough matchup for grant though. Their tough schedule and physicality is not to be overlooked and they just beat a super athletic team in st marys.
The SJS screwed itself by allowing 2 of its top dogs to play each other. Should have fought to not allow same section games.
I’d like to see something like this
DLS vs Rocklin
Folsom vs Clovis North
Pitt vs Grant
Or even
DLS vs Grant (a game in waiting for the last 20 years)
Pitt vs Rocklin
Folsom vs Clovis North

Yes, I did take some liberties in language. You we clear you heard it from a Rocklin coach.
It has to do with what the team more recently has had to do. If they traveled last year, they probably won't travel this year. The games are not seeded.
I think this and they might like to balance it out around the region too. Though I think this is Grant's second year on the road in the regionals.
I seem to remember a classic Grant v Rocklin playoff game about 15 years ago. My foggy memory thinks RHS made a valiant goal line stand to knock off an undefeated Grant team on their way to the DI State game vs Servite. Or were those two different Rocklin teams? 🤷🏼
The Mighty Herzog’s vs. Paly is a true David vs. Goliath match up.
It's funny how we just ignore the fact that Grant lost to Monterey Trail just a few weeks ago.
@cal14
What does that have anything to do with wanting Grant and Rocklin to play someone from another section?

From a selfish standpoint, I much prefer either of the 2 scenarios you outlined. Because, like you, I'd like to have seen DLS matchup with Grant Union or Rocklin since they both have capable teams and have never faced each other. Also like you, I much prefer the cross-sectional match ups rather than in-section.
Pitt vs. Grant Union would have been sweet too. Those two programs haven't played since WW2 era in the early 1940's.
That said, I understand why they decided as they did.
It’s too bad this game can’t be moved to DVC….. Plenty of Seating and Parking for everyone….
It must be a $$ thing for The CIF….. They must not want to shell out money to rent venues so they hold these regional games at the High Schools…..
