Crazy night in WCAL

Geez, you let your guard down for a couple of minutes in this league and you get your diet lunch handed to you.
VC shouldn't surprise anyone. This was their first game since Christmas with their team close to 100%. Also have beaten Riordan 3 of 4. They won't win it but they'll be a spoiler down the stretch as they gel again. The "cupcake" schedule may have hurt them or maybe it was learning to play without important players. Regardless the cupcake last night had purple frosting and it was good
I agree.
Valley has some nice guards and good big man.
They could beat anyone on any night.

It was a very good game. You can tell there was a lot of trash talking and the teams were playing intensely. There were calls that should have been no calls or could have went either way, but it was Riordan's home court. When Olgasby got three fouls in the 1st quarter it wasn't good, SHC needed his toughness as witnessed when he came back in the third quarter how the Irish played with him. When he fouled out with Flowers in the 4th, SHC didn't have enough in the tank to keep hanging with Riordan in OT. If they see each other in the playoffs this year, it will be another good game.
This result was shocking to me. SI seemed to be trending downward and Serra seemed to be finding their way in league. This has to be the most lopsided game of league so far.
Looking into the future, I think the league standings will end at:
Bellarmine
St. Francis
SI
Mitty
SHC
Riordan
VC
I predict that Mitty wins out and finishes third as SI has a tougher schedule (Bells + Lancers). I have Serra sticking at #5 with SHC, Riordan, and VC bringing up the rear.
Its too bad these two good friends couldn't be on the same team.
This game had the makings of a great CCS D3 championship game final. One team came out ready and blitz the other, the other team fought and scrapped back all the way, a shot at the buzzer to send into OT. Yah its really too bad these two teams couldnt merge. Would make a deep NorCal run for sure.
This would have been a nice year to have a playoff. I think WCAL should go to a 4-team playoffs.
The Open Division IS the WCAL Championship which is precisely why they ended the WCAL Tournament.
The playoffs are useless because you have the teams play the round robin schedule and then the top four face off again in the WCAL playoffs and then the top four advance to face each other yet again in the CCS open division. It wouldn’t help SF for example for NorCal seedlings if they had four losses to the Bells. It happened often in the 80s and 90s where very good WCAL teams would have four losses to the Riordan juggernaut.
Crusaders pull out the win in spite of themselves! Lol! I thought their numerous turnovers would doom them again as they have done so many times this season. Great clutch shot by Clark who had a up and down game with many unforced turnovers by lazy or forced passes, but forces a turnover after his turnover with 6 seconds left in the game setting up his game winner. Strange game, but Crusaders will gladly take the win.
I will try and get my hands on the official stat sheet from that night and share.
Whenever stats are posted or people put out information, I think it’s wise or it would be in good taste to type or show accurate information. It’s not fair to the persons mentioned, especially if the information shared about them, is inaccurate. Now, if the information given is simply an opinion, like your last comment, I can get with that. But I can’t get with including people and there information, especially if the information is, in my own opinion, not accurate or correct. Your opinion and everyone else’s opinion, is just that, an opinion, you or anyone else is free to express opinions, But, I will not ignore when information is given that’s suppose to be facts, when in fact it’s not. The original stat in question should have been addressed only, not the addition of other kid’s stats, whether you care or not about the subject in question, other kids could and should have been left out of that whole created dialogue, in my opinion.
So you are saying say something about Monroe's stats , but no one elses...interesting . Since I know you know Sacred Hearts team, you should obviously know that if Neal and Monroe are not leading the team in attempts and points they do not stand a chance in games. Just my opinion.
I was not questioning your reading, I was clearly stating that CityBoy sited something that I responded to. So you asked me where I got the information. Not on here to argue about a game but that was not even last night. Your right about being accurate , that's why I responded.
I will go back to my second response, if someone addresses in a post about whatever, my opinion is keep it at whatever, not include other people who are not apart of what was posted. That’s just my opinion. I’ve expressed this on other threads as well. I just know the difference between an opinion and a fact, that’s all. I can read enough and have matriculated through the realms of higher education to know this. I personally, would never throw in other people on a post or thread that dealt with something else. That’s just me tho. Everybody on here plays by different rules so I’m good with that Real Talk.
The only reason why I responded because 2 other kids were mentioned on a post that wasn’t about them, that’s all. And, the information you gave concerning those 2 kids were inaccurate. It’s just not right in my opinion to do that, that was all. I’ve watched that game repeatedly and I’ve seen the stat sheet, If mere facts are stated then I’m good. I don’t argue and it takes tough skin to deal with issues like this, especially on a blog. Everyone on here has a right to express their opinions, but when you give facts and I’m not sure about what was stated, I want to know where the information came from. I dialogue, I don’t argue, at least I try not to.
I never ever stated that you were negative, not once. The matter, I felt, called for a dialogue. If I’m wrong, let me know. I’m big enough to take it. I’ve apologized to several people on this blog for statements I’ve made in the past and I won’t hesitate to do it again. No big deal everybody has their own mind.
