What’s your definition of “loaded”? DLS does not fit in loaded category. Blair is really good rest of team are solid hs players. Let’s see how Jesuit does Saturday. Does 7/8th team really want Open better chance to go to state at D1
Nor-Cal Open Candidates 2-6-2023
- Thread starter M.C. fan
- Start date
DLS beat #1 team in the country this year. That’s probably one of the biggest wins in the history program and one of best ones ever by a norcal team. Have you seen the resume that west linn has? They can compete with anyone.

Yes they were and debating is pointless with you.
West Linn has wins over Duncanville, MC, Bosco Sierra canyon, etc. DLS will be in the open and if Blair stays out of trouble they will be a tough out.

@ArmchairGOAT , I believe the Central Section Champ game is tnite. Clovis West vs St Joseph. The winner of that game is virtually an automatic. But I don’t think they get both teams. Especially CW getting smashed by MC.
And I don’t see Inderkum getting the bid.
Otherwise I like the picks.
As for the other divisions it’s anybody guess. But I think a few of those teams below are in track and baseball season now.

D1 is gonna be a monster but Pitt, Trail, Capital, Lincoln, Logan are not going.

they were #1 on usa today only.
Hahahha. That is what I meant about spring sports.
Agreed. Although I would have hated to face Monterey Trail. That’s a heck of a team.
What about 26-3 Lincoln of San Fran
Serra. Ccs open runner up
Oakland vs Oakland tech winner
Salesian plays Granada tonight. Winner may get Open
I’ll take a crack at it and see how it turns out tomorrow!

Okay, had a quick look at the MC game, pretty easy win for MC.
I'll go with:
Locks:
MC
DV
St. Tounde, err, Joseph if they are sent north
DLS
Probably/maybe, in no particular order:
CVC
Jesuit
Salesian
Sacred Heart Cathedral
Clovis West if St. Joseph goes South.
I'd kinda rather see a four-team bracket for this year, of course no way this happens.

And if MC isn’t the top seed that is another slap in face.
SJS seedings were criminal for them. MC is going to roll from what I have witnessed. Team is peaking at Right Time. Just got a 6”7 small forward eligible. A real treat watching them at G1C. Much better team than last year even without Phillips.

MC is the truth! Should easily be a one seed. Less is more as it comes to the open division this year. I think both MC and DV deserve a first round bye so I’d go with 6 teams with St Joseph coming up north
There guard play is insane. BJ Davis is special. SDSU got a great floor general. All intangibles. Brown is so strong and nearly impossible to stop around the rim. Reed Jones is very good player for Jesuit and he just had a rough time keeping him in front. The big fella (prince) has improved a lot. Still a project but he has gotten so much better.
Anything is possible in a Hs game but they will really need to have a bad night for somebody to knock them off. Usually we don’t quite have all the horses to compete in the open. Not this team. The stable is full.
No. SHC won OPEN 2019 and was put as a #10 seed in Division 1. I could see a scenario with both Riordan and Mitty making it in Open. Riordan and Mitty also went 2-1 in pool play however they both lost to the teams that played CCS OPEN Division Championship. Riordan lost to SHC 58-49 and Mitty lost 50-49. All four teams had same record in pool play, with the teams winning head to head playing in the championship. I see both Riordan and Mitty in Open, Serra and SHC will be in D1. SHC middle of the bracket, Serra lower end based on results
Looks like Serra was.
And Lincoln was ranked in D1 max preps and before competitive equity they for sure would be D1
I also said Clovis North
See none of that matters. Like I said Mitty to open. No Finalist made open . .
Also Folsom loses in Qtr finals and gets higher seed than Jesuit who made finals and rolled the team that beat Folsom
Ok that’s a head scratcher . I already posted they seeded them #28 which is a joke
Right and if they did they how MITTY jump Folsom lol idk what we suppose to think at this point. And Jesuit not to open is CRAZY. Lol
Folsom has a big gym. One of biggest in norcal. That’s a lot of gate money for cif. Total head scratcher
Too early. They were basically in the semi final game with Serra both teams entering play at 2-0. ßerra beat them by one point. Thus getting the championship.berth
