Wow the Bay Area is blowing up. Guess everyone didn’t move after all. Let’s go Bells, Pitt, Pinole Valley. Keep it rolling for E40, Bayyyyyy Areaaaaaaaa
Manteca can’t handle PITT‘s offense. I think Manteca’s HC Varnum was smart in trying to pull off a DLS/MT milk the clock and grind out first downs type of game plan. It worked for most the 1st half. The Pirates are just too explosive and have the best player on the field in Rashada.
I think the Buffs can make a comeback but it’s going to be an uphill climb and time isn’t exactly on their side.
For all the attention Blake Nichelson gets — I think #7 Bryson Davis is being underrated. He’s only a junior but looks like a really good player.
That play was the ONLY one that scored points for Lad in the STA game in Florida. The BANG news guy who got the free plane ride reported the parents were vocal on the flight home wanting the two year QB starter benched. With the gutsy OT failed two pointer the year before at DVC against Lakeland, a rarity of a new generation of losses along with state bowl games.
Totally Agree!!!.,. That Davis Kid looks really good!!!.,.. it was looking like Manteca was going to be able to grind PITT out with their line and Running backs, but PITT has responded beautifully….
How is it that Liberty - Bakersfield was playing in a NorCal Regional Game last year but they’re playing in a SoCal Regional this season?
Some big kicks in the rain in the SRV-MC game
Correct me if I’m mistaken, but I thought they divided up the Central Sections different divisions between NorCal and SoCal? Or am I falsely remembering something that never happened?
If I’m right, if Liberty is in a different division than they were last season it could explain the change.
I didn't see a reason on how teams get slotted from the Central Section on the state website. Unless there is a reason for it, it seems hoakey to me that Liberty is a NorCal champion in 2021 and playing for a SoCal title in 2022.
I wanna say it was something like divisions 1, 3, and 5 rollup to the North and 2, 4, 6, 7 roll up to the South. Something like that. But I can’t remember the exact breakdown.
It’s been quite a few years since the change was made so my memory is hazy. But I vaguely recall that the end result was half the divisions in the North and the other half in the South.
I also didn’t find anything to verify after doing a quick cursory search.
I’ll bet @Cal 14 knows or can find the info.
That was where my confusion is becuase Liberty won Central Section D1 the past two years, but got both a North and South bid
Ok, gotcha. I was only suggesting that had Liberty’s division designation changed that might explain things.
But if it hasn’t changed, then I got nothing. Unless the divisions rotate between North and South on a yearly basis?
Vanden should be overmatched. Bellarmine is a D1 school playing in D3 playoffs. They have no business in the D3 playoffs
The CS teams are positioned in either region, as needed, to balance out the divisions. Typically, three go to NorCal and three go to SoCal.
This is the first time that their D-I team has been sent to SoCal. I’m pretty sure (without checking) that D-II has always been in NorCal so far.
Up until last Sunday, Cal-Hi was also guessing that nothing would be changing. Could be that they saw Manteca as being too good for D-2AA.
