The weird start to the season has made head to head comparisons even harder to draw meaningful conclusions from. I think Monday and yesterday were the first time in a month that St Francis had two consecutive games with all its starters playing, and other teams are in the same boat. At least games are getting played.The WCAL is crazy. What has happened to Bellarmine? Do they have injuries? Covid? They beat SHP who has some quality wins , but now are 0-5 in WCAL. SHC seems much improved, Valley has some good young talent.
It was only a matter of time before St. Francis puts it together- to much talent. SI when healthy can beat anyone. Coach Rapp will get every ounce of effort from his players, but I just don't think they have the players to compete with the top tier teams
Agree. The first 2 weeks of league only had a handful of games and/or many of the team's key players unavailable. (I.e. Bells-VC, SI-Serra and SI-SF). Indications appear we may be past this COVID surge and the second half of the season should be a better indicator. Although, Mitty and Riordan were at full strength last Wednesday. Mitty's offense was very impressive with the team passing the ball to beat the Crusader zone and finding the open man for open 3s and nailing them in pulling away late for the road win. Monarchs got at least a dozen second chances off of long offensive rebounds.The weird start to the season has made head to head comparisons even harder to draw meaningful conclusions from.

Might be the best statistical and accoladed season by a city player since 2017 Niamey Harris of Mission. Threw for over 2,000, 25 TDs while rushing for 600 yards and 6 TDs and now putting up big numbers trying to lead his team to scratch their way to a CCS birth (needs to finish .500 during league, 2-2 currently).Spears went off for 39 points in Sacred Heart Cathedral's win over Valley Christian on Wednesday
Has there been a better two-way athlete in the WCAL in recent years than Ray-John? I wonder what sport he is going to focus on at the next level? Niamey Harris is a great comp BTW. I am thinking of a WCAL comp and none immediately come to mind as athletes are so specialized now a days.Spears went off for 39 points in Sacred Heart Cathedral's win over Valley Christian on Wednesday

The Bells & Padres pull the upsets in the always unpredictable WCAL. Were these full squads or were key players missing in any of these games?Mitty 41 @ Serra 50
Valley Christian 53 @ SI 65
Bellarmine 47 @ SHC 33
Riordan 64 St Francis 62
SHC was without its best player, RJ Spears, and played in an OT loss to City rival, SI, the night before.The Bells & Padres pull the upsets in the always unpredictable WCAL. Were these full squads or were key players missing in any of these games?
Yeap- Every SI game I have seen the last 2 years the assistant coach is the one shaking hands.Was Spears' technicals and ejection during the game or after? I wasn't aware of this. Rearding Jamaal Baugh shaking hands of the opposing starters during introductions, I've seen SI a few times this year and he has done it every game. I don't know why but I have a seen other teams do this on occasion. No big deal.
Big Jamal! Riordan Crusader CCS Basketball Champion. Former Wildcat JV and Varsity asst coach Kareem Guilbeaux now on the Crusader Varsity staff this year.Jamal knows a ton of the kids on other teams and they're all happy to see him. I don't think it's a big deal at all, but some folks in green clearly did.
Not sure if it was just parents, as I saw some students.. But going off of Saturday's Mitty game, attendance was extremely limited. Looked well <50% full on the NFHS feed.Is Serra allowing spectators or just parents?
Limited attendance but there was a student section at the St Francis game at Serra — on the small side but active and vocal for the size, as they are known for.Not sure if it was just parents, as I saw some students..

Possible the Head Coach is a germaphobe. Thats acceptable.Yeap- Every SI game I have seen the last 2 years the assistant coach is the one shaking hands.
While I'm not one for any pregame antics I actually liked what the SH starters did during player introductions. The way they stopped, paid respect to Big Mal and then jogged over to the SI huddle and tapped Greenfield on the back. It's a huge rivalry game and the Irish knew exactly what they were doing. I see no problem.Big Jamal! Riordan Crusader CCS Basketball Champion. Former Wildcat JV and Varsity asst coach Kareem Guilbeaux now on the Crusader Varsity staff this year.
Busy week in the WCAL starts tonight.
Monday: Riordan @ Serra
Wednesday: Serra @ Riordan; Bellarmine @ VC; Mitty @ St. Francis; SHC @ SI
Saturday: SI @ Riordan; Bellarmine @ Mitty; SHC @ Serra;
True that,...overhype or fake news that shouldn't be news.Yeap- Every SI game I have seen the last 2 years the assistant coach is the one shaking hands.
Mitty-SF was a good back and forth contest. SF got in an early hole and could never grab the lead despite a few runs. Had a couple of good looks on final possession.Wednesday Night’s Results
Mitty 59 @ St Francis 57

Bells 64 @ Valley Christian 59 OT
Serra 41 @ Riordan 38. Missed FTs was the difference

True. Not a good shooting night. Defense allowed them to stay in the game after they were down 13 in the 3rd quarter.it looks like alot of missed shots were the difference not just free throws
