Have you forgotten what happened just last year?
DLS lost an early season game not even to Serra, but the 1-loss Padres were still chosen over the Spartans at the end. DLS had the wins over both the SJS D-I and SDS D-Open champs… did not matter.
I understand that wanting to stir drama where there isn’t any is more interesting than just waiting for the inevitable, but we need to remain logical.
Also, there’s very little chance that Serra loses in WCAL play. VC has already been dumped by Wilcox and Salinas, Bellarmine lost to M-A, St. Francis to Monterey Trail… who is left? Mitty? Sorry, I don’t see it.
Like I said, if Wilcox beats M-A next week and Los Gatos later in the year, there will likely be two undefeated public schools in the playoffs (the Chargers and Salinas). Unfortunately, they will likely face-off in the semis before reaching Serra, but those two might be the biggest threats. Even then, the Padres will likely be a good 14-point favorite in that game.
