Sabrina's hand appears fine... her shooting is NOT. 0-8 from the floor.

Halftime, 34-27 Lynx.

Well... The first quarter went about as badly as it could ever go... 19-10 Lynx, Sabrina hurt her shooting hand, too. Looked like maybe thumb got jammed. We'll have to see how that goes...

Impressive!

Game 5 right now!

ESPN. Sabs, Breanna, Jonquel.... GO GET IT!!

DRE CARTER WILL BE AMAZING !!!

Thank you both for the two new Monarchs: Zeni Patterson (soph) and frosh Maliya Hunter. Maybe Mitty will have a chance for a state championship this season. BTW, I was guessing the other 2026 starter was going to be Sofia Teresi (#22). She is one of fastest dribblers and best defenders that I've seen. She was brought up from the JV team last season and was seeing lots of playing time in the playoffs. ST is super effective employing their full-court press.

Maliya Hunter is a 5-8 guard/wing from Sacto area, not a post player (Class of 2027)

Thank U.

OT-Cal women's bball just received a verbal from "Puff" Morris, the Etiwanda PG, that scored 20 points and had 5 assists against Mitty in the state title game. She is ranked #24 by ESPN HoopGurlz in the class of 2025. GO BEARS!

Congrats WCAL88 - so many high scores on these difficult games - and a perfect score to boot.

CCS play-off projections with three weeks to go

Here are the CCS Play-off projections with three weeks left in the season. Only one change to the field with Kings Academy going in and Hillsdale going out.

Open/D1

Barring an upset where one of these teams’ losses to someone other than those in the Open/D1 division, this field looks set although seedings could change as they did this week. St. Francis win over SI moved them from 2 to 1 and dropped SI from 1 to 3. Everything else stayed the same.

7. Capuchino 8-2 42 (7) at 2. Willow Glen 10-0* 51.5 (3)

Dropped to D3 as no B league team can play in DI or D2

D4

Kings Academy moved into the field instead of Hillsdale based ontheir upset win over Burlingame.

8. Live Oak 3-7 28** (8) at 1. Aptos 5-5 41.33 (1)

5. Sacred Heart Prep 3-7 32.5 (6) at 4. San Mateo 7-3 34.5 (5)

D5

Movement here came from South San Francisco’s win over Woodside, flipping their projected finish in their league.

8. Gunderson 7-3 20 (8) at 1. North Monterey County 8-2 32.5 (1)
5. Pioneer 6-4 24.5 (4) at 4. Alisal 6-4 25 (5)
6. Gunn 10-0 22.5 (6) at 3. South San Francisco 8-2 28 (7)
7. Woodside 8-2 22 (3) at 2. San Lorenzo Valley 10-0 32**
**Dropped from D4 to D5 as all C league teams must be in D5.

WCAL

St. Francis replaced SI as the favorite to win the league based on their 27-13 win this week. VC and St. Francis are the leagues only two undefeated teams. Serra nd SI are projected to win the third and fourth automatic spots with Riordan and Sacred Heart Cathedral projected to both get at-large bids.

PAL-Bay

Everything has gone as projected in this league. Los Gatos is a heavy favorite to win the league. Menlo-Atherton, Wilcox, Menlo School, and Palo Alto are projected to get automatic berths. If all projections play out Sacred Heart Prep would edge Carlmont for the last at-large berth.

Gabilan

Salinas and Soquel continue on a collison course for the league championship. Monterey is in good position for third place. This weeks Hollister/Palma game could decide fourth place and the final automatic spot. Aptos and the Palma/Hollister loser should both get at-large berths.

Mount Hamilton

Another conference that has gone as projected. Christopher favored to win the conference with Santa Teresa, Branham and Live Oak projected to get other three play-off berths.

PAL-Deanza

This league had a big upset as Kings Academy beat the top ranked team Burlingame. This league now projects to have tri-champions between Burlingame, Kings Academy and Capuchino. All three would get the league’s three automatic berths. Hillsdale is currently projected fourth and won’t get an at-large bid.

PAL Ocean

Another big upset here as Sequoia beat Half Moon Bay 21-20. Current projections have Half Moon Bay sharing the league title with San Mateo with both teams going to the play-offs. Carlmont is projected to be on the bubble for an at-large berth.

Mission South

No changes here. Carmel should win this league easily and North Salinas is still in the driver’s seat but will probably need a week 10 win over Soledad to cement this spot.

Mission North

No changes here as well. North Monterey County projected to win the league with Alisal getting the second spot.

Valley

Willow Glen is favored to win the league and finish the regular season 10-0. Sobrato is projected to be second beat will need to beat Leland to hold this spot.

Foothill

Piedmont Hills beat Pioneer and is a heavy favorite to win this league. Pioneer is still projected to get the second play-off spot.

El Camino

A showdown between the league’s top two rated teams was won by South San Francisco over Woodside. Woodside is still projected to get the league’s second play-off berth.

Santa Lucia

San Lorenzo Valley is a strong favorite to finish 10-0 and get this C league’s only play-off berth. Stevenson is projected as the second place team from this league.

Lake

This will be an extremely competitive league between Gunn, Jefferson and Saratoga. Gunn is a slight favorite to end 10-0 and has only given up one touchdown through seven games.

West Valley

Gunderson’s win over Evergreen Valley makes them a prohibitive favorite to be the league’s sole play-off representative.

I'm falling back into my normal form, I see....

One of their opponents, Ontario Christian, features the top 2027 prospect, "Special K" Kaleena Smith.

Have a look, #11 on the Knights. Pretty amazing: Breakin' Ankles

WCAL88 gets the weekly win with a perfect week and THEOC89 is running away with the top prize. 3 weeks left in the contest.

A few that I have watched this fall is Dorrough from MT. He is legit 6-8 and has a big frame and soft hands. Don’t want to make any crazy predictions but he looks to be pretty special for a frosh. Weaver at Folsom and Phillips and Jesuit both looked good in games I saw.

STRAIGHTFOOTBALL said:

Huffman Does not issue Stars( rankings) that's Greg Biggins. Huffman does the stories ( hype) in some cases. Their are a Ton of D1 athletes in HS football that have Stats and Tape that Huffman does not subscribe too or report on. Huffman has a group of trainers and Coaches he subscribes too. It's unfortunately 💰 Game and these adults are screwing it up for the kids .

Huffman absolutely has a say in who gets stars! Agree Greg Biggins does as well. That process doesn't happen by a single person. 2nd stats don't matter when it comes to recruiting. Just because a player is good in high school and has great stats doesn't make him recruitable. Finally, Huffman's job on 247sports job is to report on recruitable kids. Typically that designation doesn't happen until AFTER a kid gets offers or at least shows out at a camp. It's not like Huffman is not magically creating offers simply by writing stories about random kids that have no offers.
