Looking again at the schedules of both teams, maybe I’m being a bit optimistic regarding EC’s chances…. The Gauchos haven’t faced anyone even near the level of the Spartan’s opponents, and except for St. Mary’s Stockton, Sparty has won all quite comfortably. Still, ya gotta play the game…

No Carr or Emeneke at Riordan?

So Riordan looked like the team to beat on paper and now all of a sudden their two biggest pieces will be not eligible and playing at Redwood.

Riordan still has Bush, Hillman l, Tofi Jr (Cal football commit) and a great little freshman in Jack Loevener but are they the best non-prep team in the Bay Area still?
STILL? Are you referring to being best on paper? Last year they were also supposed to be the best. I think DLS, Salesian, and MC would have given them a run for their money (and probably won) even with TT and Emeneke. Individual stars and iso basketball don't necessarily make a great team.
