Week 5 Scores

Yeah if they are a legit top 4 team in NCS I don't see how they wouldn't be put in the NCS Open/D1 at end of year. Lots of football to be played and Pleasant Valley, Windsor, and MC will all be challenging games. But right now Newman seems to be seperating themselves a little. If they get pulled into Open and win a game or 2 but don't prevail in the lower bracket are they done for season? I guess that is the big ? I have.
My guess is that should they get pulled up, they’d likely be the 3rd or 4th seed, and be on the other side of the bracket than DLS. They’d have to win that bracket and then beat whoever the 2 seed was that loses to DLS in order to advance. So likely they’d have to beat both SRV & Pitt. A tall order, but you never know. For their sake, they’re better off not making the Open.

WCAL 2024-25 SEASON

Bishop O’Dowd was overrated to start the season along with many other teams.
yes they are i was just pointing out that mack clymonds beat them because that guy said they were 0-3.

speaking about o dowd - hopefully one day these schools learn that hiring a “coach” with no resume simply because they played in the nfl is a guaranteed way to ensure that your program will absolutely suck for at least 5 years. it never works. looking at you too dublin saint marys berkeley etc cetera.

The question is if CN runs the table (as it looks like a distinct possibility, can they be put into the Open/D1 division for NCS? I would doubt it, but isn’t that what an Open Division is for? I know, this one was created so that runner ups to DLS can get to NorCal/state games.

Top 5 Leagues

Where are they to put them? They out grew their leage. They are ACTUALLY a D3 team in a D3 league. Kimball was the only D3 team by enrollment. 3 of the top 10 most successful programs in section. The VOL has been tough league since I was in high school. In my day. Bronze Age. VOL had Tracy, St Mary's and Lincoln. VOL traditionally year in year out tough..
Oh and your prediction Sierra and Mountain House not making play offs? Sierra knocked off East Union.
they should’ve of got put in a league with downey, escalon, and turlock and then some filler teams local to them. imagine how strong of a league that could be.

the last time kimball played against patterson kimball put up 60. and kimball has literally never lost to patterson.

and your ignoring the fact that mountain house got added to the league and they are going to be an anchor on the league, as they have yet to find any stability or success as a program and don't look like they will any time soon.

Other notes that I know people are talking about .... My Cardinal Newman squad looks pretty good.
Beating the life out of ODOWD 56-0 was a big statement. This is coming off a dominant 28-10 win over a solid Vacaville team who nearly beat Granite Bay earlier in the year. This will be a team that has legit bowl aspirations. A few key players you will be reading about.

QB Tino Retamoza 6"2 210 Freshman. Dad was a stud for newman back in the day. This kid will be a terror.
WR/DB- Zion Cargill- 6"0 175 Soph- Athletic WR/DB. Sister was a stud hooper for CN a few years back and played in college.
RB- Jamari Gentry 5"11 175 - SR. - Kid might have some of the best stats in norcal this year at RB. Averaging over 25 yards a carry.
DE Jesse Myers 6"3 255 SR Oregon State Committ a monster all over.
DT/T Kahlio Vaetoe 6"4 290 Soph - Will be a power 5 recruit.

Right now my top 4 NCS
DLS
Pitt (Pitt might be a lot closer to DLS than we think or better)
San Ramon Valley
Newman

Top 5 Leagues

I didn't go with Salinas as my main example, although any claims that they don't play teams outside of the CCS has been demonstrated to be blatantly false. Incidentally, they'll also be playing Arroyo Grande out of the Central Section later this year, making 3 intersection games this season.

Nor did I use St. Mary's. By the way, "sans" means without. Pick up a dictionary sometime. Yes. St. Mary's beat DLS. Great. But wasn't that a "meaningless" pre-league game?

The 6 wins against teams rated >15 came in the playoffs for the Gab last year. Those games were from 3 teams. Aside from St. Mary's (which was the point of me mentioning them, as it's clear that went way over your head), no one else from the Tri-City has done much of anything against anyone else of consequence, whether that be in pre-league or in the playoffs. One team does not make a great league.

Just admit you don't know what you're talking about instead of embarrassing yourself further.
okay fine let’s do this weeks results.

saint mary’s: took de la salle TO THE ABSOLUTE LIMIT

salinas and the rest of the gabilan: stayed in monterey county and beat up on weaker local teams in lower divisions

but the gabilan is supposed to be a top caliber league. when all there teams compete in lower level playoff divisions in a section that uses competitive equity.

make it make sense.

If Ene was bigger he would be a 4-5 star. In his youth he played for the OG Ducks in SoCal, one of the top teams in the country. He’s a hell of a player but will get held back by his height imo.
Without a doubt. Go watch these so called 4 and 5 star kids and ENE at the HS level and tell me who does more for there teams.
I would be hard pressed to find a better all around HS player. He should land at a Wazzu type and do just fine.

I got lucky and went to one of the better games of the night. Jesuit vs Granite Bay under light in Carmichael. New stadium and lights are fantastic and atmosphere was awesome. Totally different feel. As for the game. Granite Bay prevailed 30-17 but it was closer than score indicated. 2 key turning points. In first have Jesuit was down 14-10 in 2nd and Rios throws a pick 6. Ouch... Jesuit goes down 21-10. Then late in the 4th Jesuit is down 24-17 and has the ball on the GB 1 yard line and GB comes up with a goal line stand for ages. GB scored late on a miffed punt TO by Jesuit. Excellent game overall and GB is a tough team. #1 Isaiah Ene for GB might be the best all around player in Sacramento this year. He was amazing. Jesuit had no answers for him. Not sure many teams will.

rancho cotate 37 freedom 0.

on freedoms home coming.

what in the world is happening at freedom? this should not be happening.

someone please explain what is happening that a team with that talent is 0-4 and getting running clocked by a below average team. please make it make sense

What is going on with Casa Grande, not playing solid games became a monster to San Marin loosing 39-37 , just shows that any thing can and will happen.
Casa Grande has been up and down since for at least a decade. Prior to that they had a decade of being a top caliber team north of the golden gate.

One of the few publics in Sonoma Co. with a wealthier/mix socioeconomic student enrollment and 3 levels of football. Marin/SF families moving in to the area. They should be good.
