Week 4 Score Thread

Heritage has had a significantly better record sine Hartwig left freedom for Heritage, so yes, it is coaching…..

Having multiple coaches in a short period of time is a bad sign for Freedom…. Usually when this happens, programs take a step back or 2 and talented kids are open to other options…. HSFB programs need consistency and all the top ones have long time coaches….

And when you are as successful a Coach as Hartwig and you have been somewhere for a long time, you don’t leave unless there is some kind of conflict within the administration…. I believe his last team there was a Section Finalist, it’s not like they stunk….

So who knows, it may be complicated or it may just be as simple as Freedom is no longer getting the “Jimmies and Joe’s”…. 🤣
mater dei is the best program in America and they have had three coaches in three years and there is a high likelihood have a fourth next year, they won state last year and will win it again this year so that doesn’t quite track.

looking at the historical record it looks like hartwig had a slightly above .500 record at freedom so its not like he was a world beater. there has to be something else going on. we need to get to the bottom of this, it is important because this program is too important to East bay football for this to be allowed to continue. heads need to roll until freedom is back to being elite.

Did you see Riordan run for over 300 on Pitt last night? My point is they can run the football if they so choose to.
Riordan provides some challenging matchups for defenses this year. If you load the box, that leaves their WRs in one on one situations. If you just play 5 or 6 in the box in order to cover the spread, that OLine will open holes for Jones. Having up to 6 starters out the past 2 games has given the young sophs and freshman valuable playing time. The defense should shore up as the season progresses and players return. I don't think there are any transfers this year. @THEOC89 is correct, Riordan will see the likes of SI, Serra and SF soon enough. Perhaps even twice as the top teams will most likely see each other in the CCS playoffs.

Sounds like you have a Freedom issue to resolve.

they have had several coaches sense then they can’t all have been terrible plus hartwig did absolutely nothing when he left freedom to go to heritage they did not improve at all so it has to be something else. what is really going on there?

Coaching issues…, Ever Since Hartwig left they have never been the same…. They used to be a Section title contender every year and since COVID they can barley win a few games a year….

Anyone interested in the Serra/John Bosco game streaming...

bosco is way down this year. lots of kids having to go both ways and nowhere near the size as normal they also weren’t as fast as advertised, respectable showing by serra and to keep it 100 I think that DLS would either play bosco close or beat them this year. Too bad for them though that maaterdei will be the so cal open rep.
Everyone said the same thing about SJB last year, Especially when they last to Kahuku….. And what happened?…. They Shut out MD a few weeks later 28-0….

DLS is too one dimensional to beat SJB…. We will find out about SJB in the upcoming weeks, JSERRA, RSM, OLU and MD are coming up for them….

Looking forward to PITT vs SJB…. Really interested to see if PITT can put up points on them….

we all saw it we just didn’t get the notice of when pit became some paragon of defense they have never been able to stop the run against anyone with a pulse if they could then at some point they would’ve not got the clock run on them against dls

Totally!..,. Serra did some good things in that game, and they are overall a young team when it comes to playing experience….

And look at so cal…. Sierra Canyon lost to SJB 38-28…. Cen10 lost to them 43-42 in the playoffs…. OLU just beat SFA, Rancho Santa Margarita just beat Cen10…..

If you don’t play those types of teams you will never understand how to beat them…. Serra wants to go back to the Open and win, to do that, you have to play a great schedule that includes either MD, SJB or another National Power…. And they have done that…..

The only teams that will Challenge Serra in league are SF and Riordan…. Based on what Serra did to Folsom, I think Riordan is out…. SF will be a bigger challenge due to their running game….

Kudos to Serra for Playing this game,… Let’s go PITT!!!….

Tells Serra where they need to be to be elite. A ways to go, but a young team. If they play these elite games, it will most likely draw better players over time as long as they can keep winning the WCAL and going far in the playoffs and state.

Acalanes Game Replaced

Aca was going to go up to play Galena in Reno this weekend, but that game was canceled due to the Davis Fire. Galena's been shut down all week, and their team has had no practice.

They will play at Del Oro instead.
That's where my son graduated which is off of the Mt Rose highway and they have had fire issues in the past. Hopefully, it doesn't get too close to Montreux Country Club homes.

Galena has never been a great football school (average in their league at best). Different story with Lacrosse where they have competed for state championships, but otherwise more Academic focus. Great STEM program.

Anyone interested in the Serra/John Bosco game streaming...

Serra scored more points today (16) then They have in 3 state open games (7)…. That’s a Win for Serra…. 🤣

Watching Serra’s Defense give up 95 points combined to DLS and SJB makes you really wonder how is the Heck did Folsom only score 19 on Serra?…. Folsom’s offense seems very overrated and their schedule is straight garbage….

Will be interesting to see how PITT does against SJB next week…. PITT should be able to score on SJB, but their defense will be the issue….

So Glad to see Serra and PITT taking on this challenge….. Kudos to Serra for putting together the Best Schedule in Nor Cal and PITT right behind them….

Nor Cal Bigs

I highly recommend everyone that is a skeptic to visit a Prolific Prep, Montverde, Link Prep basketball practice. Then please come back to this thread and report back. I think that would be a great idea for someone to do.

If any skeptic would like to come to Prolific Prep next week. ProlificPrepInfo@gmail.com. Practice is at 5pm.

Last week had head coaches from Oregon, Baylor, Kentucky, UCLA, Kansas, Iowa, West Virginia, USC (not assistant but head coaches) who would disagree with what is said on this thread. And don’t forget these same folks place their committed recruits with the top prep schools because they want them prepared when they enter college.

Another factor that most people look over is that a lot of these colleges are then visiting other NorCal high schools only because they’re in town looking at Prolific Prep and GSP. The local high schools really respect Prolific Prep and GSP because they know we are assisting local kids looks for their guys but everyone on here are probably disregards that very important fact. Especially mid majors which do not have huge budgets, but if they can come here and look at 10 potential players and then visit some local high school talent, it makes sense for their budget to make the trip.
they wont understand.
Tuesday's my trivia night in Half Moon Bay (except during basketball season). Besides, I've never been to ANY basketball practice, so I wouldn't know what I'm looking at, really...
damn!!! you all the way out there too!!! this man be MOVING

New Offers

This one carries confirmation of a prior rumor.

Ze'ni Patterson 2027 G from Mitty (formerly from Heritage) received an offer from Pacific. So Mitty will be adding at least two top transfers from rather far away.

WCAL 2024-25 SEASON

They might have made the score closer than it was. For whatever reason Evans did not change his defensive approach and just let Wilcox fullback/halfback dive SH to death. They must have known Wilcox was a run heavy team that is not a legitimate threat to throw the ball. 8 in the box or Bears 46 alignment probably wouldve been the better choice. Welp, they get a bye week to get healthy for a shootout at the jolly rancher.
Crusaders have a new wrinkle to their offense in Jeremiah Jones @ rb. He’s been averaging over 100yards/game and gashed a stout and fast Pitt D for 300+ yds last night. WRs/DBs Lawson and Nash along with LB Tiatia and a rising soph rb should be ready in 2 weeks.

I haven't heard anything. I didn't know they were out.
