NCP Pick'em Week 3 Games

Was hoping to see Marin Catholic vs St Mary’s Stockton on this this week’s pick’em. Calpreps projects a 14-13 game. Unfortunately, I’m still out of the country and won’t make it to the game. Doesn’t help that my internet connection on the cruise ship is terrible. Connected currently on land via phone network in Messina (Sicily), Italy, where it’s 11:07am. Bonjourno!
SM is going to obliterate MC, this is MC worst team in the Mozi era, they have not a single player on offense with speed and their QB is so bad, the second he senses any pressure he becomes one of the worst QBs in Northern California….the offensive line so down like 2-3 starters, their special teams are especially bad……their defense is tough but can’t contain SM too long when their offense and ST puts them in bad spots……this MC team is a 5-5 team and will only beat Tam in non league was surprised they didn’t work the transfer portal and bring in a RB with some speed

WCAL 2024-25 SEASON

The week 1 analysis of Riordan after the Mack game checks my suspicions of them which is offensively they are tremendous. They are going to win games by outscoring you. Mack ran for over 200 yards rushing. That says to me 1) not interested in playing defense and 2) you may put up 30+ points but we are going to put up 40. This is not going to work against Serra and St. Francis, the teams you are trying to get over.

But who cares!? Because the purple and gold only "do it for the gram" and post flashy offensive highlights!
i hope i dont get banned for pointing this out but in order to win a game you have to outscore your opponent. so thats everybody's gameplan. the only exception is ygnacio valley obviously they have a different plan. loL.!

Ricky Pearsall shot during robbery attempt

Yeah hard to ignore how far the great city of sf has fallen.
What an embarrasment to the Village of Tracy that one of its turds slides into SF, pulled an Abbot & Costello robbery, panics, shoots his uncooperative victim then shoots himself, trips over his saggy pants,drops his gun and loses his shoes in the process while trying to flee at walking speed.

PCAL Week 2

i hope i don't get banned for asking -but, how is salinas looking this year in terms of numbers and size?
I would imagine they sport one of the larger rosters in CCS. They have a top 5 enrollment in CCS and one of the bettter programs so numbers will never be down for them. For team size they are usually above average. They have a handful of big boys but overall the size isn't overwhelming by any means. I recall their JV team last year having some big kids.

Nor Cal Bigs

Following Prolific's above post, take a look at lists of D1 and NBA players from places like Oak Hill and Montverde, especially Oak Hill, since it's been around in the national scene for well over 50 years.

Have a look at Oak Hill's gym wall display...


While preps aren't the answer for every top prospect, they have been the best avenue for a lot of guys.

I think there is plenty of room on the hoops landscape for both national preps and standard high schools.

Ricky Pearsall shot during robbery attempt

Charging a 17 year old as a Minor who made a decision to Robb someone and shoot them with a gun trying to kill them is a complete joke…. That is attempted Murder…..

Only by the Grace of God is RP not dead…. What an embarrassment for the city of SF and a glaring reason why people should not feel safe in the city….
Yeah hard to ignore how far the great city of sf has fallen.

WCAL 2024-25 SEASON

i agree completely about mcclymonds having speed and talent, but the point still stands that they don't even have enough people to field a team. riordan is being hyped as a team that is supposed to compete with the likes of junipero serra this year. do you think for a second that serra would play a close game against a team with 18 players? as the kids say........boy aint no way boy. you should be able to wear them down and pull away in the second half. riordan couldnt do that which is a massive red flag.
I agree with your take on Riordan…. They seem overhyped…. I picked them high in the pick’em believing they would win by multiple scores based on all this D1 talent we have heard they have….

And unlike @SFcityfan wants everyone to believe, this was not some great comeback by Riordan, Riordan actually was up 14-0 in the game and Mac took the game over on them and Riordan was helped tremendously when an interception bounced off the Mac players hands and into the hands of the Riordan player in the end zone for a TD….

So yes, I don’t see Serra allowing Mac to play a close game and I don’t think there is anyway Riordan beats Serra without Serra self destructing…. Good news is they play so we will find out…. 🤣

WCAL 2024-25 SEASON

You Clearly know nothing about San Diego teams…. They have won 2 out of the Last 3 D1AA SBG’s and didn’t have the most talented teams…. Carlsbad Just had the Top QB recruit in the Country and ran a passing offense….

I saw Mac in person 3 weeks ago at a scrimmage and they have plenty of speed and talent, they will be a difficult game for anyone….
Mack’s new qb, Staples, is the real deal. He adds a different dimension with both his arm and legs compared to Mack’s recent run heavy offensive scheme.
