McManus named new football coach at CN

Don’t bet the house on it. Their league schedule does them no favors. If you wants to build up your calluses to do battle with DLS, you need to find a way to join the WCAL. Maybe replace SHC.
This is not likely going to happen. I’ve heard this suggested for nearly 50 years.

Just do not see it ever happening, although the Novato Narrows expansion is almost complete 60 years later so there is a slight chance 🤣

St. Mary's-Stockton wins Boras Classic, extends win streak to 15 games

Yes, of course Granada should be there too. I overlooked them since they were not in a tournament this week. But they have faired well with other top teams. They should be in the top 5.
Great list!!…. Granada went 3-1 in the Big National Tournament in North Carolina…. I would put them in the top 2 in Nor Cal…..

They reality is, any of these teams can beat the other on any given day, and the playoffs in Nor Cal should be fantastic!!…. I think ST Mary’s may have the most overall talent….

It’s crazy not having DLS in the top 5, but I would say their pitching depth keeps them on the outside…. After their #1 guy, the rest of their pitching is a crapshoot…. And their much heralded USC committed transfer from CVC has not been good at all…. He can’t throw strikes and has pitched only 2 innings so far in blow out games….

Katley and Tofi

I was just talking to a very close friend in Southern California. And told her how both Division 3 state title runner ups and champs played with LeBron being her and I are going to the game in LA tomorrow. And I had to laugh for a minute. Who at THE R played with 40 year old Lebron. Now don’t get it twisted I know a fella who played on the same AAU team from Riordan with Jason Kidd. But did anyone else play with such dynamic talent. Two state D3 title winners played with LeBron period. And Leon period. And Kendrick period. So take your history, shove it, and for all of us STFU. Your kid and anyone after has never come close to such per pre Prolific era. SO AGAIN STFU.

Sincerely, THE HIGH SCHOOL WIZARD.

Joey Curtin I applaud you for doing what you do. We all know coaching kids at such a capacity is not easy. But you stepped up and have tried hard as hell. But do yourself a favor. Get rid of the poisonous clowns sitting behind you. You don’t need. Riordan has always been a very reputable school on the level of basketball and you literally have a village idiot who literally thinks he knows more than even you. Eliminate the BS and continue to teach the kids. I will always respect that. Get back at it. And don’t stop. But eliminate the village idiots asap.

Looks who is back... But for some reason I have a different ID. I'm a mess.
But huge hire. Thanks for the kind words and Go Newman! If you think about Newman Football they are closing the gap on east bay teams. The took a very good SRV team to the wire last year in the Open. Mcmannus won't get LA type kids but if the Anderson brothers from Windsor played at Newman the last few years they would have been battling Pitt. They aren't that far away. You get a few transfers and pull some kids who are dealing with messy SR school district issues and they will be competing with DLS. No doubt in my mind. Might not beat them but they will belong.

Not in favor of installing dorms for athletic purposes or mining other programs for transfers. That is the fare of an outlaw program.
Wouldn’t have to be strictly for athletics. Exchange students from various countries and parts of the Bay Area and state can use them. I know Bellarmine used to have boarding students. I’ve heard Riordan has or does. General student use. Daily commutes from certain parts of the Bay Area could be inconvenient, to say the least. I’m not talking about a strictly athletic dorm in the D1 college sense

Valley Christian is on the upswing after All Faiths Classic Championship

Valley Christian started 6-0 with wins over Buchanan and Elk Grove, but then went on a three game losing streak including a two game sweep to St. Francis-Mountain View. Since then, they have gone 9-1-1 with a split against Serra. The latest stretch was capped off by a 10-7 win over nationally ranked Archbishop Moeller (Ohio). Colton Hadfield had four RBI and Hunter Fujimoto had three RBI in the win. Rohan Kasanagottu went six innings and gave up four runs with nine strikeouts. This performance came after he tossed three shutout innings in the opener.

Brock Ketelsen, who got the start in game one, hit his fourth home run of the season and had seven RBI over the four game event.

Quinten Marsh is one of the region's top two-way players and has now hit safely in 12 of 13 games.

The Warriors have won five of hte past six CCS Open/Division I titles and are tracking to be one of the teams to beat.

Irish 2025 Football Schedule

That game will be a mismatch. Last season a young Palma team (started 8 sophs) defeated the Irish 28-19 in the CCS playoffs. Probably a 20+ underdog to a Folsom team with an elite QB (and upcoming season Palma team while will be better than last season is probably 20+ underdog as well). Great the Irish will schedule a top program but more questionable that Folsom scheduled that game. You would think the Irish my schedule a little more level so as to have a shot at winning more for playoff points. Nice sightseeing and experience for the Dogs playing at historical Kezar

St. Mary's-Stockton wins Boras Classic, extends win streak to 15 games

SM is hot right now and is likely the lead team of the NorCal core leaders. The top five teams might look like this -
St. Mary's
Valley Christian
Rocklin
De La Salle
Cardinal Newman
Serra

Of course the season's results of each team may impact the best rankings and standings of the NorCal placement.
I like your top four and the Granada in some order. Serra would be in the mix too. Good balance across sections this year

Larry told me he lost his password and can't remember it to log on! If Streak One could reach out to him on his email with a link to change his password that would be great! Thanks
Yeah I scanned the obits in SR and EDH and didn’t see him in there so I figured he was still around 😂.

Openings

She could have set her sights on winning the league title. These days it seems it’s easier to win section or state than a league title. Redwood beat them all 3 times.
What kind of kompromat does MC have on the seeding committee? After winning THEIR FOURTH STRAIGHT SECTION TITLE (D2) they get DROPPED down to D3 for the State Playoffs. Pretty advantageous seeding one may say 🤷

St. Mary's-Stockton wins Boras Classic, extends win streak to 15 games

An 0-3 start with one total run is fully in the rear view mirror for St. Mary’s-Stockton (17-4) extended its win streak to 15 games after beating Rocklin 6-1 for the Boras Classic North title.

St. Mary’s came into the tournament ranked No. 3 in NorCal and boasted a strong one-two punch at the top of the rotation with Tanner Grove and Nico Bavaro. In a tournament like this, your pitching depth is tested and the Rams responded with Giani Camacho, Jacob Korbrin and Minh Vu combining on a four hitter in the semifinal win over St. Ignatius. Then, Jeremy Krause got the start in the championship game with 5.1 innings of one run ball.

Junior Dax Hardcastle has been the offensive standout for the Rams with three home runs over the four tournament games and a near .500 average over the season.

The Rams have seven games left in the regular season with two three game series against Lodi and Lincoln-Stockton and a solo game against Cardinal Newman. They beat the Cardinals 8-1 in the opening game of the Boras Classic.

Just a @TheR thought off season,…

SI getting a 200 mil expansion puts them in the same conversation as Riordan and Uni. Meanwhile my alma mater is building a brand new Pool…because nothing is more necessary in the city of SF than a pool.

You put 2 International Kids on Uni next year to pair with Lau and the other guard and they will be right there with every team in SF, except maybe Riordan. But I’d love to see that game next year.

Look international students are awesome for the sport. A lot of these kids couldn’t get the exposure in their home countries. Could you imagine if Tounde stayed in Benin. My mom is a travel agent and she had never heard of Benin before.

That kid took a D5 program and turned them into a powerhouse in CA, one of the most difficult places to play basketball.

That’s all these schools need to do. Is find the next guy.

Personally I think the dude Pihtovs maybe the most underrated 2026 not just in CA but in the entire country. Riordan has done a top tier job with the international recruits
to be fair... most people in america have never heard of half of the african countries...
