A win by Mack over SRV and if Pitt either wins or stays within 2 scores could solidify the SOS that Riordan played in non-league.

the mack srv game can do nothing to impact riordan. saint francis beat mack by way more than riordan the game was never close. and everybody already has riordan solidly number 3 in the west catholic league behind serra and saint francis. so number 3 they will remain until the games get played in person.

the good thing about this league is that it all gets decided on the field though.

The entire WCAL league has a bye this week. But what games could move the rankings within the league?
1. JS - Although not expected, a win or close loss by Rocklin vs Folsom could change opinions about Serra. But it probably wouldn't move Serra from #1.
2. SF - A win by Mack over SRV would strengthen St. Francis's #2 spot.
3. AR - Wins by Riordan opponents probably won't raise AR to #2. but another loss by SB, this time to Oak Hills, could give SI the go ahead above AR.
4. SI - St. Ignatius needs Mack to beat SRV to make a possible #3 argument. CC of SDS win over Helix will have no merit.
5. AM - Not much can change Mitty's #4 ranking this week.
6. VC - No games this week will change Valley Christian's ranking upward.
7. SHC - No result should move SHP from #7.
8. BCP - enough said.

Comparing SM to last year‘s team is night and day. SM team of last year would lose to this DLS team by 21 but I could see this game being a little closer than people expected. DLS will just eat the clock and dominate the line of scrimmage.

de la salle will not have to chew the clock because there track star rb's can take it to the house from anywhere. they will break off quite a few long td's especially once saint marys gets tired.

What this comes down to is that different schools have different strengths, and occasionally those strengths change, and that depends on many things. In Bellarmine's case, football fell out of favor (apparently) and other things, such as robotics, have taken over.

the issue is that the robo nerds are standing on the shoulders of the athletic giants that made the school what it is (serra and de la salle are examples - struggled with enrollment, decided to emphasize elite sports, now have waiting lists larger than there current enrollment) and then trying to steal the resources from athletics and claiming there are "more important" things. when the truth is these schools would either be closed, under enrolled, or barely able to exist without sports in the first place.

you can find plenty of private schools with sports and no robotics, but you can't find one with robotics and no sports. the nerds need to remember this and stop biting the hand that literally feeds them and provides the materials for there precious robots.

The Archdiocese of San Francisco owns four high schools: Marin Catholic, SHC, Riordan, and Serra. Although the Archdiocese owns them, the schools themselves are responsible for managing their budgets and raising funds. There is almost no financial support from the Archdiocese.

Further removed are schools like Mercy and Notre Dame. They are owned by the Sisters of Mercy and Sisters of Notre Dame de Namur, respectively. Other WCAL schools:

SI: Society of Jesus
Bellarmine: Society of Jesus
St. Francis: Brothers of the Holy Cross
Mitty: Diocese of San Jose
VC: Not Catholic, so I’m unsure

Early in the 1990s, Serra's enrollment was drooping. There was a move to make it coed. The Archdiocese put the kibosh on the notion, fearing that one of the two all-female Catholic schools in San Mateo County might have to close. A coed Serra is not a concern now. The school had about 875 boys enrolled when the current semester began in mid-August. About one-quarter of them play football. The sport has become a major enrollment boost. A final papal note from the Peninsula: Way back in the early 1960's, a Catholic high school was planned for South San Francisco. If memory serves, Bishop Alemany High School was supposed to be coed. It didn't happen. In retrospect, that was a wise move.

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.

those playoff "wins" your talk about literally prove my point. i call those "inbred wins" because there all the result of monte rey teams crying there way to a lower division and then using that to guarantee mostly playing against each other. the only team from outside monterey they beat was mitty, and as i already mentioned they are not one of the real teams in the west catholic league.

i mean seriously. lets look what happens when monte rey teams have to leave there zip code if you want to use the playoffs.

open division: salinas vs serra 47-7 cannon fodder
division 1: zero teams from that league because they won't play in it.

that's the end of the discussion right there.

gabilan teams do not play in the highest level of competition full stop. therefore that league cannot be considered among the best.

meanwhile tri city league now composes of teams who all play at the highest two divisions of competition in there section (only exception is kimball in the past but they are now division 2) and do not duck from competition.

until the gabilan agrees to compete at the division 1 level they are not one of the top leagues.

how can you claim that it is a top league but at the same time admit that they do not play in the highest divisions in a section that uses competitive equity?

make it make sense.

i said the west catholic leagues real teams. valley christian is not in that category.

if you want to go with salinas as your example how about instead of talking about meaningless preseason games talk about the playoffs. here you go this is what it looks like:

47-7 cannon fodder
57-21 cannon fodder
35-31 cannon fodder
did not make playoffs
26-20 cannon fodder lost to OAK GROVE lol
45-27 cannon fodder (only made second round because they got to play a team from monterey in first round)

meanwhile if you want to compare against saint marys (your choice not mine):
17-6 lost in section championship in close game
51-50 lost in first round. literally BEAT DE LA SALLE this year.
51-48 lost in semifinals of a 12 team bracket
did not make playoffs but came within one score of ending dls norcal streak
28-21 loss
52-7 second round loss. cannon fodder

notice all of saint marys losses except one are in extremely close games, in LATER rounds of the playoffs or championship games. and they beat teams from outside their area code to get there.

also. salinas has to play serra, they duck to a lower division or get beat by 50 every time they can't. saint marys chooses to play de la salle and BEATS them or plays them close.

there is no comparison. again you picked these teams as representatives of there leagues not me. happy to break it down for you using different teams if you wish also to show why your league isn't on the list yet.
