menlo and atherton are way too far away from the schools in the gabilan league. los gatos is actually geographically fees able.

No idea what you're talking about. There head coach was there (coach Graces) he did peace after the season but was there in the playoffs. Who was injured? I know tlsome Kimball people and respect the program and they will tell you Patterson was simply better last year.

the coach kimball had last year was already checked out by the time they got to playoffs there’s a reason he dipped immediately after the final whistle he already was gone they were missing multiple leaders and starters also. patterson was good last year don’t get me wrong that goes to my original point though they are not HISTORICALLY strong and only time will tell how long this little run of there’s (which has resulted in zero sectiont titles) will last.

simply put they are not a good fit for the valley oak league and do not raise the profile of the league. this is not meant as disrespect, as the coaches there are great guys who run a very good program and do right by there kids and community.

kimball shouldn’t of even been in that matchup due to injuries and not having a coach i wouldn’t consider that indicative of anything other than a one time deal

with all do respect, the gabilan has no place in this discussion. they have multiple severely negative teams on cal preps. several other aggressively mediocre ones. and then a couple teams on top that are good but are nothing but absolute cannon fodder in the first round of the playoffs.

until they can find a way to convince ccs to let los gatos in the league they are second tier in a good year and c tier most other years.

MOlST AND PLUMP said:

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.

The Diablo Foothill is not a great league/division. There are no really bad teams, but no really good teams, either.

Tri-City has St. Mary's, whose rating brings up the rest of the league, but there's not much behind the Rams. Edison has played 3 good teams, but they weren't really competitive against any of them. They very well may lose to Downey this weekend, too.

Windsor hasn't beaten anyone of consequence out of the Redwood Empire Adobe, nor has San Marin. We'll see what happens when they finally have to play Marin Catholic and Cardinal Newman.

PCAL-Gabilan is arguably better than Diablo-Foothill, with two teams at, or above, the level of Las Lomas.

SJS starts a week earlier,,, Would make sense to make the elig. date a week earlier... But this is the CIF we're talking about here.

Not really fake news. Technically the school closed and reopened under "new management" leaving the Santa Rosa Diocese and becoming independent. The story did get blown up a little bit too much, as there was always a plan to reopen after the separation. I thought the Newman Conspiracy theories were fantastic.

It is great to see it continuing to be successful!!!

St. Vincent de Paul High School announces plans to separate from parish

The Petaluma school will remain Catholic but not part of the St. Vincent Parish, according to school officials.

the title of the thread was "saint vincent depaul TO close" not "saint vincent depaul MAY close" that makes a huge difference. it was posted as if it was already a very fide fact when the truth is that it wasnt. lots of people were harmed by the deceiving thread that was posted and we as a community need to be much better about misrepresenting facts and spreading run away gossip and in you endo.

especially because the thread was started by somebody with a vested interest in a rival school.

Maybe I am mistaken but I thought all CIF had the same date for eligibility. I had looked at it last year so I only assume it was the same this year.

this was absolute fake news propaganda. aged like milk. just to update, saint vincent d. paul is still open, is absolutely thriving, are playing excellent ball, and are the odds-on favorite to win a section title and possible regional this year.

the fact that mountain house and oakdale are in the same league is a sick joke by the sjs. this is not fair at all to either program. waste of a week.
