Hat tip to the Committee for deviating from Max Preps rankings. We've got an all-Private Open and and all-Public D1 and D2. The real beneficiaries here are the WBAL private schools that aren't Open-bound. ND San Jose is the #1 seed in D3. Menlo gets #1 in D4 and Casty #1 in D5.

MC 71-60 Franklin
Folsom over Vanden 76-37
Inderkum 71-52 Weston Ranch
Lincoln 77-43 Monterey Trail

Any one there today to provide updates? Apparently not broadcast on NFHS.

Like the weather, everyone complains about California's playoff system, but no one does anything about it.

Coaches, however, can start the reform process at their league meetings. Put together a proposal, have the coaches vote yes, and push it on to the ADs. Then you have to agitate a little bit to make sure that the ADs hand it off to the section office, and from there something can actually get done.

But without that first step at a coach's meeting, nothing will change.

18-16 Acalanes end of 1. Carr had first 10 points for Redwood.

Christmas is coming and nothing better than imagining the section playoff seedings. With the new format starting, it is shaping up to be very interesting. Especially interesting when we start to evolve into latter part of div 1 and all of div 2.

Cornerstone

Northgate has been handled by CVC twice, double digits.

Can the Broncos have some tricks up their sleeve, or will I be home before the 4th quarter starts?

8 minures before we begin finding out…

Boys game first, I’m sure due to traffic concerns…

CVC is 19-11, a record which would probably be more like 25-5 but for superstar health concerns…

They’ve had LOTS of those concerns…

Alameda is 21-6, hasn’t played quite as tough a scedule, imho…

Next weds 2/26

Seedings held true..

(3)CLET @ (2)SRV

(4)CN @ (1)Acalanes

Ok...going STRAIGHT BY MaxPreps and NOT taking into account H2H or common opponents. Also taking into account teams can only move up 2 levels max (unless OPEN)...

OPEN:
1. Acalanes....locked into the 1 unless theres a major upset.

2. SRV
3. CLET
Another matchup looms between these 2 hated rivals in their league playoffs championship. SRV won the 1st matchup and I honestly feel the winner of the NEXT matchup will get the 2 seed.

4. CN ..comfortably in 4 spot.

5. Piedmont
6. BOD
BOD won the 1st matchup and # 2 is tomorrow 2/5. Again i feel the winner of tomorrow's game will be the 5 seed.

* now here's the interesting situation...if BOD loses 2/5 then Eureka may take that 6th open spot. Eureka is currently #7 in the section and ONLY 1 SPOT BEHIND BOD in the state rankings so in other words RIGHT ON THEIR HEELS READY TO PASS.

*Eureka has no business being in the NCS Open but as we saw with San Marin in football the seeding committee doesn't care.

D1.
1. Eureka
2. CVC
3. Calif
4. Redwood

Girls NCS

It's definitely been hit or miss, but that's the list at NFHS as of two minutes ago.

The NCS should expand the Open to 8 teams and play pool play like the CCS does.

The NCS has 25 slots for the Norcals...

It should be:

8 Open (4 games guaranteed for every team in sections)

D1. 3
D2. 3
D3. 3
D4. 3
D5. 3
D6. 2

There's your 25 spots

D6 never fills out the bracket. 10 teams this year and 4 go? Nope. They shouldn't get 4 teams moving on.

With 8 Open getting automatic bids it guarantees our best teams move on to Norcals. Just my opinion.

CCS Boys games Fri

There's the list, maybe some will actually get online...

Friday in Sac

LOTS of games up there, maybe some will actually show up....

St. Ignatius has stay in house and has promoted offensive coordinator JuJuan Lawson to succeed Lenny Vandermade.

Battle of 680 who wins tonight?

I found Riordan and Mitty's schedules so far.
