Very impressive win for Inderkum, which only has a loss to Mission Bay.

On baseball HoF ballot for 1st time and early ballot returns pointing that CC will be inducted in 2025.
3 sport star out of Vallejo in the 90's.

first game features my Campolindo Cougars playing on 12 hours rest vs a 5-12 Irvington..

Nice pickup for the Hornets early in the recruiting process.

Mitty at Riordan
Mitty finds itself in an unfamiliar position, riding a two game losing streak (albeit to two nationally-ranked teams). And tonight it faces what may be its toughest test in the WCAL in Archbishop Riordan. Riordan comes in at 11-4. It plays solid defense and has the size and ballhandling to give Mitty a game if things break right for them.

Carondelet at Dublin
C-Let is 14-4 after holding off a valiant comeback effort to top Salesian 64-63 last night. Dublin is 13-2 against a softer schedule but they draw a nice crowd to their loud gym, and maybe they'll catch C-Let on an off night.

SI at St. Francis
St. Francis has shown glimpses of excellence this season, but needs to win some WCAL games against upper echelon teams. SI has had an up and down year, but hung with Mitty a week ago.

Congrats to Kelly Sopak on reaching 500 wins!

With a win tonight on MLK Day versus Salesian, Kelly notches this huge accomplishment.

Way to go Sopak…

In a matchup of two of the top teams in the state, St. Joseph saw its 16 point second half lead evaporate before scoring the final six points to beat Modesto Christian 67-62.

The Knights led 35-25 at the half and eventually led 48-32 before taking a 56-42 lead into the fourth. Then Modesto Christian started on a 16-0 run to start the fourth including 11 straight points from Long Beach State bound senior Gavin Sykes.

Baylor bound Tounde Yessoufou had a game high 27 points and 10 rebounds.

Sykes stands out

The 6-foot-4 Sykes was very good in going for 25 points and competing with some success on defense against Yessoufou. He made four 3s and scored on a variety of drives using good footwork and his strength to score in the paint. He also showed his playmaking ability and made some plays at the rim on both ends.

Sykes came into the season at No. 9, but looked ready for a bump up after Monday’s performance.

Modesto Christian has a pair of Sophomore Shooters

Trevor Dickson (6-foot-1) and Elijah Payne (6-foot-4) had their moments in the loss to St. Joseph. Dickson had 14 points with three made 3s including a four point play to make it 62-58. Payne had eight points with a pair of threes and a mid-range jumper.

Both players have quick releases and can handle some to create space.

Knights’ size wins out

St. Joseph’s size was a key in their win with nearly all of their 15 two point shots coming at the rim and very few second chance opportunities thanks in large part to Yessoufou. Add this to the nine threes they made and the Knights will be a formidable matchup if they are sent to NorCal for regionals.

Riordan would be the best matchup with their size and overall guard play.

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.
