Zaire Collier (6-foot-3, 328 pounds) is a strong and athletic guard prospect. He gets off the ball well, can collapse defenders going down the line and controls his area with his overall size. He also clogs the middle on defense as an interior lineman. Collier competed as a shot putter this spring. He has an offer from New Mexico State.

DC took BP during their "baseball class" during the school day. BH was coming up early and DC invited BH to take BP also.

BH declined.

A BH admin took video of DC taking BP, which "live BP" is a violation of CIF rules. The section ruled that DC must forfeit. Technically, the ruling is correct.
But! If it is a part of a school class where they are getting a grade, they might have a case. They are appealing. Games 2 and 3 were moved to neutral sites on Thursday and Friday with no spectators in attendance - even the DC parents who did nothing.

Thursday at Laguna Creek (field is fine with covered dugouts, and plenty of grandstands even though they won't be needed) and Friday at Monterey Trail (field is a dump and dugouts are not covered, very little shade or places to sit).

Will be interesting to see what happens on the appeal.

I think they have a case. It's bad form but CIF typically doesn't govern what takes place during the school day.

Newark Memorial is looking for one (1) girls basketball JV home game on Friday, December 16, 5:30 pm, at Newark Memorial High School, 39375 Cedar Boulevard, Newark.

Open to hosting a girls JV, Frosh / Soph, or Frosh team. Open until filled.

If your team is available, contact Coach Darryl Reina at darryl14r@aol.com

Thanks!

Big pickup for the Tigers in landing Sangster, one of the top returners in NorCal, early in the process.

Please help me understand the thought process of determining the #1 seed in Division 4….

The VVAL had the #3, #4 and #8 teams in NCS D2. Justin-Siena did lose to each of those teams during the season but beat Casa Grande and Petaluma in the league tournament, beating Petaluma to win the championship Friday night(Petaluma was the league champion 11-1 and JSHS beat them 2x including the championship game). Justin was 9-0 versus D4, all other games versus higher division teams.

The Big 5 had the #9 seed in NCS Division 3 and the #11 and #13 seeds in Division 4. Arcata lost once to Eureka(#9 D3)and to Fortuna(#11 D4). They were the league champions and won their tournament.

My confusion comes with how they ranked other teams in the VVAL versus how the Big 5 teams were ranked in their NCS Divisions,

Please let me know what I’m missing …

Foothill beat DLS tonight 4-1 in the league playoff final to take the EBAL title. The visiting Falcons limited the regular season champion Spartans to just 2 hits. NCS pairings due out Sunday.

If your girls aren’t playing 3x3 they should be. USA basketball is investing time and money to the sport.

A few years ago Mitty was wining (I think) league. Going to the play offs and doing well. They had some good players and strength Center. It’s like they vanished.

Whitney scored five runs in the bottom of the seventh to beat St. Mary's-Stockton 5-4. Shane Saunders had two RBI for Whitney, which drew seven walks as a team.

Max Ortega had a home run for the Rams, which got four shutout innings from starter Michael Quendes.
