Starting a thread for my fellow apes, that wish to write Santa and ask for some Norcal Wishes. All ask are welcome, naughty or nice!

Tis' the season. 🎅🎄🪄🎁

Got here just in time!

CC opens the scoring with a steal and dunk, followed by a steal and layup. Now it’s 7-2 over Justin Siena.

And, since this is a los… ERRRR consolation bracket game, I’ll keep the updates to a minumum.

Boys have a super conference ..Runs for a
December to February… are the girls ready for it?

Boys NIBC

Not a surprise after he de committed from Arizona. He’s had a very good season.

In all fairness- Folsom did not earn the open bid prior to last night.

But it begs the question after the Folsom stunner and dominant defense in the win over DLS AT DLS.

Is NorCal sending its best team to the open this year?

Welcome all logical POVs

Arrived at Dublin HS a couple minutes ago, all ready for the action!

First game in a few minutes, Daugherty Valley vs. Woodside Priory of…. somewhere on the Peninsula, Portola Valley.. Priory’s player to watch is a 6’9 sophomore named Steve Emeneke.

Dougherty Valley beat Bishop O'Dowd 66-55. Ryan Beasley had 29 points.

Modesto Christian beat Durango 68-57.

St. Ignatius beat Monte Vista 61-50 to win the Peterich Tip Off Classic.

Was looking forward to see this game on NFHS today although SRV looks like they are missing several players with only 8 players in uniform.. Still going to watch.

Well. Well. Well.

So much for that boat race eh? @larry legend33 what a joke man. You owe Folsom a public apology. Especially as a local dude. Give it up.

This one is gonna sting for a long time Spartan Nation. This was a TWO loss SFL team that NO ONE gave 1 chance of beating Rocklin or going TO DLS and DOMINATING on defense to win that game.

Folsom now represents NorCal AGAIN in the 1AA State Title game.

I said it all along. DLS didn't deserve to be an OPEN team this year. The usual suspects tried to cry there way into it. As it turns out- DLS isn't even a 1AA rep this year.

LMFAOOOO!!!

Go Folsom!

How bout that WEAK SOFT PUBLIC SCHOOL DEFENSE NOW!?

The first night of action posted three blowouts

Mitty vs. Branson
Cardinal Newman vs. Encinal

Saturday's Schedule:

Damonte Ranch vs. Salesian
Encinal vs. Redwood
Branson vs. Pinole Valley
Cardinal Newman vs. Mitty

ponderosa vs oak ridge for champ.

Pondo beat granite bay by about 15 and OR beat Rio by 14.

OR looks much improved. Some solid offensive guard play. Pondo is going to be a force in d3. They still have a couple transfers out as well. I could see them going very far this year. Great guard play, legit 6”9 athletic center, and one of best coaching staffs around.

should be a solid game tonite against foothill neighbors.

Looking for some in depth knowledge.

Here's wishing you great hoops

It looks like there will be no rematch of St. Francis vs. DLS. I am just curious, what is the opinion on who would prevail if there were to match up again?

We had a team cancel. If you need a game let me know.
