7th Grade Boys




Requirements: West Coast Xtreme is looking for Boys who prioritize Basketball as their sport of choice. Coaches are looking to build teams that will grow and develop together. Anyone interested in trying out must have some prior experience playing on a team in an organized league. We are not a recreational program.

AAU demands a higher level of play, coaches are looking to build on the skills players have already and take them to a higher level. If you want to play for Xtreme you must commit to practice at least twice a week and be available to play two tournaments per month.

The past couple of years there has been a one day event in I believe Carson, Ca. where unoffered high school seniors can show what they got in front of D2, D3 and NAIA coaches? It seems there was a bigtime division 1 coach spearheading the event. Does anyone know if, when and where this will take place this year? Thanks in advance.

I finally got a chance to see Ionescu play on a pre-recorded game against Dublin. Have already seen McDonald in person.
Pleasantly surprised by Ionescu and entertained, which is what I want watching kids play that aren't mine.
This is really just a Bird vs Magic type conversation(not because of race or speed). They are just too different. Ionescu reminds me of Sara James from back in the day, and I didn't expect her to have that much speed, push the ball in transition and drop dimes, knock down 3s. Both look like they played against boys alot and should be fine in college, but for way different reasons and need different systems. McDonald is faster by orders of magnitude, but Jordin Canada was super successful with less speed.

Per MaxPreps, this game is no longer on the schedule.

Per Twitter, . . SMHS asst Girls BBall Coach Don Williams " Tomorrow's games vs Sacred Heart for Freshman, JV and Varsity have all been cancelled."

Anyone know why? I was looking forward to this game. I realize SHC is not the same team as last year. But, they sure did play SMS tough in the playoffs.

Week 4 (week record)

1. St. Ignatius(1-1) loss on road at St. Francis not surprising. A home win v. Serra would steady ship.
2. Mission (2-0). Match Burton 3's and crowd and found some badly needed post presence.
3. University- (2-0) Did'n't help or hurt themselves this week. Devil's Den awaits rematch with LW.
4. Riordan (0-3). At some point, team has to learn to win a close game. Injuries exposing lack of depth.
5. L.W. (2-1) Humbled v. Urban; this week does not get much better. Tittering at 5.
6.Stuart Hall(0-0) Good week off. will it pay dividends in tough matches v. Urban and L.W.
7. Urban (2-0). Big win over L.W. Poised to make a bigger jump by end of week.
8. SHC (1-2) Hollins 50 impressive (even v. V.C), AAU ball meets the WCAL
9. Burton (1-1) depth was their demise v. Mission. Will see if week provides a let-down game.
10.Lincoln (1-0). Solid win at home v. a Washington team on a roll.

One and two are solid; 3-10 will be cleared up by end of week. Cant knock Cats for away lost at St. Francis (even a tough game when SF not good). Riordan injuries catching up to them. SHC just imploding. Riordan/SHC game will say a lot about both teams. BCL the most competitive environment this year. Hard to say who will end up on top. The AAA is Mission's to lose and whats important to the other teams is...they can.

City games of the week:

WCAL: Riordan@SHC; Serra at S.I.
AAA: Lincoln@Lowell; Lowell@Mission; Washington@Mission; Burton@Washington;
BCL: LW@University; SH@LW; Urban@SH

Have a good week.




Week 3 (week record)

1. St. Ignatius(2-0) great games v. City WCAL teams Getting stronger.
2. Mission (4-0). First week with full squad and showing it.
3. Riordan (0-2). Tough lost at Serra; tough home loss to S.I.
4. L.W. (3-0) Suspect 17-1 record gets boost with win over Univ.
5. University-Virtue of win over Riordan/strong preseason keeping them up.
6. Burton (2-1) surprise team got brought back to earth by SM Berkeley.
7. SHC (0-2) great effort v. SI; fell flat to Serra at home. One dimentional.
8.Stuart Hall(2-0) Good win v. Urban; moves up 1
9.Wahington (2-0) Exciting win and now at full squad.
10. Lowell (1-1) coming down to earth.

A lot cleared up as predicted after week 2. S.I. solidified No. 1 ranking with two hard fought WCAL games. Mission now at full strength can only beat themselves in league. Riordan only dropping one space due to tough road loss to Serra. SHC one dimensional; need to prove their talent can put four quarters together. LW finally take University on ultimate neutral court. Burton discipline turning heads. Washington making most of talent.


Game of week in BCL Lick Wilmerding@Urban.
Games of week in AAA, Mission @Burton.
Games of week in WCAL S.I. at St. Francis Riordan@Mitty; SHC@St. Francis;


Week 2

1. St. Ignatius - still playing best ball in City. Win over Bellarmine; tight loss to Mitty.
2. Riordan - 1-1 in league; tight loss at home v. CCS No. 1 or 2 St. Francis
3. Mission - loss to Lowell in OT, 2-1 league. Can only beat themselves in AAA. Full strength for first time.
4. University - virtue of win over Stuart Hall. Winning the games they are suppose to.
5. SHC - 0-2 in league (home loss to Bellarmine); this week will show a lot. Even 1-1 may move them up.
6. Burtion. 3-0. Bottom feed with quality win at Lowell.
7. Lick Wlimerding - beat previous No. 9 Gateway; 14-1 but schedule keeping them down til SH and University
8. Lowell 2-1. Upset of Mission puts them in Top 10; so-so rest of week..
9. Stuart Hall - plays Urban end of week
10. Urban - plays Stuart Hall end of week.

As indicated last week, the results at end of Week Two will narrow list down. SHC@SI (USF), SI@Riordan, Riordan and SHC away at Serra will clarify the tone. A strong .500 result will strengthen/justify SF WCAL teams rankings.

Games of week in BCL Urban@University Stuart Hall@Urban, University@Lick Wilmerding (at Oracle).

Games of week in AAA, Burton @Lincoln. Lowell@Washington (Bird game at Kezar).

Plenty of City rivalry games this week; A good week to get out and watch City Basketball.



Last Week (Week 1)
1. St. Ignatius - playing best ball going into league season
2. Mission - other than lopsided loss to S.I. playing strong with 3 starters coming back in January
3. University - always a competitive schedule, ahead of Riordan by virtue of win; behind Mission by virtue of loss.
4. Riordan - quality wins over St. Mary and MV
5. SHC- relatively unknown quantity by virtue of no home schedule. Lost badly to MV.
6. Urban - good schedule with only blimp in tight game v. University
7. Stuart Hall - hot and cold, heading into league with consecutive losses.
8. Lick Wilmerding- flying under the radar, will know more once league starts
9. Gateway-will not be tested in their BCL division
10. Pick a AAA team

Taylor Johns (Sacred Heart Cathedral) set the career blocks record this week for UC Riverside. He has had a nice collegiate career.

Van Dyke 22 points, 12 rebounds 4 assist and 4 steals.

The service for Del Oro senior football player Ronny Andrews was held today in Rocklin. He died in a car crash earlier this month.

Just a tragic story.

at the risk of posting something already well known, I found out in this morning's paper about Steve Kerr's four core values to on-court success:

Joy
Mindfulness
Compassion
Competition

probably works off-court too.

4 pretty good matchups but DLS at MV is the game of the night, DLS by 8.
Foothill at SRV, Foothill reeling from Tuesday's loss vs. Granada, SRV by 2 gets 4th win in a row in a mild upset
Cal at Livermore, Cal by 6
AV at Granada, Granada back to earth after a big game Tuesday, AV by 8

Miramonte at Dougherty, Good matchup, DV at home by 5
Campolindo at Acalanes, Campo by 8
Alhambra at Dublin, Dublin by 18


Las Lomas bye

That's what I like about DLS ... they are willing to challenge themselves playing teams like Colquitt County... thanks for keeping me updated... hope they schedule a beast next year!

Click to expand...

Colquitt will scrimmage a very athletic (10-2) Coffee Trojan team on August 11. They will also face a very good (13-1) Mill Creek team in the 2016 Corky Kell Classic on August 20 in the Georgia Dome. League games against (5-5) Tift County, (6-5) Lowndes and (10-2) Camden County are set and so are the non-league games against (8-4) Valdosta and (4-6) Brookwood. A very physical (8-4) Tucker team is also in the mix. Colquitt County is also in talks with a few out of state opponents to help fill the last four slots. I'm hoping DLS is one of them as it would be broadcast on ESPN. With that being said, I will give you their OOS schedule as soon as I here something out this way. CT4L

Others who are likely to sign on Feb. 3 are defensive back Rakeem Hightower, linebacker Akivie Bailey, center Daniel Brinson and guard Noah Moore.

Several other Packers could land at Morehouse, Clark-Atlanta or Savannah State. Propst continues to be perplexed that players from a program that has put 15-0 seasons back-to-back in Georgia’s highest classification have not drawn more interest.

“I am a little surprised that we haven’t been more recruited than we are,” he said. “I’m appreciative that people think that I’m that good a football coach, but we have some good football players here.”

Propst said his staff, Colquitt County High teachers and the players themselves have worked harder this year to make sure eligibility requirements are met.

“I am very, very pleased with the academic progress our kids have made,” Propst said. “We push them. But the teachers have to stay with them too.”

Propst said Colquitt County geometry teacher Kimberly Cooper has been especially helpful in getting players ready to take the ACT.

Propst said the weeks leading up to National Signing Day are particularly hectic, but his year it has been even more difficult as he and Athletic Director Kevin Giddens attempt to put together a 2016 football schedule.

As of Tuesday, only six opponents are confirmed.

Colquitt will travel to Coffee for its scrimmage on Thursday, Aug. 11, and then will get ready to meet Mill Creek in the Corky Kell Classic on Saturday, Aug. 20, in the Georgia Dome.

The three Region 1-AAAAAA games against Tift County, Lowndes and Camden County are set, as are non-region games against Valdosta and Brookwood, Propst said.

Talks with several out-of-state teams continue, especially to fill a slot that would enable the Packers to play on ESPN.

Tucker also could be on the final schedule.

“But we’ve still got four spots up in the air,” Propst said, adding that 2014-2015 opponents Pelham and Crisp County are not being considered.

Bainbridge and Thomas County Central also were sought, but contracts could not be arranged.

Propst also said the annual football banquet has been tentatively set for Feb. 28. He is hopeful state and national championship rings will be ready by then.

Spring practice will begin either May 4 or May 5 and will run through May 20 or May 21. Three 7-on-7 tournaments are on the summer schedule.

So we all enjoy the banter on here, and we all have an interest in girls' basketball -- so for me, at least, I would love to put names to faces.

I know some of the posters will be at Bentley Saturday, so I hope those who do attend will come say hi. I realize the RespectBBGame and luvthegame21 both have said unflattering things about me, but that doesn't bother me at all. I have no animosity or hostility and will be glad to shake both their hands. (I'm the grey-haired guy roaming around like he knows what he's doing ... but don't be fooled. I'm just hoping nothing goes wrong.)

And if anyone else is there, please say hello, and not just to me, but to other posters. We are a community, after all, and though we may bicker at each other, we're all in this together.

See you Saturday, I hope ...

I have a question for everyone Salesian took SMS to over time. How do they not move up 7 with that. There are team above that have a worst record thst have played anyone above them. I taught some of the rank went on who a team plays. Rank shouldn't be based on the past it should be based on the present. I think any team that take SMS to OT should get credit for it. Name a team in the top 20 in Norcal that has came that close to SMS this year. Miity lost by 13 but the are rank #3.

Salesian on have on bad lost all year and that to Sac High. Why the not rank like 5 or 6.

Kendall Smith is back on the floor at Northridge after transferring from UNLV and is averaging 17 points a night in 10 games this year.

Should be a great show!

Comfy seatback chairs with a perfect viewing angle right behind the scorer's table for seven potentially terrific games... What could be better?

Game 1 at 10am: Newark Memorial v. Albany

Albany is a mystery team for me; I haven't seen them play since they've become a winning team these last couple years (new coach, maybe?), and they have a good record against a not-overly-strong schedule... but wait, they almost beat the NY Albany Academy for Boys that we'll see later on against El Cerrito. Those guys are ranked #6 in NY! However, in my time in Oregon with the fabulous holiday tourney they have up there, I've seen a number of highly-ranked NY teams come in with lots of hype and then lay an egg on-court. Is it the first-game-after-three-timezone-trip blues, or are NY teams often overrated? We'll have to wait and see...

Newark has played a strong schedule and has some strong showings including a win over El Cerrito and another over Woodcreek. They also split a pair with powerful Capital Christian, but the win was accomplished over a team with almost all of their studs in street clothes. They do seem to have a slight size advantage over Albany, too...

This game is practically a tossup and could be a barnburner to open the show... I'll pick NM by 4.

I'll get into other games later today.
