Joe Cattolico is the new HC at Sheldon High

Nice to see Coach Joe back in the game. I have little doubt that Sheldon will become relevant quite soon.

Though Cattolico had been contacted by many schools wanting him to join their staff the past couple years, he's always wanted to keep his family in Elk Grove.

"We like Elk Grove, we like the schools, the neighborhoods, "he explained. "Not that all the other places aren't nice too, but we're happy to professionally stay in this community because we like it."

Alongside has been his father, Butch, a retired football coach who was successful for many years at Los Gatos High School. Now, the elder Cattolico will be on the sidelines again. Joe has already hired Butch as his top assistant at Sheldon.

Centennial's "Traveling Party"

http://www.latimes.com/sports/highs...to-sacramento-will-be-278-20151214-story.html

Centennial is bringing 278 people to the SBG. 126 players, 25 coaches, six crew members, eight trainers, 80 band members, two band coaches, 24 cheerleaders, three cheer coaches and four administrators.

126 players? I assume this includes their JV team as well... With call-ups, DLS may have ~65.
I've never liked it when teams have 100+ on their roster. First that means numbers are shared, but most importantly that means a lot of players who will never get decent playing time. It would suck to wear the jersey but never play a down...

NBA basketball travel

I know this topic is not forum-related, but I'm not sure who else with whom to discuss this.

The Bulls lost a FOUR-overtime game Friday night, and had a game in New York Saturday night. Bulls traveled to NY right after game, and arrived at their NY hotel at 4 am. Predictable results of game with the Knicks - a loss.

Would it not be better to
  • stay at home Friday night
  • sleep in one's own bed
  • have a good breakfast at home
  • travel Saturday morning
which would allow a rested team to arrive in NY, still with time to get in some shooting before the game?

State bowl games conclusions:

1) I liked the new format that alowed more teams to play but in virtually every division SoCal has numerical advanteges.....oh well
2) In the future it would be nice if the SJS and NCS went to the open format and allowed funner ups in the first few divisions.....an Elk Grove, Rocklin, Oakdale, or a team like Foothill would have represented us well
3) Bellarmine and Clayton Valley are great programs but will struggle at this level unless they develop a passing game. Their success is always predicated on being ahead.
4) Central Catholic is a mini DLS....what they do with that small of a school is incredible. It seems like a crime to push a school of 350 co-ed to Div 2 next year with schools of 2000.
5) Great to see the Northern section in a few games and winning them. Their are solid public schools up there that can compete with any other publics with similar enrollment numbers.

Congrats CIF

I for one believe the CIF did a great job with this new format. Obviously the pairings were done with competitive equity in mind. The series for the season came down to literally the last quarter of the 2015 season with DLS edging the North over the South for the year. 7 games to 6. For the most part most games were competitive. A couple surprises to me with SHP and Campo getting dominated.
East Nic, a little school in South Sutter County with an enrollment of 280 taking the nearly 600 mile journey to San Diego to take on Coronado with an enrollment of 1200 slayed the dragon. Without this system EN with 2 losses probably would not have been given this chance without this new system. Del Oro with 6 losses the same and Sierra with 5 losses ( should have been Sutter, Yes I am still bitter LOL ) also would not have had this chance.
The only thing I would do different is start the season a week or 2 earlier so that winter sports are not affected by the multi sport athletes being on the grid iron a week before Christmas. I am sure there are some very talented Basketball players, wrestlers, soccer players and others that are needed for their teams.
It is now time to put a bow on the 2015 high school football season. What a year it was. Congrats to all the winners and the losers this weekend. For a State as large as ours, to be playing this far you have all done something right.
The Northern Section got two Champions this season. EN in Div 6 and yours truly in the annual, always fun NorCalPreps Pick EMS!! ;) Here is to a very Merry Christmas to ALL of you and an extremely healthy happy New Year. I respect all of you for contributing to this awesome message board and thank you Streak 1 for all that you do. Seen you all on the other side of 2015. GO Sutter 2016.. I had to guys, sorry
