St. Francis beat El Cerrito in an exciting, well-played game, breaking open a close one with an impressive run in the 3rd quarter, then holding on to win 73-68. These teams look like they'll go deep in the playoffs, and could even meet again in the NorCals. The new-find guy, at least for me, is sophomore guard Logan Johnson of St Francis. He is 6'3"', quick with nice hops... Sees the floor well, makes hard passes look easy, plays tough on the defensive end. Wouldn't be surprised to see him get multiple D1 offers... If he hasn't already.
In the other semi, Sacramento broke open a seesaw battle with Capital Christian early in the 4th quarter and won 75-59 in a game that was far better than that score might indicate. Both of these teams also look they'll go far.
