Last season Turlock had arguably the biggest upset in the state in defeating St. Mary's 51-50 in the SJS Div. 1 playoffs. They are losing a number of key players so I was wondering if they would change their philosophy of scheduling tough non-conference games (as their league is weak) to prepare for the post season. They didn't, and even double-downed, with four of the same teams and trading Manteca for Folsom. On the road at Rocklin (51st in the state in year-end Calhisports ranking), and Central - Fresno (55th in ranking), with home games against Folsom (10th), Clovis West (37th), and Clayton Valley (56th). Turlock ended up ranked 49th. Div. 1 teams in the southern part of the SJS don't fair well in the playoffs so winning two post-season games last year was an accomplishment for them. The went 2-3 last year against these teams, and it could be hard to duplicate that this year. Central Catholic had a truly brutal non-conference schedule last year, probably the hardest in Northern California, and went 1 -4, but they also had a tough conference schedule too. They won their league but past success in D2 and D3 pushed them up into D 1 where they were soundly defeated by Folsom. So does a deliberately tough schedule help? Central has to be careful about injuries as their squads are usually small in numbers but aside from that I think it does. And I think the players enjoy the challenge, as long as there's a chance for an upset (i.e. you're not playing St. John Bosco).

These proposals often change but it is quite interesting to see.
