Saturday November 26 at Dublin High School
Game 1: 9:30 AM Granada (Livermore) vs Vanden (Fairfield) - Looking forward to seeing Granada and their talented front line. Granada in a close one.

Game 4: 2:00 PM Oakland vs Monterey Trail (Elk Grove). Gotta go with Money Williams and Oakland High. Hope MT’s Ben R is available. Money vs Ben worth the admission!
Game 5: 3:30 PM Riordan (San Francisco) vs Weston Ranch (Stockton) - I’ll take the Crusaders. They may struggle against the pressing Cougars, but Crusaders’ height and length will be the factor. Looking forward to seeing the 2 Riordan freshman in Andrew Hilman and Alex Kuminga (GSW’s Jonathan’s kid bro). It’s still going to be the King Njsanni-Wilhite show.
Game 6: 5:15 PM Dublin vs Inderkum (Sacramento). Great matchup of guards/wings from both teams. I’ll take the hosts in a game that goes down to the wire.
Game 7: 7:00 PM Archbishop Mitty (San Jose) vs Clovis North (Fresno). Clovis North surprised a lot of teams during its NorCal run. Monarchs will be ready and pull out the W.

A lot of the same people have been predicting that Folsom will not win at home against Modesto's finest in Central Catholic.

@larry legend33 has even proclaimed that "Folsom will not be able to move the ball." Bold.

Folsom by two scores!

Let's vote!

The season is here ... shouldn't teams have rosters posted on MaxPreps and school websites by now?

Is DLS Pitt being streamed? Otherwise may have to drive over to Dublin.

PCAL Playoffs CCS Semi-Finals

Not a bad week for the PCAL in the first round of the CCS playoffs. Most games went as predicted even if they were not what I had hoped. Gabilan went 3-1 and the Mission, an impressive 3-0. Unfortunately, the Cypress and Santa Lucia went a combined 0-3. The PCAL will have at least 1 team playing for a CCS title (DIII) next week.

Salinas got on SHP early with their offense and were able to hang on with a late defensive stop. Palma was completely overmatched by the Serra machine. This sets up a great semifinal match between Serra and Salinas. I do not think that that Salinas wins this game. Serra is just bigger, faster and stronger on both sides of the ball. That being said, Salinas has a chance, albeit a small one. The Cowboys offense is arguably the best in the CCS outside of Serra and probably the best passing team Serra played. Salinas has 2 DI receivers on the outside and they have found a running back in a young Sophomore. Their QB1 is very smart and has a great knowledge of this offense, he does not make many mistakes. Salinas will score some points on Serra. I just don’t think they will be able slow down Serra enough. Salinas will have to play a near perfect game on both sides of the ball and hope Serra makes some mistakes. Aptos had an easy win over Christopher and will now face Saint Ignatius in DII. SI has a played much better defense lately, but Aptos runs that wing T so well. This should be a very close, entertaining game. Hollister had a nice “upset” of Burlingame and will now face Soquel in a DIII semifinal game.

Soquel had a nice win over Terra Nova, Hollister will be a tougher opponent, and according to Cal preps favored. But I think Soquel is the better team this year. They are very well balanced and very disciplined. Both Monterey and Seaside had great showings in DV. Monterey upset Pioneer while Seaside had an easy victory over Woodside. Seaside will next travel to Palo Alto (they do not belong in DV). While Monterey will make the trek to #1 seed Westmont. It would be awesome to play a “Battle of the Bay” part II for the DV championship!!

The Cypress and Santa Lucia reps all lost this past weekend to cap their seasons. Soledad got behind early to Live Oak and could not do anything until it was too late. St Francis kept it close with Santa Teresa until the 4th qtr. But the undersized and undermanned Sharks could not keep up. And finally, one of the greatest seasons in RLS football came to an end. The 7th seed Pirates played hard, and they played well, but they could not hang with A division Palo Alto for all 4 Qtrs. However, they will be hanging a banner this winter in the gym. Congratulations RLS on a fantastic season!!!

Gabilan Playoffs:

Fri 11/18 Hollister (CA) at Soquel (CA), 7:00pm :CCS D III Playoffs- Hollister had a great win over Burlingame last weekend. But Soquel has been so consistent this year, I just can’t pick against them. Soquel 28-14

Fri 11/18 Aptos (CA) at St. Ignatius (San Francisco, CA), 7:00pm: CCS DIV II Playoffs- Can SI slow down the Aptos wing T, and if they do can they score enough points? Going with the locals here. Aptos scores enough. Aptos 27-24

Sat 11/19 Salinas (CA) at Serra (San Mateo, CA), 1:00pm CCS I Playoffs – I am rooting for Salinas here. But to me, Serra is starting to trend to that Mater Dai St. Johns model of High school football. It makes it really difficult to pick against. Salinas keeps it close for a while. Serra 35-24

Mission Playoffs

Fri 11/18 Seaside (CA) at Palo Alto (CA), 7:00pm CCS V Playoffs- It would be awesome if Seaside could beat Palo Alto to set ups a Mission League DV title. The only problem is that Palo Alto is a really good program, that had a bad year, that is playing in a division it does not belong in. Palo Alto 34-21

Fri 11/18 Monterey (CA) at Westmont (Campbell, CA), 7:00pm- CCS DIV V Playoffs -If the Monterey Team that played last week shows up, then Monterey wins, easily. I the team that gave up 51 to Carmel shows up, it will be a long night. Monterey has been playing inspired ball the last 2 weeks, I say they keep it going. Monterey 35-20

The wheel continues to roll to the finals in the Sac-Joaquin section. Teams are believing they can, and teams are thinking they can't lose. Cooler climate and home field advantages might be the difference in some Major battles about to rumble. Favorites will fall and underdogs will prevail as we have another week of the Sections Best. Goodluck to all Teams and may they be injury free.

What a monster night for Acia last Friday vs Antelope. 33 carries for 413 yards and 4 TD’s. I can’t believe that this story hasn’t been picked up by the Bee or any other media outlets except the Auburn Journal/Loomis News. This is the same kid who went viral his freshman year for doing a flip over a Granite Bay defender and taking it in for a touchdown.

Everything has gone Serra's way so far and it's 29.-0 Serra towards end of the 1rst - not lookin' good for the Chieftains

Calpreps.com is a useful, but often misunderstood tool. They have pulled a series of tweets from Twitter to respond to in order to help inform their users an some of the workings of the site. If you are interested in that kind of thing, it's a useful read.

Had a tourney not work out and looking to fill.

We are available 12/8-12/10.

Would also be available 12/19-12/23

Individual games would be okay as well.

Oak Ridge 2025 tight end Kaleb Edwards (6-foot-6, 220 pounds) projects as the next top tight end to come out of Northern California. He has a team high six touchdowns in providing a big target who can win on contested catches. He lines up outside and understands how to adjusts routes against the defense.

Last week aginast Elk Grove in the SJS Division I quarterfinals, Edwards had a season high 89 yards and his first touchdown since September 23 against Pitman.

We are continuing the fun with a playoff pick'em. Since I somehow finished second in the regular season, I will put up that gift card for this contest. First place payout only of $40 with $10 going to another participant who plays every week.

Same format as the regular season and we will play through the NorCal Bowls.

Here are the games for this week. Picks are due by 7:00 PM on Friday

Roseville at Patterson
Central Catholic at Monterey Trail (Game of the Week)
Granite Bay at Downey
Escalon at Hilmar
Elk Grove at Oak Ridge
St. Bernard's at De Anza
