Started feeling bad during the last game last night…. Took temp, slight fever…. I practically NEVER get fevers, even when otherwise sick.

Anyone who was near me in the stands for any extended period during the Torrey Pines event, GET TESTED.

I have no idea whether I’ve got the rona, but BE SAFE.

I’m getting tested at Kaiser on Wednesday, hope it’s just the flu or something….

Player of the Year: Tyler Tremain QB Folsom

Offensive Player of the Year: Anthony Garcia QB Capital Christian

Defensive Player of the Year: Jordan Wagner LB Lincoln

Lineman of the Year: Bobby Piland OL/DL Rocklin

According to Scott Reid, MD coach's wife "hand checked" MD President Father Jenkins when he tried to congratulate her postgame. Hopefully, her POS husband is gone. If so, congratulations to the Roman Catholic Diocese of Orange County.

I had not coached hs ball in Nor Cal since spring of 2019. I came back as an assistant this year. I was coaching a varsity game tonight (boys) and the ref called a 5 second closely guarded call on our player resulting in a turnover to the opponent.

I was a bit dumbfounded. I thought that call was eliminated in CIF in California 4-5 years ago, but the ref insisted I did not know what I was talking about.

Can someone tell me who is correct?

So are we not going to talk about this score from yesterday? Much respect to DeSoto for coming out here but according to @becoolpt55 DeSoto should beat every NorCal team by 40 pts. Looks like San Joaquin Memorial didn't get the message.

For the Crush in the Valley Basketball Showcase, the 4 Boys CIF games,
on Saturday January 22nd

we are going to create a waiting list if there so happens to be a CIF team that
drops out due to Covid.

To be included on the waiting list, please email:

crushvalleybball@gmail.com

Currently, the 4 CIF Boys games on Saturday January 22nd are:

6:30pm Durango HS (NV) vs. Salesian College Preparatory HS (CA)

3:30pm Bishop O'Dowd HS (CA) vs. Sacramento HS (CA)

2pm Sacred Heart Prep HS (CA) vs. Lincoln HS (Stockton, CA)

12:30pm Vanden HS (CA) vs. Campolindo HS (CA)

This time from Prolific Prep to Southern California Academy (SCA).

I swear this has to be school number 7 or 8 for him.....must be a new record!

Because of COVID, there are some match up changes. Prolific Prep was suppose to play AZ Compass this coming weekend in Kentucky but because of COVID, the game will fortunately be moved to the Crush in the Valley. That matchup is going to be a high level game. All games at Contra Costa College. Saturday will most likely be a sell out so come early.

Prolific Prep is coming off a Chick Fil A Championship with a blow out win over Dream City Christian. Prolific Prep was up 41-7 at the half and cruised to an easy win. They followed it with a huge road win 76-63 in Atlanta against Newton (#1 team ranked in Georgia) in front of a very tough atmosphere.

Just want to shout out James Akinjo. The lead guard on the #1 in the nation. He is playing some different and great ball. Today locked up Villanova point guard and went for 16-7-5.

Legit top 10 to start the year. Let's rollllllllllllllllll!

1. Mater Dei
2. St John Bosco
3. Folsom
4. Los Al
5. Serra SM
6. Centennial
7. Mission Viejo
8. Servite
9. Santa Margarita
10. Cathedral Catholic

Looks like Ponderosa continues to roll. They went 4-0 improving to 13-0 on season to win bronze. Probably should have played up to be honest but they had good wins over Rialto and JW North.
Circle Jan 15th non league game against Burbank. That will be the biggest opportunity for them to get challenged until playoffs.

I believe Centennial Corona won the big boy division with Etiwanda coming in 3rd.

Probably flying under the radar due to Torrey Pines tourney but DLS is playing Mater Dei at 5:30 in the Rancho Mirage Tourney.

Folsom will take on Miramonte and Marin Catholic will face King in the two semi-finals tonight.

For the first time in California State Bowl Game history De La Salle does not have a dog in the race. The team selected to represent the North in the open, Serra of San Mateo, is (SLOWLY) being walked out to the woodshed on Statewide Television as we speak.

Make no mistake about it, Mater Dei is the best High School team money can buy at that’s at the National Level. That said, the CIF made a huge mistake keeping De La Salle out of the open.

Many point to De La Salle’s vaunted veer offense as prehistoric and a thing of the past. But for all the simplicity in their scheme the reality is that it is a scheme that rarely beats itself.

I’m not saying De La Salle beats this Mater Dei team. But hell, this one is nearing a safety hazard at this point.

Pretty solid schedule for the Ugly Eagles

How long they'll stay this way is another question ...

45th Annual Cordova High Christmas tournament.

Semi final game
Inderkum 10-1 vs Oakland Tech 10-3
This game was extremely physical and played a blaring speed. Inderkum comes out swinging by starting the game in a full court trap flying all over the floor jumping out to a 8-0 lead. They controlled the entire first quarter 25-17 Inderkum.
Oakland Tech decided to pick up full court themselves and started to match the speed and intensity of the game being lead by guard #1 Ahmaree-Muhammad. By continuing to Attack the basket and getting to the free throw line, Tech was able to cut the lead to 4 with 6:00 minutes left in the 2nd quarter. However missed free throws hurt them from taking the lead.

Inderkum stayed with the game plan lead by Derrick Claxton and Teand-Indalecio ending the half with the lead 47-36

Inderkum started the 3rd quarter in another gear coming out with a monster dunk by Claxton and even more pressure which was the story for the rest of the game. The size of Inderkum and lack of rebounding for tech started to become an issue. It was multiple technical foul calls and bodies flying everywhere as Inderkum begin to pull away ending the 3rd up 20.

Tech fought the entire way and wouldn’t lay down. Ahmaree continued to attack ending the game with 23 points, helped by Mahlik Smith who chipped in 12. But Inderkum was just to much for them tonight. The size, speed, and conditioning of this team will be a problem for most squads. Teand ended the game with 19 points off the bench and Claxton with 25. I could watch these to play over and over. The effort, teamwork, and coaching on both sides was top notch. Great high school game.
Final 93-69 inderkum
Tonight championship rematch with Inderkum vs Grant @8pm
Cordova High School.

Coaches Corner bright spot was
Teand Indalecio off the bench with 19points.

Just watched Torrey Pines blast Coronado (the San Diego one, not the Nevada one) by about 40…

Now it’s time for the Campolino Cougars to take on Mira Costa…. Long wait due to a running-clock quickie before.

Anyone at this game. Folsom (9-0) vs Heritage (7-0)? Not on NFHS and no scorekeepers on Maxpreps.
