O.J. Simpson passes

C
He died today at age 76. Before he starred as a running back at USC and in the NFL, he was a standout at Galileo HS in San Francisco and at CCSF in the mid-1960s. He was a prime example of the overall strength of the AAA back in the day _ prior to the departure of SI and SH and the onset of massive demographic changes in SF. A different time. A different era.

NCAA Tourney Thoughts

L
A few thoughts..
1. Grown men are better than kids. Been saying it for years. I will take a 22-23 year old senior over the 18 year old MCD., Look at UK. That model don't work coach Cal. Same story every year now. No different than playing city league and you go up against a bunch of OG's who can't run or jump but clean your clock when you are young.

2. Lots of D2 guys proving they can play and belong at D1 level. Jaylen Wells ala Folsom and Sonoma State Cossacks is kiling it.

3. Always so many stories to follow. NC State with the big guy DJ Burns has them on a tear. Love when good kids get put on center state and the tourney does that so well. Oakland U with there coach who has been there 40 years. Just awesome.

4. Oregon looks tough...... Great coach. Lookout.

Another day... More madness.

UConn vs. USC

C
Oh, my. Huskies were ripe for the picking. Trojans were favored with a bigger, deeper roster, primed to advance. Instead, zippo. Still unsure what SC was trying to do on offense. Disjointed. Confused. Unforced turnovers. Bad shot selection. Failure to pound the post. Poorly prepared for a half-court grinder. Score one for Geno and his gritty bunch. Last call for the old Pac-12. Not good.

Ending a CCS public school streak

C
It's been 36 years since a CCS public school girls' basketball won (or even played for) a CIF state title in any division, equity-based, enrollment-based, whatever. Is this the year that drought ends? The indications are not encouraging. The best of the 2024 bunch, Los Gatos, has been slotted into NorCal Division I. The competition from the private/parochials there will be fierce. Same goes for several other public contenders like Everygreen Valley and Branham in divisions just below I. But Lynbrook of San Jose has been shunted all the way down to Division 5. Now we're talking. Lynbrook could do some damage down there in the depths of the bottom (worst) bracket. They are 18-9 playing in a strong CCS public school league where they finished 7-5. They are an at-large NorCal selection. They might be the best hope to end that depressing CCS public bagel that began during the Reagan Administration. Fingers crossed.
