* teams still playing

CIF State Brackets out sometime this Sunday afternoon, 2/25 -- no specific time given.

Starting the conversation on teams to watch for this season.

De La Salle (27-5): The two time NorCal Divison I champions will remain one of the top teams in NorCal. Hitters to watch include Hank Tripaldi (San Diego State) and high level junior Alec Blair. Also sophomore Tyler Spangler is a Stanford commit. On the mound, they will bring back their top two pitchers in innings in RJ Meyn (Santa Clara) and Jack Hershey.

Valley Christian-San Jose (31-4): Valley Christian is another team that reloads more than rebuilds and it starts in the lineup with Tatum Marsh (Stanford), junior Jordan Ortiz (LMU) and junior Quinten Marsh (Stanford). The Warriors lose their two top pitchers, but Quinten is coming off a 6-2 seaon and junior Kole Laubach, who went 4-0 as a sophomore.

Napa Valley College

D1 quarterfinals in both NCS and SJS, many others…. Pick a game and enjoy!

Jaylen just put up 27(6 3's) to sweep Arizona for the season and move into 1 spot in Pac 12. Averaging 12 & 5. Awesome stuff to watch from former Folsom HS & Sonoma State star.

Liberty high school is looking to fill out JV & Frosh tournament in dec.

I'll be at the CLET @ CN game tonight and will keep the thread updated.

Can someone do the same at the BOD @ SRV game also?

Thanks

GoFan ticket says 7 pm for SRV vs Cardinal Newman at Dublin High which is same time as boys Dublin vs DV game at Dublin. I believe the girls game is earlier in the day. I think 3 p.m.

Slow start with Salesian leading 4-2 with 2:45 left Q1

Is third time a charm for Lincoln?

Is anyone else having problems streaming games with NFHS in the NCS section games tonight?

Vanden off to a fast start and leads 15-2

Holiday schedule hoops. Some great games. I'm not sure some peoples season ends tnite however given "at large" births.
D1
Modesto Christian vs Inderkum - I'm going mild upset here. Inderkum hasn't lost since SRV over a month ago and is playing really well. Big win against WR a few days ago gets them ready for this big matchup. I'm not sold on MC this year after losing so many good players off last years Champ team.

Rocklin Vs Lincoln- Rocklin had a big win over Sheldon but I think Lincoln is going to be too much for the Thunder to handle.

D2
Jesuit vs DO - Jesuit has had the easiest road here and is tough at home. DO squeaked by a scrappy St Mary's to get here. I look for the Mauraders to advance in this one.

Vanden vs CC - Vanden is playing really well and Capital Christian has been pretty inconsistent all year. I think this will be a great game and I can see a last position type win. CC will have home court advantage which could be difference.

D3

I like Sac high over CC and I think Sac high will win NCS.
I'm going upset in the lower bracket game. Christian Brothers goes on the road and beats West Park!

….to win back back SJS d3 titles. I believe that moves them up to d2 next year. Congrats to CB this is the best team they have had in a long time.

Will be posting notes on class of 2025 prospects

Jalen Stokes 6-foot-5 SF Dublin: Stokes is one of the top 2025 prospects in NorCal. He is a big ball handler who is most dangerous attacking the basket or slashing without the ball. He is also a good rebounder and can get hot from the outside. He has led Dublin in scoring in four of the last five games including a 29 point, 10 rebound and five steal performance against California on January 30.

Vista del Lago Ella Skrzyniarz (5-foot-9) has been one of the top players in the Sacramento area this season regardless of class. She is averaging 21 points with eight rebounds, two assists and two steals. She plays with a high motor, can create space with her dribble and has the vision to find teammates.

Pinewood point guard Alex Facelo (5-foot-3) had 12 made three pointers this past week against Crystal Springs Upland. Obviously, she is a talented shooter and that skill allows her to draw out the defense and put the ball on the deck if need be. She plays at a good tempo and competes on defense. This season, she is averaging 15 points per game with career high marks in assists and steals.

I'll go with:

Open: Salesian
D1: O'Dowd (but I hope Campo catches fire!)
D2: Monty
D3: University
D4: YV
D5: Stuart Hall
D6: Cornerstone Christian

Yup, mostly chalk...
