Dear NorCalPreps Community,

It's time to take a closer look at the transfer policies affecting high school sports across the North Coast Section (NCS), Central Coast Section (CCS), Oakland Section, San Francisco Section, and San-Joaquin Section. These policies impact all our student-athletes, boys and girls alike, creating barriers that limit their ability to compete, grow, and achieve their full potential.

A United Effort for Change

The restrictive nature of these policies doesn't just affect individual athletes; it challenges the very essence of high school sports. Our goal is to ensure every student-athlete, regardless of their sport or background, has equitable opportunities to succeed and showcase their talents.

Your Stories Are Key

The power of personal experience cannot be overstated. Whether you've been directly impacted by these policies or have seen their effects on others, your story is a vital piece of the puzzle. By sharing your journey, you highlight the need for a more supportive and fair system for all.

How to Help

We're looking to gather experiences from across the board — missed opportunities, navigating complex rules, or any other challenges these policies have presented. Your insight is crucial in painting a comprehensive picture of how these rules affect our student-athletes on and off the field.

Let's unite our voices for a cause that matters. Share your experience, and let's work towards creating a more inclusive and fair environment for high school sports.

Share your story, and be part of the change we all wish to see.

Dunno what happened to my first try…. It was truly epic. Pressed Enter, and the post went byebye. Let’s see if this one works…

Second night in a row my GoFan senior ticket was not accepted. Last night at Las Lomas, tonight at Clayton Valley.

Really impressive McKenna reached this milestone as a sophomore!

St. Ignatius guard Raymond Whitley (6-foot-2) has been one of the WCAL's best players this season. He is a hard nosed guard who gets to the basket, can finish in a crowd and has shown the ability to step out for the three ball.

Getting ready to rumble…

When these two met the first time, it was at College Park, and Campo won 57-50.

Found the December game and watched it on hudl…. Neither team played all that well, but then it WAS mid-December.

Thursday, Feb. 1 JV boys game vs. San Ramon Valley. After the game ended and officials were leaving the court, a Monte Vista parent stopped a referee and allegedly asked "what high school did you attend, n*****? "The parent put a hand on the official, and then the official threw a right hook and knocked the parent on his heels. I've seen the video (it's still up on Hudl).

I saw that Ethan Kassel posted about it Sat. night, but it seems to have been deleted. There was another tweet that police were called about an assault but the 'suspect' had left the premises and no charges have been filed. Can't find anything else online. Does anyone have more info on repercussions?

I do not condone the official's response, but when will schools start taking responsibility for fan behavior?

Two big upset wins in SJS league play, Friday.

Sierra Foothill League (SFL)
Del Oro (14-11) upset Whitney (17-8), 45-43 in a close thrilling game won on the free throw line with 11 seconds remaining. Whitney's last possession was a three-point miss as time expired. Whitney's loss puts them in a tie for 3rd place with Del Oro in the SFL, and allows Oak Ridge no worse than 2nd place in the SFL.

Both Oak Ridge and Folsom won easily Friday evening. Folsom is 8-0 and Oak Ridge 7-1 in SFL league play. Next Friday, 2/9, Folsom plays at Oak Ridge for the league title.

Metropolitan League
Monterey Trail (14-9) upset Grant (19-5), 54-49 on "Senior Night" at MT with a good crowd. Grant's loss puts them 7-2 in league play (2nd place), while Monterey Trail goes to 7-3, (3rd place) in Metro league, with a chance to tie for 2nd place after tomorrow's McClatchy at Grant league game tomorrow.

With McClatchy (18-5) winning easily against Burbank, Friday evening, McClatchy goes to 8-0 in the Metro league. McClatchy plays at Grant in a make-up league game tomorrow, Saturday. But Grant's loss to Monterey Trail means that MCClatchy will eventually win the Metro league title, as McClatchy previously beat Grant by 35 points last time in league play.

Oakland High has lead the entire game...

Pinewood beat Salesian 70-39

St Mary’s Stockton beat Oakland Tech 61-52

Halftime
Oakland 46 Modesto Christian 24

I’m here in the palatial arena of Las Lomas. At the half, acalanes leads 28-21.

Great pickup for UNLV. Anderson is one of the top local players in the class

Coming up on Super Bowl Sunday! What does everyone expect?
