Anthony Roy (Dublin) scored 27 points (7 threes), five rebounds and three assists in a loss at Oklahoma State.

He looks to be one of the top alumni to watch this college basketball season.

Of the 25, five are in CA, all in SoCal except for St. Joseph in Santa Maria, which is almost SoCal.

#3 Roosevelt of Eastvale
#5 St. John Bosco
#10 Harvard-Westlake
#19 Sierra Canyon
#24 St. Joseph-Santa Maria

At a glance, this looks to me like an NFHS member list, no "academies" that I know of.

Actually, we can take two schools or six schools (entries have to be divisible by four), but given that it's getting late, I'm assuming we won't get six more entries.

So if you've got three games open, the Jamboree wants you.

The section puts together a notes package each week during the playoffs. Here are a couple that caught my attention:

Four teams (Bradshaw Christian, Hughson, Rodriguez and Twelve Bridges) enter the playoffs with perfect records. In 2023, that number was two; in 2015 it was a record 10 teams who entered the playoffs at 10-0. Historically speaking, at least one of those three teams will win a championship, as there has been at least one unbeaten team win a Section championship for 23 of the last 29 years.

We have three teams in the playoffs for the very first time. And a very large welcome to perhaps the top story of this first round: Armijo is here for the first time. The Fairfield school opened in 1891 and has never made the football playoffs, even though Super Bowl champion and Sac-Joaquin Section Hall of Famer George Martin played there in the late 1970s. Also in the playoffs for the first time: Elite Public Schools and Wheatland.

Take a bow, Trans-Valley League! All seven of your teams advanced to the playoffs. Three leagues qualified six teams apiece to the postseason: The CVC, FVL and the VOL. And three leagues each qualified five teams - The SAL, SFL and TCAL.

An impressive ELEVEN players that have currently committed to Division I schools will be participating in the Nor Cal Tip Off Classic, all in the class of 2025 except 2026 Myles Jones of Modesto Christian who has committed to Stanford.

Other Division I commits (all in the 2025 class): Elijah Perryman of Clayton Valley (Utah State), Luke Isaac of San Ramon Valley (UC Irvine), Antony Moore of Lincoln (Weber State), Chase Rawlins of Folsom (UC Davis), Hudson Mayes of Redondo Union (Central Michigan), Alec Blair of De La Salle (Oklahoma), Peyton White of Crespi (Nevada), Kellen Hampton of Moreau Catholic (Pacific), Gavin Sykes of Modesto Christian (Long Beach State) and Ry Atkins of Modesto Christian (Air Force).

Has anyone heard about the 2 new girls going to Riordan, I believe I heard they are post players.

1. De La Salle (9-0)

Derrick Blanche and Dominic Kelley each had two touchdown runs and more than 100 yards as the Spartans added another impressive win with a 48-10 victory over California. Next up is Clayton Valley Charter to end the regular season.

2. Folsom (9-1)

Ryder Lyons connected with Jameson Powell for 132 yards and three touchdowns as part of another five touchdown pass effort in Folsom’s 48-10 win over Granite Bay. Carter Jackson rushed for more than 100 yards, Lua DaBerry had a team high three tackles for loss and Jason Hill Jr. added an interception. The Bulldogs are the top seed in the SJS Division I playoffs and will have a first round bye this week.

3. Pittsburg (8-1)

The Pirates got their third shutout in four BVAL games as they beat Deer Valley 76-0. They had five non-offensive touchdowns in the win. Pittsburg will end the regular season against Antioch in a long standing regular season rivalry.

4. San Ramon Valley (8-1)

The Wolves had a rare late season bye and will finish the regular season this Friday against crosstown foe Monte Vista. They have wins over St. Ignatius, Soquel, McClymonds, Amador Valley and California.

5. St. Francis-Mountain View (8-1)

It was about the big plays for the Lancers in a 35-17 win at Valley Christian. Aaron Knapp threw four touchdowns including a 93 yard score from Grant Righellis, a 75 yard score to Kingston Keanaaina and a 50 yard score to Perrion Williams. Keanaaina also had a 98 yard kickoff return for a touchdown. St. Francis will look to capture an outright WCAL title on Saturday at Riordan.

6. St. Ignatius (7-2)

Jarious Hogan had a WCAL record six touchdowns (five rushes, one receiving) in a 45-28 win over Sacred Heart Cathedral in the Bruce-Mahoney Game. The Wildcats led 31-28 in the fourth quarter before ending the game with back-to-back touchdowns. Next up, St. Ignatius will host Mitty.

7. St. Mary’s-Stockton (8-2)

The Rams made the big jump in the rankings after three teams in the Top 10 lost this past week. In their 35-7 win over Lincoln-Stockton, Diego Hernandez rushed for 140 yards and three touchdowns and Osani Gayles caught his sixth touchdown of the season. The Rams were given the No. 2 seed in the SJS Division II playoffs behind Rocklin and will have a first round bye.

8. Grant (7-3)

Luke Alexander went 14-for-14 for 219 yards and four touchdowns and Brandon Lambert had more than 100 total yards and two touchdowns in a 55-0 win over Cordova. Grant was given the No. 3 seed in the SJS Division II playoffs and has a first round bye this week.

9. Oak Ridge (6-4)

Jasen Womack had a rushing touchdown, Isaac Pierce had a receiving touchdown and the Trojans forced two turnovers in a 17-6 win at Rocklin to jump into the Top 10 and receive the No. 2 seed in the SJS Division I playoffs. Womack had one of those turnovers with an interception and two tackles for loss.

10. Rocklin (8-2)

Rocklin was held to 215 total yards in falling to Oak Ridge 17-6. Mikey Cunningham has the lone touchdown for the Thunder, which also got 14 tackles from Derek Keeley. Rocklin is the top seed in the SJS Division II playoffs and will face the winner of Kimball-Oak Ridge.

11. Los Gatos (7-2)

Scotty Brennan threw two touchdown passes to Beau Musser, but Los Gatos suffered their first league loss to Wilcox (19-14). The Wildcats stayed ahead of Wilcox in part to early season wins over Soquel and Liberty. This week, they travel to Palo Alto.

12. Soquel (7-2)

Sam Whelan threw for three touchdowns and Tyreis Lundy rushed for 213 yards and a score as part of Soquel’s most impressive win of the season in a 34-14 win over Salinas. The Knights, which have won seven in a row, will host Aptos as they try to clinch an outright league title.

13. Marin Catholic (7-2)

The Wildcats rode an outstanding defensive performance to beat Cardinal Newman 13-3 for their seventh straight win. Caedon Afsharipour tossed touchdown passes to Branden Johnson and Jude Baker. Marin Catholic travels to Windsor this week.

14. Manteca (9-1)

Nikko Juarez rushed for 168 yards and two touchdowns as Manteca clinched its first outright league title since 2013 with a 36-24 win over Oakdale, according to the Manteca Bulletin. Manteca trailed 17-14 in the third quarter before scoring three straight touchdowns. Manteca is the No. 4 seed in the SJS Division II playoffs and has a first round bye this week.

15. Riordan (5-4)

Michael Mitchell threw for three touchdowns and Jeremiah Jones rushed for more than 100 yards and a score in a 27-21 win over Serra to snap an eight game losing streak to the Padres. Riordan ends the regular season by hosting St. Francis, which is the lone undefeated squad in the SFL.

16. Serra (4-5)

Serra got more than 150 total yards and two touchdowns from Nano Latu, but fell to Riordan 27-21. In three league losses, the Padres have lost by a combined 13 points. Serra will host Valley Christian this week as it looks to end the regular season at .500.

17. Cardinal Newman (8-1)

The Cardinals tallied 146 total yards and were held without a touchdown in a 13-3 loss to Marin Catholic to snap an eight game winning streak. Jamari Gentry had 18 carries for 107 yards and added an interception on defense.

18. Salinas (7-2)

The Cowboys got 122 passing yards and a touchdown from Rico Maturino, but fell to Soquel 34-14 for their first league loss since 2022. The Cowboys have scored 14 points in each of their losses. Salinas will travel to Hollister this week in the regular season finale.

19. Valley Christian-San Jose (5-4)

The Warriors got the scoring going with a touchdown pass from Rome Leota-Pritchard to Lasavion Carr, but couldn’t keep up with St. Francis in a 35-17 loss. It was a season high in points allowed by the Warriors. They end the regular season this week against Serra.

20. Wilcox (7-2)

The Chargers have won five in a row after knocking off Los Gatos 19-14. Brayden Rosa rushed for 128 yards and three touchdowns as part of a team wide 256 rushing yard effort. Santino Barragan had a team high 11 tackles. Wilcox will host Menlo-Atherton this week.

Just got the notice. Looks like they hired somebody outside for the athletic director position which was criminal to me given how much Coach Clink gave to that school. I know he wanted that role.

But deep down I think it was more family related as he wants to spend more time watching his son compete in wresting at Cal Poly SLO. Coach Clink is a friend to many of us on here and I wish him the best. He built one of the best D2 programs in the country. I doubt he's done for good. I could see him popping up as an asst D1 down the road but sounds like he's resetting for now.

Game of the Week Poll - https://norcalpreps.forums.rivals.com/threads/week-11-game-of-the-week-poll.30887/

Where to start?

I thought MC was just tougher than CN today.

MC was continually pushing the CN receivers off their lines and the MC def line DOMINATED the CN offensive line.

We are now at 1 win in the last 19 yrs for CN vs MC and im getting some serious big brother/little brother vibes in the rivalry.
I truly believe CN has more talent this year. This is MCs worst team in 4 yrs and CNs best AND yet MC controlled the game, controlled the line of scrimmage and it never felt like CN was going to win.

Kudos to MC for a great win...



***now comes the question where does the NCS place (for playoffs) a D6 school (in CN) who came in 2nd place in league who's best win is a 1 pt OT win vs a (7-2)Windsor.

On the losing end game. But, great work If you get a chance check it out. LED lights. And awesome scoreboard. And from what I heard community paid for. Manteca is also investing in East Union too.

Should be a great weekend of games!
