Riordan plays Bellarmine and SI plays Mitty on Wednesday.

Strong rumors out of so cal that Cronin is a finalist for Santa Margarita job in Orange County. Recall Cronin was offered Servite job a few years back and declined.

Would be a loss for Nor Cal football if he leaves.

With the addition of point guard Oscar Moreno, Turlock could take a big step toward the CCC title with a win on Friday.

Riordan only dropping one space due to tough road loss to Serra. SHC one dimensional; need to prove their talent can put four quarters together. LW finally take University on ultimate neutral court. Burton discipline turning heads. Washington making most of talent.

3. University - always a competitive schedule, ahead of Riordan by virtue of win; behind Mission by virtue of loss.
4. Riordan - quality wins over St. Mary and MV
5. SHC- relatively unknown quantity by virtue of no home schedule. Lost badly to MV.
6. Urban - good schedule with only blimp in tight game v. University
7. Stuart Hall - hot and cold, heading into league with consecutive losses.
8. Lick Wilmerding- flying under the radar, will know more once league starts

545p University-SF vs Brookside Christian-Stockton
730p Riordan vs Oakland Tech

Monte Vista @ Livermore
Amador Valley @ DLS
SRV @ Cal
Granada @ Foothill

First 2 should be blowouts.
SRV-Cal should be the only close one.
Foothill would have to really stumble vs. Granada, but Granada is capable of scoring high numbers.

Just finished watching the movie and it was an eye opener for me having two boys that compete at a high level in football. One in college and one in highschool. They started at an early age in popwarner, but if I knew what I know now I would have let them play, but at a later age.
There have been alot more rules implemented in regards to spearing and hitting defenseless players which has helped in a way, but I would tend to see lineman having a tough time not getting helmet to helmet contact on a regular basis.
Just wanted to know thoughts on the movie if anyone has checked it out, and if you haven't, go see it.

9. Matthew Krook Oregon (St. Ignatius)

Seems the program took a hit after Hansen retired, but also it seemed the underclass were down at the time as well. Has there been any change in the admin or demographics that may have impacted the program or is it more cycle related? The recent coach seemed okay and may have been a timing issue as far as not as much to work with and also Milpitas, Los Gatos and Wilcox seemed o have been in an up cycle during the last couple years (LG more two seasons ago).
